Topic: American movies have lost the thread on female beauty and sensuality.

There’s nothing attractive about exerexics with buccal fat removal or fillers. Two second love scenes aren’t sexy. Neither is a woman riding in a bra with covers over her ass. Less so still is an above shot of the guy’s ass and missionary position, which is about as erotic as shutting your dick in a door.
Foreign films still appreciate female beauty. Spanish, French, South American. Yet, you can attach people into human centipedes or show torture or people being cut up. But nudity is bad.

I have the opposite opinion on this. It just makes watching a movie with other people feel awkward without adding anything of substance. And I never really watch movies by myself. Even if I did, I like science fiction movies I’m not really a fan of romance and overly emotional stuff.

I see that perspective. I just think it’s an oddity of American culture that sex is pornographic and ultra-violence is entertainment.

I’ve also never really been the type of person who’s preoccupied with whether or not I’m in a romantic relationship or worrying about whether the opposite sex finds me attractive. I’m not a people person.

It’s not really the only culture that’s like that though. From what I understand Chinese culture is pretty similar in regards to nudity. There are also some cultures where breasts aren’t sexualized (traditionally at least), for example, parts of Africa. But then even though they don’t necessarily consider breasts to be sexual, they seem pretty conservative when it comes to sexuality.

Absolutely. China has some rules about what can be portrayed. Technically porn and prostitution is illegal but, hey, it’s still Asia. They also have a rule against portraying non-masculine men on TV to avoid the whole madness of Japan and South Korea.

Tbh I feel like I’m in disagreement about "non-masculine men." Whenever I hear people complaining about men that aren’t masculine it’s because some young man who has some level of fame isn’t on steroids. If you actually look at normal everyday men who are in the 20s or 30s, most of them have a relatively skinny build. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Especially East Asians, they tend to be skinny. That’s not feminine, that’s just their diet and their genetics. By definition it is masculine, because masculinity is defined as attributes of males. So if something is naturally an attribute of human males then it must be masculine. Some of the socially constructed ideas about gender are dumb. For example, women will wear fake eyelashes because somebody came up with the idea that longer eyelashes are feminine, even though men biologically have longer eyelashes than women. It’s all just a way to control people through insecurities and sell people stuff they don’t need to buy.

Or like the idea that women need to shave their body hair to look feminine. But if not having any body hair was actually feminine then biologically speaking, why would women have body hair in the first place?

Or even stuff like hair length. People think me should have short hair and women should have longer hair. But originally, hair length was a sign of status. Wealthy men would have longer hair in European societies for example, you can find paintings of British or French kings depicted with very long hair. But what happened is that since women were relegated to home life and men were supposed to work, poor men would cut their hair short so they didn’t get lice from working outdoors. The military also factors in. But there’s no biological reason why men shouldn’t have long hair and women should. There are actually a lot of women who find long hair on men to be attractive. Not everything is nonsense, obviously sex is a real thing and men and women have different bodies and different desires, but some of it is kinda bullshit though.

What foreign films are you watching? They are much less violent than what comes out of Hollywood.
