But Does This Actually Advance the Plot?

The youths don't like sex in movies anymore. The director of the new romantic comedy One Night Only decided to cut a considerable amount of nudity and suggestive moments out of the film in order to cater to a squeamish audience. As eager as people are to declare horny movies back, due to the release of four erotically themed movies back to back (The Invite, ONO, Camp Miasma, and I Want Your Sex), Jessa and Nico consider whether this is a trend or a blip. Also: are any of these movies good or are they just older people expressing exasperation with the New Prudes? Also: how does this chaste approach to films relate to the filthy run of TV (Heated Rivalry) and books (the having sex with dragons thing)?

Also: how does this chaste approach to films relate to the filthy run of TV (Heated Rivalry) and books (the having sex with dragons thing)?
