Sex vs Violence

Most sex scenes don't bother me at all. Rape scenes do bother me- Sansa's rape in GOT was awful but it was integral to the plot (when quite a bit of the sex in that show really isn't integral, it's just kind of background scenery. i.e. gratuitous) The rape scene was hard to watch, but it should be hard to watch.
Most violence in movies also doesn't bother me, but torture scenes are hard for me to watch. Like I love horror movies, but I don't like the torture-porn subgenre. The SAW movies, Wolf Creek, etc. The battle violence in GOT does not bother me. The torture of Theon/Reek did a little, but he was a terrible person so it was easier to take than if an innocent person gets tortured.

It's funny because when I was younger, I could watch anything. In college, a film major friend wanted a group of us to go see Salo. I didn't even know what it was but he said "It's the most disturbing film ever made!" and I immediately said "I'm in!" So we went (it was playing at an art house) and there were about 5 of us, I was the only female.
So about halfway through one of my friends got so freaked out he walked out and then the other guys followed him. I wanted to stay but they were my ride. I don't think I'd want to watch it now, but at the time I was proud of being all hardcore. I reckon by now it's lost it's spot as "most disturbing film ever made".

The other thing I REALLY do not like to watch is violence to animals in movies, even if it is faked and no animals were harmed.
2 years ago there was a Chilean movie called "The Club" that had a terrible animal cruelty scene at the end that just haunted me for a long time. I know someone will say why does that bother me but the human characters getting beaten up doesn't bother me... I don't know how to explain it. Animals are just more helpless.

I have become way more sensitive over the years. Or maybe just more aware? I used to like watching violent and scary movies and play violent video games when I was younger, but now it's just too uncomfortable. That might sound extreme, but watching violence sometimes feels like it's physically hurting me, or injuring me mentally in some way.

With sex scenes it depends. I hate sex scenes that pander to the (often male) audience, but I think they are ok if they serve the story and the characters. But imo the sex should be visualized in a relatively realistic way and include the emotional aspect, good or bad.

It depends on the movie. Each one is a unique case. If the sex or violence are germane to the story and not overdone, I'm okay with it.

For the most part I'm OK with both violence and nudity in film and television if they are believable or or at least conducive to the story.
However, any rape or gross torture scenes (whether seen or implied) are never pleasant, although that doesn't mean that they should necessarily be never shown.
I've always liked horror films, so seeing gore is not just expected but part of the equation.
Having said that, I couldn't imagine watching a fluffy costume drama that suddenly had a beheading scene inserted.

Either way, like a lot of people, as I have gotten older, I find myself a bit more bothered by senseless gratuitous (and often glorified) violence, but less bothered by nudity and (consensual) sex.

I dislike "romance" in my horror films. I dislike gratuitous sex in ANY FILM OT TV PROGRAM. But sex , if it is in continuity with the plot, I don't have a problem with.

Violence , no problem, I can see anything, anytime.

I don't enjoy either, but I'm less bothered by violence because it's not real. Nudity, touching, thrusting are all real and should be personal and private, not filmed for millions to ogle.

I'm most bothered by sexual violence in films and television. It's something that I have to turn away from as it makes my stomach turn.
