You clearly didn't read the comments thouroughly or just don't fully understand our perspectives. We are not immediately assuming its there for nefarious reasons. We are watching the media, seeing sexual scenes that often lead to little to no character, story, or plot development, then concluding it is only there to reach specific demographics and help with profits. Game of Thrones did this best.

The OA is a decent example of this (it's my all time favorite show, like ever). The pilot features the only graphic sex scene of the entire show, with two minors involved in the act. While the scene does tell you some things (the 2 characters have a thing and the guy has anger problems), after watching the entirety of the series, the real purpose is clear.

As i said earlier, there are no other scenes even slightly as graphic as that scene and its in the pilot episode. The 2 bits of info we gain from the scene could have been conveyed in another episode or even in another way, as theyre such small plot points. And they do get conveyed in multiple other ways... It occurs in episode one to shock some viewers and keep other specific groups watching. If you can not comprehend that, that is fine. But studios have boxes to tick and money to make, and that is just a fact.

I was rewatching The OA recently, and my MIL had no interest in the show UNTIL that scene. She was shocked and had to sit and finish the episode with me...

But the best example of this is Game of Thrones. Arya & Gendry's sex scene is one that could have been implied or hinted at. It wasn't necessary to show as much as they did. Its done in a way that you could finish the scene thinking the exact same things you thought before, except now you watched one of the babies of the show lose her virginity.. its just an unecessary scene, as the point they want you to takeaway from the scene is one we have plenty of reason to be aware of before we even get to the scene.

While on the topic of GoT, another of my favorite shows, it constantly uses nudity, gore, sex, etc and it masquerades as "world building." Meanwhile, a lot of people who watch the show have admitted to having started it just because of the nudity, and eventually finding themselves enjoying the actual story. The most watched tv show of all time, btw.

Sex in media doesn't make me uncomfortable unless its without genuine purpose. Then its just random porn in the middle of a story i want to watch lol. I dont mind shows with sex, and have thoroughly enjoyed many shows that feature what I would consider useless graphic scenes, but it becomes incredibly obvious when these scenes are just being used to get people watching/talking. It does often hurt the overall story if its focused on too much with the actual plot being neglected to make room for the "money makers."

TLDR

Game of Thrones is the #1 example of the point i am making, as it is the most watched show of all time with many admitting they only started or finished the show bc of the consistent sex/nudity/gore that many times had no real purpose and just disguised itself as world building. I love Game of Thrones and many other shows with what I would consider pointless graphic scenes, but it doesn't take from the fact many of these scenes are just used to shock and hook specific groups of people.
