In the not-so-distant past, TV shows depicted married couples — like Lucy and Ricky Ricardo — sleeping in separate twin beds to uphold the moral codes of the time along with censorship rules. With the sexual and social revolution of the '60s and '70s, TV started to tackle more serious social issues, such as abortion in Maude , and introduced the era of "jiggle TV" with shows like Charlie's Angels , Wonder Woman , and Three's Company. Even with these movements toward sexual liberation, American broadcast networks were and still are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission FCC , prohibiting them from airing "acts of indecency" without receiving a hefty fine unlike movies which could easily include nudity. Free from the FCC's indecency and profanity regulations, premium cable channels in the late 90s and early s started featuring programming that pushed the boundaries of what was once considered acceptable nudity on TV. In the late 90s, it wasn't uncommon to see bare breasts or butts in sex scenes. By the late s, it was no longer shocking to see full frontal of a woman. And even nowadays a man's full-frontal region is no holds barred. Based on the book of the same name by Candace Bushnell, Sex and the City follows the personal and professional lives of four something plus women in New York City. SATC was one of the first shows with explicitly sexual content, featuring both explicit sex scenes and scenes of women talking explicitly about sex.

Want to watch something seductive that stays spicy over plus hours of streaming?

Nudity in TV shows has been the talk of the town for a while. Although the sex scenes are mostly used as tools of manipulation and blackmailing, the implications of the sexual references are stronger than the references themselves. Your take, please? The idea is simple — to survive in the wilderness alongside a person of opposite sex while being completely naked through a discourse of 21 days.
