一位影视评论人在《悉尼晨报》发表观点，批评当代电视剧中充斥的露骨性爱镜头已经失去了艺术意义。这位作者表示，"我已经看过几乎每一位在职演员的性高潮表情，而我真的不需要看到这些"[1]。在观看包含大量性爱场景的电视剧《Gypsy》后，作者指出，这类镜头通常持续数分钟，对故事情节贡献甚少[1]。
作者对比了经典电影的做法，认为《乱世佳人》和《卡萨布兰卡》等作品通过含蓄的表现手法更有效地传达了激情[1]。相比之下，当前热门剧集如《Euphoria》中关于Sydney Sweeney角色的场景和《白莲花》中的相关内容既显得不必要，也缺乏吸引力，反而使观众对性内容产生了审美疲劳[1]。作者直言，"艺术与社交媒体内容之间存在差异，但遗憾的是，这条界线正在快速消退"[1]。
A television critic has condemned the proliferation of extended sexual content in contemporary dramas, arguing that lengthy explicit scenes have become counterproductive and rob viewers of genuine emotional impact.[1] After watching shows laden with such material, including Gypsy, the reviewer remarked, "I have seen the orgasm faces of nearly every working actor, and I really didn't need to."[1]
The critic contends that sex scenes in modern television typically stretch for several minutes while contributing little to plot development or character arc.[1] By contrast, classic films like Gone with the Wind and Casablanca conveyed passion far more effectively through restraint and suggestion rather than explicit depiction.[1] The reviewer specifically takes issue with scenes featuring Sydney Sweeney's character in Euphoria and problematic content in The White Lotus, labeling such material as unnecessary and ultimately unsexy.[1] "There's a difference between art and OnlyFans, and sadly, the line is fading fast," the critic stated, suggesting that oversaturation has desensitized audiences to sexual content rather than enhancing its dramatic power.[1]
