Sex no longer sells

2013-03-28 21:45:57.064995+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

The Telegraph: Hollywood has kissed goodbye to the steamy sex scene:

According to Vincent Bruzzese of Ipsos, a market research company, sex has been all but eradicated from Hollywood scripts over the past 18 months. “Sex scenes used to be written, no matter the plot, to spice up a film trailer,” he said in an interview at the weekend. “But all that does today is get the film an adult-only rating and lose a younger audience.”

Or: Now that the occasional flash of boob doesn't really titillate 'cause every 12 year old has found more porn on the net, it's all about the CG effects.
