Sex and T.V.

I've never considered myself a prude.  I curse and drink and laugh at crude jokes...but I'm starting to think there's just too much sex on tv.  


I'm not talking about scantily-clad women, or sexual innuendos - I'm talking about the actual act of sex.  I think Marge Simpson said it best: "Fox turned into a hard-core porn channel so gradually I didn't even notice."  This is something that has happened over the past few decades - slowly and gradually TV gets more and more sexually explicit until eventually it will be all porn all the time.  Back in the day (the 1950's - 30 years before I was born, btw) Lucille Ball couldn't even say the word 'pregnant' and Mary Tyler Moore's pants couldn't 'cup' her buttocks.  

And look at how far we've come...

I've seen scenes on TV (I don't have cable - I only get the basic networks) which only differed from porn in that there was no genitalia showing - but they did have two nude bodies humping each other.  

Is it just me, or is that too graphic for basic cable?
