Warning: This post might be disturbing to some!

I always think about hearing my elders talking when I was growing up, saying, nothing is sacred (not a religious family by a long-shot) anymore. Also, I remember hearing how it really good and proper to leave some things to the imagination. For me tv and movies were nice to watch because they weren't reality, some realities are hell, and it was a nice "escape" once in awhile. I also remember thinking how men and women were starting to make such asses of themselves, right in front of everyone, LOL! Now that seems to be the "in" thing. Let's not hide how stupid we are, let's make a show about it so the whole human race can tune in.

Think of it folks, I might have a show of my own where I can pick my nose on camera and scratch my butt! Now that's entertainment hey!!
 
I hear you, nwlady, some things are unattractive in private, less so in public. By the same token, I find overly sentimental, unrealistic portrayals of family life aka leave it to Beaver, Brady Bunch, etc. utterly nauseating. No such families exist. If they did, I would have chosen sterilization as a welcome alternative to being stuck in that particular Suzy Homemaker Hell. Save me, Gloria Steinem! Lol.
 

I agree with you as well Shalimar, there seems to be no happy medium. In fact, some shows, like Donna Reed etc., actually had a lot to do with me being so danged confused (since I believed it was real-life, or maybe just wanted it to be as I got older) that I looked for that, and when not finding it, said goodbye to most of my relationships. When people didn't measure up to those kind souls on the tube, well man, I must be lookin in the wrong place. Maybe it's good you found them nauseating, like too much Peppermint Schnapps. Man I'll never do that again! But I, to this day, somewhere tucked in the back of my mind, dream of a life, that doesn't exist, maybe in another world.

I don't know about Women's Lib, but wish there had been some "happy medium" there too:( There were some things I think we should have not discarded. I could live with a man being a bit of a "spoiler" to my little, helpless self;) I know, not much chance of that having become tough as and over-done pork-chop. denise

I can`t tell you how much hubby and I love watching TV in the evenings with new,unrelated young people in the house watching with us,and lunging for the remotes when the "call your doctor for an erection lasting more than four hours" or "if you are having painful intercourse" ads come on.. C`mon-are those really appropriate for early evening viewers?

No, they aren't appropriate. I feel so sad for young people getting hit with such stuff but you can't shelter them from it, if they don't see it on tv, they get it at school, or from peers. It's just another world we live in. I guess we can only hope that somewhere in each brain, there is some common sense that will overcome, win out over what humanity is dishing out.
 
I have far better things to do than watch television. With most shows, it's hard to wade through all of the garbage and find quality programming so I choose not to watch it at all.

Egad! On prime time television?
Some of our programs are a bit saucy but we do restrict the viewing hours.

We've also put a stop to these kind of adverts on billboards because of the embarrassment of having to explain them to children who see them from the school bus or family car.
 
You obviously aren't up on your Cialis ads. Let me just say that a woman should be receptive to her partner's readiness no matter the location and what he does to enhance the mood...:eek:
 
I liked Ike, and this country needs another father figure to straighten this country out, not some horny young men like JFK and Bubba...:love_heart:

Ralphy, you ARE off your meds -- no matter the location -- like in the middle of Safeway or something??? AND how about the male partner's readiness to respond to his female partner's needs -- like in the middle of Sunday football!
