[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 6264974, member: 17106"] Yes. There's a very clear distinction. Pay cable channels can show more. Network TV can't show breasts or any other sexual body part (at least, barring exceptions for some educational/documentary purposes). There are also serious restrictions on the type of acts that can be shown. I remember listening to a number of very interesting podcasts on how Battlestar Galactica scenes had to be edited very precisely as to the number of thrusts/moans/etc. Even on pay cable there are limits. There isn't any real sex of course (which has a lot to do with actors unions and some very legitimate concerns), and the male anatomy is taboo (oddly enough, showing the entire woman doesn't seem to be a problem at all). Even that is fairly conservative, when you consider the underlying biology. Clearly, relationships with large age differences can be (and perhaps inherently are) abusive, but teenagers having sex with each other is pretty normal. At the moment, an 18 year old and a 17 year old in the US are separated by that age of consent. [/QUOTE]
