How about on 'Biggest Loser' they can show the 400 lb dude with 38 DD with areola's the size of paint can lids but they blur out the ass crack of a skinny chick on Survivor? It's beyond dumb.

What percentage of the population is arrested for violent crimes?
What percentage of the population is involved in teen pregnancy?


Parents aren't concerned about their kids becoming serial killers (generally speaking . . .).
Parents ARE concerned about teen pregnancy.

:rolleyes: Um, sex feels good, that's why people do it.

Seeing a boob or a bare ass on TV has absolutely nothing to do with teen pregnancy.

pretty much it. We want to have sex. showing a boob on tv won't have a impact on teen pregnancy.

teens have sex because it feels good. not because society says to do it.

Just out of curiosity, does the same argument apply to showing smoking in tv and movies?

smoking has been proven time and time again that it will kill you. There has NEVER been a positive reason to smoke.

you can not try to make smoking and sex equal.

religion is what is wrong.

I disagree.

I have friends that are not religious yet think nudity on tv is wrong. They could never give me a answere that was not "it increases teen pregnancy".

I don't think most people remember when they were teens (if they were having sex anyway). It wasn't the fact that there was sex in movies. It wasn't how she was dressed. It was the fact she was female and i was a horny teenage boy.

Yeah, NYPD Blue was famous in the early years for ass and sideboob. I remember people making a big stink about Dennis Franz showing his ass on the show.

THAT does need to be banned! And all copies burned!

that is a minority and you know that the church as a whole shuns sexuality.

I don't think the blood/violence on TV is so bad frankly, but I do think there's an unhealthy sex obsession in the US, though I don't know if relaxing the restrictions on it would help or not by sort of 'de-mystifying' it.

Easy. One is the sexual and the other is the exact opposite of sexual. They should start to blur over the faces of hot women. I think sex when I see a cute face. They could show crystal clear high def obese people all day and I would not get hard at all.

Adam Carolla had a nice rant on this.

The eating dinner test. Whats more likey to cause you to spit up something you are eating while watching TV?
-Fear factor eating some bull balls
-The biggest loser, some 500lb dude, with no shirt on with his triple F bitch tits showing

OR
Some in shape female with no shirt on?

if anything, it could possibly combat teen pregnancy in the long run by leading to more openness around sex.

Or....it could lead to more fapping, lowering guys sex drives and leading to less sex.

again not the point

it's not what disgusts you, it's what might influence your kids into behavior you don't want
