There were nearly 3,800 scenes with sexual content spotted in more than 1,100 shows researchers studied, up from about 1,900 such scenes in 1998, the first year of the Kaiser Family Foundation survey.

now who's actually getting paid to watch for this ?

How does this show sex sells? It just shows sex is more widely used

Because it wouldn't be more widely used if it wasn't selling.

Not necessarily. How many shows do you decide to watch based on sexual content? Not that I'd care, but you'd probably have to go pretty far out of your way to find something with little or no sexual content.

Racy material in general, not just sexual content.

Think of some good TV shows that were successful because they contained racy, yet intriguing, premises. Oz, Nip/Tuck, the Shield, 24.... Sex in the City *shudder*

Says it all. If a new show came out featuring people sticking balloons and gerbils up their asses and all of a sudden became the center of public interest, you'd see a sh!tload of knock offs follow it. If it's popular, networks will employ it.
