Henry Cavill, famous for his role in "Man of Steel," has criticized the prevalence of sex scenes in movies. During a podcast interview, Cavill shared his thoughts on the matter, expressing that he often finds sex scenes unnecessary and overused. He believes that while there are certain circumstances where they can benefit the movie, they are frequently included purely for the sake of showing bodies with less clothing. Cavill suggests that sex scenes can be a cop-out, as the human imagination can often fill in the gaps. Additionally, a study conducted by UCLA last year found that Gen Z viewers are interested in seeing fewer sex scenes on screen.

This debate surrounding the necessity of sex scenes in movies has been ongoing, with some arguing that they are distracting and unnecessary, while others believe they are a crucial element of storytelling. Cavill's viewpoint aligns with those who would prefer a reduction in the amount of sex shown in films.
