I feel like people confuse sex for a more ambient, lowkey sort of horniness. A sense of being lived in. The issue isn't that movies are literally sexless, it's that they're figuratively sexless. Everyone's conventionally attractive, but in a sterile, lifeless way.
Americans are simultaneously very horny and very prudish
This is the source of many, many, MANY of our cultural neuroses. I blame the fact that a lot of old school American doctors and social leaders thought any sort of excitement was either physically bad or spiritually bad
should've pushed the puritans back into the sea
Yeah, people don't need to fuck but it can be appropriate for a character to avoid making it seem like they don't know what sex even is and frankly aren't interested in finding out.
