Why can’t I relate to romantic movies even if I’m happy with my relationship?

Maybe you don’t need to watch it because you’re already getting everything you need in that regard in real life?

A lot of media consumption is to satisfy a psychological need; horny people watch porn or read cliterature – it’s pretty rare that people who are feeling completely sexually satisfied right at that moment decide to do it.

Likewise I’m pretty sure that people who don’t indulge in extreme sports are more likely to watch them on YouTube, and war movies are a lot more popular with people who’ve never been to war than with veterans with PTSD.

Maybe those movies are just more appealing to people who need to fantasise about that kind of relationship because they’re underserved in the regard, but you’re lucky enough to have all your needs in that regard fulfilled in real life?
