What do you think? Can sex in films and television go too far?
I think they can, actually. I think there's a certain line people shouldn't cross. I think sex can be done creatively and erotically in the sense that is done tastefully. But I do think that people can go way too far and often do nowadays. It's easy to just say, "Well, it's freedom of speech." Or, "It's art!" But the theory that anything can be portrayed as long as it is done artistically is stupid. There are still elements of decency and morality that should be adherred to, with us being a civilized species and such.
Two films that come to mind are, "Dangerous Beauty" and "Meet Joe Black." I think the sex scenes in those films were very erotic and well done.
But a lot of sex in movies and television nowadays is just gross and offensive, such as South Park. I like South Park for the most part but a lot of times they just go too far and do things that are simply in poor taste. It's odd how in modern society we seem to laugh at pretty much anything and think that are no longer any standards of decency.
