Hollywood romance weirds me out. Everyone has s*x on the first date, people rarely consider marriage and children and anything that actually matters in a relationship. It's one of those film conventions that's very silly if you think about it. And if s*x is actually depicted, it's pretty much always tasteless.
In some genres, it's so unusual that it's refreshing to see a normal family for once (like Miles and Keiko in Star Trek, !trekkies).
I personally think there are times where it makes sense for a film but I'll admit a lot of it is unnecessary, so I get it. We're at point in society where porn is heavily integrated into the everyday. Insta and OF thots are shilling thier accounts everywhere and hardcore porn of almost any variety can be found in minutes. For boomers it made sense cause you'd have to put actual effort into getting porn and your options were limited. Now a days if people want to see fricking they just go look at actual people actually fricking. Watching two people over act and awkwardly dry hump each other with sheets covering all the important parts just seems kind of silly and almost pathetic. Spend that time on the plot instead.
This is one of the reasons I like k-dramas. You just can't have romance of any depth in only a few hours.
Miles and Keiko in Star Trek
Keiko was created specifically because the writers realized nobody on the Enterprise had a normal healthy relationship. But they still wanted all the main characters available to pair up with what they called the "bimbo of the week".

If every movie had the typical heavy breathing down the phone and masked pursuit in a dark park arcs they would take too long

Yes. Don't put s*x in my movie unless the couple loves each other.
