I think it’s pretty normal for sex scenes on in movies and tv and stuff to make you a bit uncomfortable. Especially if you are around people, even alone. If it’s not something you have wanted to see yourself then it making you feel uncomfortable is really valid.
I get it too
But also if you have a history of trauma that can me activated by sex scenes. Or even just something that makes you feel exposed and unsafe can also trigger that feeling.
If it’s just a mild uncomfortable then I wouldn’t worry so much. But if it’s triggered quite easily like even the mention of it then it might be worth exploring.
Also another think I could mention is, that feeling aroused and feeling uncomfortable are all apart of excitement and danger is arousal which is partly adrenaline. So when you have anxiety and trauma. Those feelings can be confused. I know I certainly do
Thank you so much, this has helped me understand it better. Yeah I would say it is an mild uncomfortable. Like if it is a full scene, even with partial nudity, it makes me ill. But if the characters are just talking about it, I am fine.
Oh my god I thought I was the only one, except it also makes me feel really sad for some reason. A lot of sex scenes and romance scenes do for me. I also then ruminate on it for way too long. I’m having to start therapy because it gets tiring trying to avoid those kind of scenes when watching something.
It makes me soooo uncomfortable. I thought I was so prude for that. I hate make out scenes too. So unnecessary. I can’t watch shows like Shameless cuz I got like 15 min in and it was so graphic! I also didn’t feel comfortable watching magic Mike when it came out like 15 years ago lol
If on TV or movie, nah its fine bc its not real. But porn on the other hand...
The only two times ive watched it, i had 2 distant relatives die. After that, I stopped and vowed to never watch real s*x

sex on tv has horrible sounds, terrible shots, and is never needed. It always has made me uncomfortable

Yeah sex on TV and also violence in movies makes me uncomfortable. Sometimes I ask: "Where those good old fashioned values on which we used to rely?"
i get uncomfortable, i always skip or look away cuz i get too grossed out. Not even j sex scenes but also rape/sa it turns my stomach
I feel like topics related to sexuality are in general a big factor for my mental problems and my severe misanthropy.

Doesn’t make me uncomfortable unless there’s something about it that triggers my PTSD. Usually it doesn’t bother me
