About to say something that will make everyone very mad but actually sometimes being uncomfortable with discussions/depictions of sex is a 'you' issue and you need to address it.
Yes, it is fine to be uncomfortable with sex. But if depictions or discussions of sex make you so uncomfortable that you don't think they should exist in public or without warning, you have to do the work of asking yourself why sex makes you uncomfortable, and to what degree that discomfort is helping or harming you or others
You are being actively pressured by large societal forces to be uncomfortable discussing sex and uncomfortable with seeing it. There are people arguing that gay people are deviant and need to be kept from public spaces because what makes them different is sexual preference, and that makes pride pins allusions to sex that could traumatize unconsenting people. This is people using their discomfort with sex to harm others.
There are laws being passed around the world right now predicated on the idea that seeing sex or discussions of sex are traumatizing or harmful for children, and this is not true. This is people using your discomfort with sex to get you to allow mass surveillance and the heightened control of minors.
Is the "movies shouldn't have sex scenes" discussion the biggest problem in the world? No. But it is part of a larger cultural trend toward isolating sex (a normal, natural thing the majority of humans do or want) from the rest of the human experience, and using that distance to other and target marginalized people by painting them as perverts.
Sexual liberation is and always has been an important cornerstone of queer activism because sex negativity is real, harmful, and the current cultural norm.
