Citing the fomer is "The Death of the F*ck" (ttile censored ironically, I assume) by @emilylynell.bsky.social, focusing more on the market and social forces underlying the current moment:
The Death of The F*ck: Neopuritanism and Commercial Fiction - Typebar Magazine
How readers with presumably progressive politics are increasingly aligning with the far right on the moralization of sex.

Digging at the problem of sex and sex appeal as something sanitized for marketability, "Everyone Is Beautiful and No One Is Horny" by @rsbenedict.bsky.social should be required reading:
Everyone Is Beautiful and No One Is Horny - Blood Knife
The human body has become a strange contradiction at the heart of the modern blockbuster. Sexy, yes. But sexual? No.
