99% of people are, but think about that for just a second. In a civilized society, sex is a normal thing that occurs all the time, and violence and gore is much much rarer and very traumatic to most people.
We are all the product of sex, the vast majority of parents had sex to make their children, yet watching actors simulate sex with our parents is much more uncomfortable than watching actors simulate violence. It’s just bizarre when you divorce it from our hang ups.
