Maybe aggressive is the wrong term but while watching 'The Nevers' and Something else the sex scenes included the men putting hands around the women's throats.
These weren't rough sex scenes, or violent sex but supposedly loving relationships.
It has left me feeling very uncomfortable and sad.

This isn't normal sex as far as my experience goes.

That is horrible.

Nobody has ever tried throttling me but I do remember, when I was young and 'seeing' people, there did seem to be a tendency for a man to put his open palm up against the bottom of my neck, fingers and thumb splayed. No more than that but I never saw the point of it and would move.

What is it about this exactly? It is hardly going to give pleasure.
