After previously sparking debate about his feelings on sex scenes, You star Penn Badgley has more to say
, while others protested his equating simulated sex scenes with actual fidelity. The conversation also inevitably became tied up in discourse around how sex and sensuality are
depicted on screen. Some people think there’s too much sex in film and television; some think there hasn’t been an era of entertainment this sexless. It’s the same old song, basically, and Penn Badgley is simply the avatar of its current iteration. The discourse will spin on with or without the consent of the discourse-ee, but it’s worth mentioning the context within which Badgley made his statements. For one, the sex scenesare not exactly loving depictions of healthy relationships. He also notes that he now tends to be older than his romantic interests on the show , which adds another layer of ick to the situation.
