In Storylines, whether in comic books, TV series, or movies, Peter Parker isn’t always a teen:

In his storylines, whether in comic books, TV series, or movies, Peter Parker isn’t always an adolescent. However, it’s fair to argue that many of the character’s most memorable versions are teenagers. In the comics, Peter Parker became Spider-Man when he was just 15 years old (through Marvel), and the character has nearly always been represented as young since then. He’s presumably a young adult if he’s not a teenager. He’s old enough to have big responsibilities, yet he’s still down-to-earth, relatable, and (most of the time) broke. As a result, there are some restrictions on the types of scenarios that painters may represent when it comes to Peter. Romance is frequently a component in the lives of blossoming young people, while sex is rarely a factor. When it comes to sex, it is seldom (if ever) explicit, and it frequently ends in tragedy and disappointment for poor Peter. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that our current on-screen Peter Parker, Tom Holland, and his MJ, Zendaya, are completely opposed to sex scenes.

Spidey-sex, according to both Holland and Zendaya, is not on board:

In a recent interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, the two 25-year-old actors, who also happen to be real-life boyfriend and girlfriend, expressed their thoughts on the topic. Of course, as Spider-Man, Holland was the first to speak out, stating that he does not “think it’s suitable for the ‘Spider-Man’ property” and that “we are still very much little kids.” However, he added that there is a chance that we may see a mature Peter Parker in the future. For the time being, though, “this is a film about honoring friendships and youthful love.” Zendaya thought similarly, referring to Peter Parker as “a little brother,” with which Holland concurred. Holland said, “No one wants to witness Peter Parker having sex!” “That would be dreadful.” As Yahoo pointed out, Holland has obviously not noticed how many internet fan fiction authors and independent artists completely disagree with him.

Still, it’s safe to suggest that, in the context of a film (particularly one aimed at families), Peter Parker should definitely remain out of the bedroom. Sex isn’t normally a big part of his personality, and most people would probably find the encounter unpleasant, to say the least. Fans may expect to see more of Spider-Man without sex in his upcoming film, “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which recently debuted to a stunning $50 million opening. Have you watched the film “No Way Home” yet? It’s a work of art. If not, watch it anyhow.
