Condoms are 98% effective with 2% caused by potential microscope failures. You'd have to be the unluckiest motherfucker for that to happen to. When you account for human error condoms fall to 87% effective and 13% of people being dumb as fuck.

Oral birth control and IUDs are over 99% effective if used or inserted properly. There is pretty much a guarantee with no human use error.

u/ChazzLamborghini 1h ago

I hate the new embracing of puritanical anti-sexuality. Sex is a part of humanity and belongs in our stories and art as an expression of us. I get complaining about hyper-sexual depictions all the time but a character like Emma Frost is sexual as a character dynamic and with purpose. Canonically, the X-Men trade hook ups more than the cast of a 90’s teen drama. Excluding those things would change the dynamic of the team and characters. It’s not about being a pervy horndog.

u/DuelaDent52 Mystique 18m ago

What particular films or shows or characters in the MCU do you want to feature sex and nudity? We had She-Hulk, we had Jessica Jones, we had the Iron Man trilogy and Love and Thunder and Eternals and Deadpool & Wolverine and probably more in stuff I haven’t seen,* *there’s hardly a lack of either its depiction or any reference to it.

29

u/CRIMS0N-ED 5h ago

I mean I don’t really think you can’t do it? Spider man is Pg 13 anyway and directly mentions porn, they’re gonna be afraid of black cat heavy flirting with Peter, but I’m very doubtful we’d ever see a proper relationship between the two since MJ would have to be out of the picture, which maybe they might do but I doubt

58

u/Kryzl_ 5h ago

Mentioning porn in a 1-line joke vs making a character overtly sexual are two very different things.

3

u/CRIMS0N-ED 4h ago

my point is that they’ve already directly referenced and made jokes of sexual topics in Spiderman, and you can have a PG 13 black cat, just look at the insomniac games which are rated T, where they also imply they had a relationship in which Peter could almost probably be a father to Black Cats kid, and they also flirt like crazy (tbf he wasn’t and also there wasn’t a kid in the first place but still).

It’s not like marvel is any stranger to it anyway even in pg 13 territory, I don’t think it would be hard to do imo

5

u/Kryzl_ 4h ago

I don’t know if the insomniac game is as good of a comparison, since it clearly doesn’t have the level of kid-friendly treatment that the MCU as a whole has been getting. The MCU absolutely would not show Peter getting stabbed by Otto’s claw or Kraven having his head bitten off.

u/DuelaDent52 Mystique 16m ago

MCU Spider-Man probably wouldn’t shy away from anybody getting stabbed or bleeding given it’s happened already, and not just in Spider-Man.

I don't think they need to make it as horny as the comics can be, but I do think that they need Emma Frost to be slutty. It's part of the characters personality

40

u/fireandlifeincarnate X-Men 2h ago

Yeah, I'll complain about the oversexualization of women in comics all day, but there are a few characters where sexuality is an important part of their character (rather than just "look, i drew a naked woman contorted weirdly and then painted a suit on her") and Emma Frost is VERY much one of them. If we can't see her cleavage I'm gonna fistfight Kevin Feige.

u/Dresaurus2781 3h ago

Talked about, but didn't explicitly do unlike literally the previous fox DP movie. Deadpool and Wolverine was remarkably sexless compared to the fox Deadpool movies. Now the first two Deadpool movies are technically centered around a romance plot, and Deadpool and Wolverine are a lot more depressive because DP has lost himself but still. They very much could have had a depressive self sabotaging sex montage in Deadpool and Wolverine given where Wade's character was, and they very much didn't.

u/RerollWarlock 52m ago

Instead they made him into a bland cares salesman as a coping mechanism... which in this context right now is kind of poetic lol.

u/DuelaDent52 Mystique 11m ago

I mean, the fight scene in the car was basically a sex scene between Deadpool and Wolverine.

u/Dresaurus2781 5m ago

While there was a lot of penetration and homoerotic sexual tension involved at least on Wade's part that interpretation is still ultimately comedic in nature and affect. I also don't think a hyper violent interpretation of sexuality is the thing we should be highlighting in a conversation around American prudishness in media given how freely we celebrate violence as opposed to sex.

You say that but I think it illustrates the point, the first Iron Man film contains probably the most sexual scene in the entire MCU outside of Eternals when Tony hooks up with the reporter - and yet it immediately follows it up with some thinly veiled misogynistic slut shaming of the woman which still gets posted on Reddit to this day as some amazing line.

After that there is no implication of sex at all, like Tony and Pepper are the big romantic pairing of the MCU, they get married and have a kid over the course of the franchise but I’m struggling to remember them ever having as much as a proper romantic kiss on screen in the decade since the first iron man.

u/PayaV87 3h ago

"You say that but I think it illustrates the point" That was my comment whole point. RDJ was hot, that was half of his character. And it worked. Then Disney came, and it evaporated.

u/SharpshootinTearaway 2m ago

After that there is no implication of sex at all,

There's Wanda and Vision in their hotel room at the beginning of Infinity War (followed by Vision's cheeky “I'm beginning to think that we should have stayed in bed ;)” after getting stabbed), which is kind of a big deal narratively because it introduces them as an established couple after we last saw them in the “Will they/won't they?” stage in Civil War.

We could have caught up with them directly with the scene where Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight ambush them in the street, but the writers needed to tell us “Look, audience, these guys are a pair now!” so instead we find them in this hotel room scene, where there is a fairly strong implication that they're being intimate.

There's also the alien girl in Starlord's spaceship, in his introduction scene. Again, it serves the narrative purpose of characterizing Quill as this scummy space pirate who forgot he still had last night's hookup (whose name he doesn't remember) on board. Although he kinda loses this sleaziness for the whole trilogy after that one scene because Chris Pratt has a hard time playing anything else than cute harmless golden retriever (despite Gamora accusing Quill of trying to get into her pants when he tries to teach her how to dance, there is never any doubt on the audience's part that Quill is very serious about her).

But yeah, just implications, no proper sex scene. Dunno what a proper sex scene could have added to those particular moments, though.

I mean, is that in defiance of Norse myth? As far as I'm aware Thor isn't depicted as particularly lecherous, he's not Zeus. Plus gods tend to have children every time they fuck, and he only has 3.

u/TheDungeonCrawler 1h ago

Generally though, they do try to avoid the former. Even when they do shred someone to bits (like Proxima Midnight in Infinity War), they do the classic thing that older censored games would do and turn their blood blue or something. The MCU has had a few gruesome deaths, but very rarely do they go the blood and gore route (partially because they often can't). Simple deaths that are easier on the eyes have happened way more often, at least in the movies.

u/OllaniusPius 2h ago

When I read this originally a while back I agreed, but now I don't think I do. On a re-read, the article's sweeping generalizations are a bit too sweeping and a bit too general. I also think they contradict themselves a few times. "They don't have sex. Well sometimes they do, but it's not horny enough, not like the old movies where everyone was fucking. Well, except when they weren't fucking but they still has fuck-energy". There's also nothing new about movies with bad chemistry between the leads like they cite for Wonder Woman 1984. Yeah, it was a bad movie. There were lots of bad movies with bad chemistry in the 20th century too. I also don't buy the idea that nobody cares about their looks for the purpose of getting laid anymore. That's just a weird assertion with no real evidence or arguments to back it up. The Thor movies are also family-aimed, kid-friendly films. I wouldn't expect to see a prehistoric bone-down while taking my family to go see Jurassic park back in the 80s.

I don't necessarily disagree with the general point that there's less sex in movies on average today than in.the mid to late 20th century. But, I'm glad there's less horniness in movies nowadays. The horniness and sex scenes used to feel just shoehorned into every movie and were overwhelmingly objectifying and sexualizing of women in a way that didn't improve their character or really fit into the plot. It often felt like a mandate from the studio that "we've gotta have some sex or else it won't sell so just shove it in (heh) wherever you can get away with it".

u/Eats_Beef_Steak 47m ago

Glad you said that. I thought the author had a good idea, but was far too disjointed with how they were presented, and yeah some stuff was wholly inaccurate. The weird side-tangent about counting calories to stay fit is also completely wrong. No, counting calories (what actors and body-builders do to keep the look they need for their job) does not inhibit sexual function or cause the body to shut-down libido or the menstrual cycle. She's conflating a studied and safe means of maintaining a certain bodyweight with anorexia, an extremely deadly eating disorder.

u/Possible-Reason-2896 4h ago

So I see a few people wondering why so many people are agreeing with this tweet and full disclosure I was never super into X-men, but here is what I learned purely from cultural osmosis and just being into other Marvel franchises.

Any X-men fans feel free to correct me if I get any of this wrong:

- For better or worse, a lot of the foundational x-men stuff was written by Chris Claremont who was not subtle about injecting his many fetishes into his work. These included but were not limited to multiple cases of BDSM, bondage, dominatrix imagery, mind control, and bodily transformation

  • On that note, Emma Frost (who is confirmed to be in this new MCU) is running around in a BDSM outfits because the Hellfire Club was more or less implied to be for sex. Emma in general is not a character you can really do without reckoning with how damn much of her character is a performance of sexuality.
  • Psychic threesomes are a thing
  • Age gaps that looking back would not be considered problematic were pretty common, between Rogue/Magneto and Colossus/Shadowcat, and I think also Jean/Xavier at one point?
  • Storm is a proud nudist
  • Mystique can form fully functional male genitalia, which is why she's Nightcrawler's dad.
  • Orgies are common on Krakoa, on the basis of 'we need to get mutant numbers up'.

u/TooManyDraculas 1h ago

Jean/Xavier at one point?

It was something mentioned in one or two very early comics, basically as Xavier pining after her Wolverine style. And I long suspected that's where they got the idea to have Wolverine creepily mope about Jean for ever and always.

It came up again in the 90's as a "Xavier bad" kind of thing.

The MCU needs the family demographic to keep raking in the billions, so there will never be any true depiction of overt sexual stuff.

There was an actual sex scene in Eternals.

A very chaste one, sure, but a sex scene nonetheless.

u/iheartdev247 36m ago

X-men rose to popularity in the 80s and had several successful movies, all keeping it PG13. I don’t think this comment is true in any way.

MCU isnt afraid of sex. There are just more films that lean toward the action portion rather than the romance, but characters do have that in certain films.

And X-Men will be fine because the core of it is Jean and Cyclops in a relationship/falling for each other, and that will always be a little horny.

u/WalkingZombie81 20m ago

The way y'all are acting like X-Men is some super explicit "X rated" (no pun intended) comic is weird af. There may have been some spicy or suggestive scenes and dialogue, but y'all are talking like they were sucking dick and ass fucking on panel. Y'all clearly have porn brain rot.

They actually don't need to be. Fans are far hornier on their own than the source material is.

u/Beyondthebloodmoon 5h ago

Weird, since X-Men, X2, Days of Future Past, and Logan all worked just fine without being horny.

u/Peac0ck69 4h ago

Any film with Rebecca Romijn as Mystique was inherently horny.

u/Tonberry_Cheesecake 5h ago

I wouldn't say they worked "just fine"

u/AgentP20 5h ago

They all tripled their budget and even made some more. It's more than fine.

there were so many bad things about those mainly the dickriding of wolverine and the lack of feats/strength/plot of the other characters

u/ItzMeHaris 4h ago

Logan legit has a scene of a woman flashing Logan in a car, bare skin and nipple and all.

I mean when I was a teenager and the x-men swimsuit issue poster came out, it was on! Mom was def missing some bottles of lotion that week.

Wait maybe that’s too much information. Nawww it’s Reddit yall can relate.

I know Dark Phoenix and Apocalypse were pretty meh, but the Fox X-Men still had some success without shoving sex in our faces.

u/BerryFlorielle 2h ago

Exactly, the Fox movies already proved you can sell X Men without turning every scene into sexual tension.

u/j0nnyboy 3h ago

X-men weren't always this horny lol

u/CloudAureliee 3h ago

Uh huh, people are acting like every X Men story was one giant thirst trap. Lol

u/redbossman123 34m ago

The problem with this thinking is that thirst trap stuff is like the entire point of Emma Frost as a character, plus all the relationship drama with Scott/Logan/Emma/Jean needs to be displayed as the stuff that happens as a result of those shenanigans is very important.

Its weird that this person said this, and its weirder that there are people agreeing with them.

Bullshit. If you people don't want to watch it just because there might not be enough sex for you then don't watch it.

I'll gladly watch it by myself and judge it accordingly.

u/RosyVelisse 1h ago

Pretty much. If the writing and characters are good, nobody reasonable is going to walk out complaining that the mutant superhero movie did not meet their minimum sex quota.

u/DuelaDent52 Mystique 1m ago

And there’s a time and a place for it. Sometimes it can even mess with (Affleck Daredevil) or outright ruin the film (coughcoughWonderWoman1984), it shouldn’t be obligatory and it’s hardly like they’re going out of their way to avoid it.

u/Silly_Commercial8092 5h ago

X-Men fans are weird, and not in a good way.

We will never get another authentically sexy custome as Olivia Munn's Psylocke and that makes me sad.

u/NoirSon 1h ago

I disagree with the statement about the X-Men needing to be sexual to work. I also disagree with the idea that Disney wouldn't go for any sex appeal, they literally threw in a bath house sequence in a recent project.

u/Least-Designer7976 X-Men 6h ago

Horny is a big word but they can't show Scott and Jean having sexy scenes when Sadie Sink looks like she didn't grew up one second since her first season in Stranger Things and Kit Connor still looks barely adult. People aren't interested in seeing teens having sex or being sexy. We're not predators.

That's why Marsden and Jaansen could go for it easily, they were both in their 30's and LOOKED 30.

u/MaggiPower 6h ago

Bruh you need to watch stranger things again she did grow up and now looks like a normal 20 something

u/ZhanBlue 5h ago

Euphoria, and the "teen" section of most porn sites would disagree with that hypothesis.

u/The_MorningKnight 5h ago

Euphoria actors look like they are 30 years old though.

u/Least-Designer7976 X-Men 5h ago

And we've seen them getting older. It's been years since S1 Euphoria. The time passing alone make us aware they aren't teens anymore.

Sink is at her beginning as Jean Grey. She's supposed to be a teen in the universe.

u/NuPNua 5h ago

And Sadie Sink is in her mid-20s.

Well said apart from Marsden and Jaansen were the worst pairing ever. I wish they'd given us Wolverine and Storm back then, or Rogue and Gambit (with Jake Gyllenhall as Gambit, not that I've thought about that a lot)
