But that's just language. Sex and nudity is a whole other nut to crack. A court overturned that ruling, but, not to be deterred, broadcast networks have bypassed rules by showing nudity blurred, in shadows, or pixelated, which experts say can be just as titillating as the real thing. And instances of this have risen a lot. Another PTC study saw an increase of more than 6, percent for full frontal nudity from the television season to the season.
Going into , it's hard to imagine a blurred breast or butt being much of a shock whether one agrees with seeing it or not. Naturally, premium cable plays by different rules. But, even there, hardcore, penetrative sex is still off limits on even the randiest of shows. Some, however, have gotten damn near close -- especially on Starz , the pay cable and streaming power player with a penchant for showing male nudity.
Outlander and Vida have no qualms about letting limp dicks flop freely. And though hot, graphic sex scenes are a norm, Starz even blows past what we might've deemed shocking just 10 or 15 years ago on HBO, like talked-about scenes in Power and American Gods where, respectively, 50 Cent whipped out his johnson and, on American Gods, Brian Fuller oversaw the creation of the most intense and graphic man-on-man sex scene in the history of TV.
When asked about rules or notes from the network in terms of what's OK on that network, one writer on American Gods told TV Guide pretty much anything goes before shrugging her shoulders. In the MeToo era, there's so much sensitivity around sexual harassment on set that even the approach to creating sexual content has changed.
As it happens, Cheadle spoke with TV Guide weeks before the network canceled SMILF , which became embroiled in controversy after creator and star Frankie Shaw was accused of mishandling sex scenes on set.
But even with an intimacy coordinator on House of Lies , on which the actor used to star, Cheadle said, it was incumbent on everyone on set to make sure participants, especially women, were comfortable with the demands of sex scenes, and their comfortability could change minute to minute.
Once, he said, "We had to shoot a scene three times because a woman thought she would be all good with it, but when it came time she was like 'I'm not all good,' and she broke down. Even though you said you knew what the role is, when it's, 'OK, take your shirt off,' it's uncomfortable. It's the biggest lie you can tell on camera, other than physical violence, that you're having sex. These days, you can hear all of them on cable television, but they remain taboo for network television shows.
This has inspired creativity. The influence of American films and television on British culture is strong. There is a real puritanical streak in America that is much discussed — but little understood — by the British. For example, Americans consider it a big deal when a public figure is caught swearing. No matter what age they start, the British seem far more fluent at swearing than Americans. They are more likely to link colourful language with having a sense of humour than with coarseness or vulgarity.
Here they are:. Even without making up new words, the British definitely have, and make use of, a larger vocabulary of swear words than Americans. The stronger your friendship, the more you can lay into each other and still come away with a warm feeling.
This is not how Americans roll. Indeed, there are some words the British use casually that are considered more offensive or insulting by Americans.
