According to a study conducted by the Parents Television Council, marital sex is portrayed as boring on television while extra-marital sex is portrayed as “glamorous” and “exciting”. The study then goes on to state that those portrayals are wrong, if not downright inaccurate.
“Everybody is having sex on Television except for married couples,” PTC president Tim Winter said.
Perhaps television could satisfy the PTC’s claims if married couples are shown having wild, animal sex on prime-time. They also seem to forgot that in certain states, gay couples can marry. If gay, married couples are having sex on prime-time TV, would that alleviate the concerns of the PTC? I suspect not.
I find any study by the PTC to be somewhat suspect (I recall their rather skewed attack against pro-wrestling a few years ago). While their obvious agenda is to protect kids from smut, I believe that their more subtle and honest agenda is to create a social pyramid with the PTC on top.
