[QUOTE][B]ALMOST half the nation is concerned about the level of steamy sex and violence on television, according to a major new study by the broadcasting watchdog.[/B]
But the Australian Communications and Media Authority report has found excessive commercials are our biggest bugbear when it comes to the box, [URL="http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/sydney-nsw/tv-sex-now-a-viewer-turnoff-for-aussies/story-e6freuzi-1226175626878"][I]The Daily Telegraph [/I]reported.[/URL]
The study, Digital Australians, examined the new media landscape and found consumers were positive about the growth of new online platforms even though traditional mediums were still most commonly used.
The focus groups and survey of 1250 people over the first half of this year found 44 per cent of Australians had general concerns over risque television content despite regulations.
In a result attributed by experts to looser laws in Australia, ACMA noted the proportion was more than the 40 per cent identified by a similar British government study conducted last year.
With top-rating programs such as [I]MasterChef [/I]and [I]The Renovators [/I]now using endless product placements, the report found 45 per cent listed excessive commercials as their biggest concern.
Television violence (43 per cent) was the second biggest concern followed by too many reality programs (36 per cent) and the amount of sex beamed into loungerooms (32 per cent).
Not surprisingly, only 24 per cent of men were concerned about the amount of sex on television while a greater 38 per cent of women had a problem.
"Females were more likely to be concerned about violence and sexual content, while males were more likely to be concerned about too many reality programs and too many British/American programs on television," the report said.
It also highlighted concerns of parents over television and the growth of catch-up TV on the internet where viewing is less regulated.
ACMA said parents with children under 18 were more likely to select sexual content and nudity than other adults as areas of concern.
One parent told the study: "I limit my childrens' exposure to watching the news due to the horrific images they show ... you can't do that online ... they come across all sorts of things."
Media commentator Susan Hetherington, who has studied the impact of television on children, yesterday said the higher concerns locally about television content than Britain was because Australia's regulations were not as strict.
She said parents were particularly worried about adverts for late night shows screening in earlier timeslots.
The growth of social networking was also examined, with almost half of respondents reporting visiting social networking sites to browse profiles in the
past month.

Yes, I understand that it is says that sex isn't the thing that concerns Aussies the most.
"What does concern them the most?" you might ask.
Read the damn article and find out.
Too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing.

This just in, Australia bans sex.
I don't like TV sex either. Somebody ALWAYS walks in during the sex scene then things are very awkward
I can say this. Directors for Australian TV shows are so fucking terrible at sex scenes that you get an awkward mess of dialogue and covered up ass slapping.
Shit's just awkward to watch.
Can I get a video clip that shows what Aussies consider "steamy TV sex?" :v:

If it has her in, I don't see why anyone would complain.
They should slap some of [sp]these[/sp] on it, just like in the ol' days.
Problem solved.

That is a terrible picture, her face looks weird at that angle.
my biggest problem is TV has gone from effective sex scenes to "shit we don't have anything to fill this 5 minutes till the next plot point..... THROW IN A SEX SCENE. MAKE THE ASSES JIGGLE TOO, THAT'S INTENSE"
Everything really is upside-down in Australia.
I hate sex scenes, it always feels awkward when I'm watching them with my family. What's almost as bad is romantic comedies that are filled with sexual innuendo, and I have to hold in my laughing so that I don't look completely dirty minded. Or when my parents have to ask me what the joke is, that's also awkward.
Certain ISP in the US are going to make porn and "opt in" feature?
And now Australia wants to take it off tv?
[B][U]Give us back our fucking porn.[/U][/B]
most australian made television sucks anyway

Because bad television = homosexuality.
Who the fuck doesn't like sex, then?

[QUOTE=Somebody_404;32949282]Who the fuck doesn't like sex, then?[/QUOTE]
gays like sex too
just not the sort they show on TV because "family values"
Anyway, who actually likes sex scenes? They're just awkward
...People still watch porn on the TV? I thought the internet, tablet computers and to a lesser extent digital photoframes made it redundant.
