Sex on Telly ...

Do you think that in the past 25 years or so youngsters have been so exposed to sex via newspapers, film and television that it has resulted in them being less knowledgable despite the info/material available to educate them and has also made them a little more prude these days?

I was brought up in the times where my parents picked up newspapers to hide behind and coughed loudly at any sexual suggestion during tv programmes. That was anything from a kiss to an obvious grope. I remember being sent to bed in the late sixties once a programme called Casanova (starring Frank Finlay) started. Some of my peers were not and it was hot discussion in the playground the next day.

I learned about sex gradually and I think this has made me a more adventurous person and a lot more liberated/less prude than thirtysomethings I know today. I also think had I been bombarded with it from a younger age via the mediums mentioned I am not so sure I would have had the same opinions and lifestyle.

So two questions. 1) Do you think less openness creates a better balance if sex is learned through natural curiosity and self discovery rather than being bombarded with it 2) What is the most rude programme you watched on tv in your formative years that your parents either let you watch or sent you scuttling out of the room?

It depends what you mean by youngsters. For the purpose of this thread i will take it as being under 16s.

It depends how you channel it with your children. From a very early age sex wasnt a taboo subject in our house, my son has always been able to and still does discuss sexual things with me today.

There are so many fantastic sex educatioal programmes on these days including teenage embarresing bodies and the sex education show that at 46 i still dont know some of the things and certainly things i didnt cover with my son either because i didnt fully understand a teenage boy or purely ignorance.

Some of the story lines in the main soaps have delt with sexuality in a brilliant way, the gay storyline in emmerdale was portrayed brilliantly.

Yes there is plenty of smut and porn around but by you saying youngsters im making the assumption that parents are in control of most of what they watch.

I am roughly the same age as you and grew up pretty much the same, especially with my father. Does that mean i experimented at an early age to find out what it was all about? I dont know, but i do know with my son it has never been seen as anything but normal

No I think people get more openminded as they mature.

I was not aware of any censorship as a child. I think that sex wasnt usually as explicit as it is now so there was maybe less need. I dont remember one program or film which made a big impression sexwise, maybe because my parents were always quite open and laid back about it.

Actual sex and nudity on mainstream channels, I would say a lot less after the 9pm now, compared to years ago. There is the odd series that bucks the trend - Diary of a Call Girl, Sugar Rush, but back in its day I remember Up Pompei as a child

What has changed is that relationships are more prevalent and how they work or don't in the soap operas and sit-coms.

Comparing UK TV to Europe it is such a difference, even the adverts show nudity during the day, e.g. shower gel adverts

At cinema things have changed, but mainly only noticeable via DVD release. Most cinemas avoid anything too adult even when it has a 18 certificate, unless it considers itself an art cinema.

i was brought up where sex was never mentioned. I went through roman catholic conditioning, oops sorry schooling, and grew up a well balanced roman catholic thinking sex was dirty and something women allowed you to do to them in order to have a baby. It took years to reconcile that with life in the real world when i hit my twenties. My children were brought up with openess, honesty and frankness but they didn't rush off experimenting when they were young. They were sensible about their exploration. They weren't exposed to sex but if they asked about it we told them.

I don't remember any programmes with sexual content, but i do remember staying up late after everyone had gone to bed and watching barbarella. I loved that film.

i had the sort of parents that used to stop me watching grange hill as they felt it was a bad influence so i'm guessing that anything that had sexual reference in it i would of been steered away from but no idea as i naver saw it well not in there company at least

what i did see, did it influence my sex life as an adult well it was Rita Sue and Bob too, threesome shagging in a car um well i guess that would be a yes then

with our kids we didn't use a huge ammount of censorship we just believed that it would help open channels of discussion with them and they have been quite open and honest with us, sometimes too honest wanted to block my ears on a few occasions but had to just nod as if listening

although the time i felt uncomfortable was when watching Skins with them not because of the sexual content but cause of the age of the characters made me feel like a right dirty ole woman watching it i really did want to hide behind the cushions

We avoid certain programms with our sons (the soaps for example) not for the sexual content,but because the other behaviour shown is so appalling.

i am happy to censor their tv if it means they do not see aggression, rudenesss,lying,cheating as normal.

At the same time our eldest,11, watches NCIS with us and tourchwood on iplayer.The sexual content does not bother us, they teach values we agree with.

And i get to perve Abby

I dont mind certain programmes with sexual content and can watch them with my boys - my youngest is 16. Things like embarrassing teenage bodies, sex educational type programmes. They dont tend to sit and watch with me, but they might come into my bedroom when Im watching it and they will comment.

If we are watching a film and theres strong sexual content in it, then im slightly uncomfortable and so are they. We all tend to fidget or either me or one of them will go to the loo.

I used to be embarrassed at Bouquet of Barbed Wire. My mum loved this programme but it was a bit rude. When certain uncomfortable moments came on then Id get up to the large mirror we had in the lounge and pretend to be looking for spots on my face, whilst watching the TV through the mirror.

" I don't remember any programmes with sexual content, but i do remember staying up late after everyone had gone to bed and watching barbarella. I loved that film."

That's probably the lasting impression I have from my youth regarding sex too. I think it should be mandatory _iewing for every teenage boy lol

My parents didn't really censor me as to what I watched but then I was never a TV kinda kid really and much preferred to have my nose buried in a book or out playing football.

Do I censor my 13y/o daughter? No, I don't, I much prefer her to hear it from me and get the facts straight than guess at it herself and get it wrong. I am of the firm belief that if a child is mature enough to ask the question then he or she is mature enough to hear the answer, although I do hold back on the graphics.

I'm not sure about the modern day kids but do feel they are allowed to be sexualised too much too soon, its hard to ignore sometimes

When I was a kid I don't remember being censored on programmes but like wishy says I was out or head in a book.

Looking at my peers, some with strict upbringings, some without I still feel I am more open about sex and what I want but then I was experimenting in different ways to my pals. My brother is a prude which just goes to show how we are all different within the family structure.

Me, I like to think I was born this way hence I never questioned it. I have hidden it in past relationships but realise I have only supressed myself

Now this is something I hoped someone else would touch on - different sexual values amongst siblings. My older sister was promiscuous in my eyes from a very young age (14) my twin brother is similar to me in some respects but miles off in others but our little brother (12 years younger) is a complete prude - we call him Victorian dad. His girls are very liberated in spite of the strict upbringing they had.
