Sex scenes double on TV
ASHINGTON - The number of sex scenes on American television has nearly doubled since 1998, a new study has found, as seven in 10 programs on cable and broadcast networks now contain an element of sex. The shows that had sexual content were found to average at least five sex scenes per hour, according to the study by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
The most popular shows among teenagers - saucy serials like “The OC” and “Desperate Housewives” - are more likely than other programs to feature sexual inferences or images.
“The study validates what parents know intuitively: Well, duh, yes, there is more sex on TV,” said Kathleen Abernathy, a member of the Federal Communications Commission. “We need to give parents better tools. With 200 channels, I feel out of control.”
