So a threesome between two men and a female has caused somewhat of a stir on one of our major television stations, and it seems that kicking up stink about what is suitable and what is not is the sole goal of some organisations. Rather then have people see and understand sex in appropriate contexts, the idea it seems to lock every cupboard that contains the truth of humanity. This is a well worn path, and I'm not revealing anything new about humankind. What society doesn't realise is the tighter they narrow things the more radical the backlash is bound to be - we've seen this in action over certain decades like between 1910 and 1920, between 1950 and 1960, yes, so eager are the conservative lobby groups to scrub off the dirty stain of sex on art, that it only takes one Michelangelo to come along and paint the Sistine Chapel.
So sit back and relax, watch the censors at work, and be prepared for the "big push over the top", as I personally, am dubious about this "all in its place" mentality that is nothing more then "murdering with a smile" to quote a little Shakespeare. Thoughts can't be filed, they wander free in the mind, they are perceptibly influenced by circumstance and surroundings, they are irrational and unpredictable, so whatever it is you do expect backlashes.
So, who are these watchdogs or as they might like to think of themselves, watchgods, watching out for? The children? I don't think at the broadcast time of this show that you are going to get many children watching, and what ones are will probably have seen more "sex" then the watchdogs give credit for. I know from having a son that his friends all sneak peek at porn and they aren't even teenagers yet. When I was in my early teens I used to smoke tea-leaves in the bush, steal shoes from people's verandas , and get pictures on 5inch floppy discs of nude girls given to me by my friends.
The dirtiest, kinkiest, filthiest girls I went out with came from "Private Schools" that were not coed, and had strict policies on censoring anything considered rude or sexual. These girls all developed a backlash in behavior, having been starved of experience growing up.
It doesn't really matter but it does matter.
Imprison someone and undoubtedly they will want to someday be free.

i can add to the sweeping generalisation in that i went to a strict girls-only school (hats and gloves to worn at all times outside). I learnt to quietly do my own thing.
Oh thanks Bittersweet, I do indeed like sweeping my generalisations, well worn cliches, they are my lazy way of making points, but to some extent they are just so true! xoxo Rups
And I went to a co-ed and have learned a lot of interesting and satisfying stuff from the internet in my forties. If they start censoring too much, a lot of sexually repressed women will never find fulfilment :)
I dont know what it is that has been censored - but in general I would be against any form of censorship. I guess I am sexually repressed though I try not to be - from family background not private school.
Having my cake,
some think that education has morals, ethics yes, morals, well no.

Mutley,
I think classifications are being used as muscle to censor, it is as bad as subliminal advertising.
