Sample text
Following up an earlier study, Silverman et al. (1979) analysed prime-time network programs from the 1977-1978 season in the United States. They found no overt portrayals of intercourse, but there were occurrences of implied intercourse, where intimate sexual behavior was about to takeplace or hadjust happened. Touching, embracing,and kissing were again the most common acts. O n this occasion, comparisons were reported between male and female characters. Females represented 32% of the character population studied.
Nuditywas infrequent and any that did occur was carefully staged to avoid giving offence. The only full-frontal images to include pubic hair were within the movie Body Double, which was screened after midnight. In scenes that depicted lovemaking, the camera tended toshow no more than the tophalf of a nakedbody and from behind. There was only one instance when the camera showed almost full-length nudity in ascene depicting intercourse. Women’s breasts, however, were shown on 11 occasions. The authors concluded that the amount and nature of sexual activity shown on television was not of a quantity or type that would cause concern to most people.
But a passionate kiss between two characters with a discernible romantic interest would be counted. With sexually related talk, any comments about sexual incidents that had already occurred orinvolving sexual suggestiveness were cataloged. For example, if one charactertold another that he went bed to with a woman the previous night, thiswould be counted as a sexual incident. Similarly, seductive conversations between potential sexual partners, even when no overt sexual behavior was depicted, would also qualify.
