Gen-Z youth want less on-screen sex in movies and TV: UCLA study

[bobjersey]

From the school’s Center for Scholars and Storytellers comes the “Teens and Screens” report, which reports that 51.5% of adolescents would like to see more content depicting friendships and platonic relationships. Approximately 1,500 young people were surveyed, with 100 participants from each age bracket between 10-24. (The National Academy of Sciences defines adolescents between this age bracket, which also coincides with the “Gen Z” generational distinction.)

It’s not that they want less nudity; they have access to it in other media. Porn is available in many online outlets, and gratuitous nudity is often/always a hindrance to storytelling. It is logical that today’s youth distinguish nudity from story.

It’s statistical malpractice to generalize a population based on the preference of 51.5% of its members.
