    This makes no sense to me. What else would be worthy of being called grandiosely a facet of human experience if not sex? Sex has it’s olace among the importan experiences of human life - it’s how human life starts. It’s an important driving force, it influences people’s life, decisions, relationships, even lack of sex and the resulting frustration influences human behaviour. Asexuality is actually very interesting for the same reason - it’s a lack of something that most people experience. I wpuldn’t mind more films woth openly asexual characters. Falling in love is depicted very often even though there are aromantic people who don’t experience it.

      Death. The reaper man comes for us all.

        Yeah, sure, I didn’t want to say there are no other facetes, just that sex is one of the important ones. I wasn’t really askin :) The death and birth are kinda key, right?

            Breathing and eating is represented pretty abundantly in films. Pooping not so much, probably also because it’s a taboo. To be fair, apart from needing a break from time to time, pooping doesn’t usually really influence your long term life decisions and relationships.
