[F]ans of films such as Runaway Bride and Notting Hill often fail to communicate with their partner. Many held the view if someone is meant to be with you, then they should know what you want without you telling them. The [study's director] said: "Marriage counsellors often see couples who believe that sex should always be perfect, and if someone is meant to be with you then they will know what you want without you needing to communicate it. "We now have some emerging evidence that suggests popular media play a role in perpetuating these ideas in people's minds.I’ve always held that everyday TV is far more pernicious and mind deforming – in terms of shaping our psychologies, our responses to our own desires, and that of others, into the most disaffected, disassociated, and phantastic of ways – than the occasional boob, bush, or floppy flaccid phallus seen on screen or on the toob. Honestly. I’ve had enough of digitized tits when shit like Runaway Bride goes uncensored, the producers unmanacled!
And yes, I’d extend this critique to – GASP! – Sex in the City. What are more recent titles?
