TV FINDS MARRIED SEX BORING, PTC SAYS
The Parents Television Council is accusing broadcast networks of promoting extra-marital sex while portraying sex between married couples as boring, burdensome or non-existent. PTC research found that during one prime-time period last fall, verbal references to non-marital sex outnumbered references to sex in marriage by nearly a 3-to-1 margin. Scenes implying sex between unmarried partners outnumbered similar scenes between married couples 4 to 1.
