I'm not sure it's safetyism, or only in the sense that safetyism stands for the kind of creep who loves to scratch his/her control itch, wallowing in an insatiable urge to feel powerful through treating other people as objects they (demand to) manipulate at will. That goes equally for horny Harveys and ball-busting Karens.
To the topic of cringe, we fast-forward through these scenes, more robotic than erotic and worse, in terms of entertainment, always devoid of any plot development, character development, or other reason to watch. Maybe the streaming equivalent of commercials - time for viewers to get a drink or take a leak? It's kind of gross, mostly tedious, and as a habit reeks of writers out of ideas (time to find a new show, or better yet, an old one).
Spot on. You captured this odd phenomenon well. What did you think about all the sexual dynamics and scenes in The White Lotus? We could discuss on our pod.

Enjoyed this! We live in an age of puritanical mediocrity. Art suffers as a result.

I think all the prosthetic penises are also to condition straight audiences for graphic gay male sex scenes.
