Thanks for the education. Before reading these two sentences, I would not have thought it possible for an entire website to blow its credibility in a mere two sentences.

Thank god Christopher Nolan isn’t going to ruin any more Batman scripts by leaving out the heavy sex scenes, and don’t even get me started on the box office poison called “The Hunger Games”.

A sex-less film will never be a blockbuster? … Oh, really? Then how does “The Single Screenwriter” explain the box office returns and plain cultural impacts of, say, Lawrence of Arabia, Star Wars (ep 4), and Fellowship of the Ring?? Or is Mr or Ms Single really going to try to push the line that, for instance, camel humps, light sabres, and elven-forged blades are all phallic symbols?

Sure porn sells. More subtle forms of erotica do too. Sexual tension between characters work as well.

But the fact that the Harry Potter novels have utterly out-sold any “adult fiction” is an empirical kick in the crown jewels to this essay’s central thesis. Even for a teen or twenty-something male demographic. (Perhaps Mr/Ms Single believes that Optimus Prime oozes alpha masculinity?)
