when such things are commonplace we need something more horrific to titillate.

Though I share the same feelings/thoughts as Heslopian, I can't help but agree with billy also.
Take I Love Lucy for example, you couldn't even do a shot of the bedroom showing a shared bed ... only of separate twin beds. At one point they were going to cancel the show due to Lucille Ball being pregnant and for a large part of her shooting while pregnant her belly had to be hidden from the camera ... they couldn't even use the word pregnant they had to always refer to her as expecting.
Then steps were broadened and you could show soft love making scenes but only during certain times. Now today you can watch anything on t.v to the point of having to turn your head or toss your cookies.
It was once said that the television was the worst piece of sin furniture man ever made ... I think I agree. Yes it's true that deviant thoughts have always been there in the minds of man but I can't help thinking that constant exposure to it broadens our ill thinking as it does with healthy thinking.
Try bringing a person back from the past and have them sit and watch some of this stuff ... they'd probably hold up a crusifix and run for cover.
