For those who presume that Hollywood's ideological inner workings operate at an unconscious level, Peter Guber's comments regarding sexuality in the above quote, while disturbing, are refreshingly transparent. Sexuality, he contends, has a particular place in contemporary Hollywood films. It must be presented in one of two styles, either comedic or violent, in order to put the audience at ease. However, sex portrayed in a ‘realistic’ manner cannot be represented in mainstream films because it does not sell, particularly, as Guber goes on to say, to a very important segment of the population – men. This chapter reflects on the implications of Guber's sentiments by examining the discourses in and around female sexuality in the postfeminist romance cycle. In the post-Code era, sexuality is both highly visible and increasingly invisible, depending on the media form that one is considering. On one end of the cultural spectrum we have what Ariel Levy has identified as ‘raunch’ culture, wherein women and young girls' sexual identity revolves around being seen as a sexual object.
