Was sex more "sexy" when it was more subtle (Read details)

Sparked by hearing a Bobby Darrin/Johnny Mercer song on the radio. The song was called “Paddlin’ Madeline Home” and the sexual suggestiveness was clear but subtle. Another example would be some of the films of the 30s and 40s like “The Thin Man” with William Powell and Myrna Loy. It got me to thinking about what we’ve lost with our body thrusting songs and overt depictions. Am I just becoming an old fart or have we lost some of the magic and mystery of sex and romance?
