    Hi Folks, was just watching 3e earlier and "A Girls Guide to 21st Century Sex" was on and I was.... surprised to see the were showing full penetrative sex, and close up shots of all the main sex organs!

    Now I'm no prude, it doesn't bother me to be honest, but I didn't think this was allowed on Irish TV. Have the rules changed recently??

    Why not?

    It's well past the watershed, in a time designated for adult viewing.

    What I find weird is on most shows they will show the penis but wouldn't show a females nipple, never mind the vagina! I wanna see some female body parts!

    Really? Tits are commonplace and only flaccid dicks are occasionally allowed in my experience. Erect cocks and vaginas are always off the table though for no good reason.

    As long as they're not on the table I eat off I personally don't care. :D

    Oh how times change. TV3 weren't long on the scene when they got the bright idea of showing Natural Born Killers. Had been banned here. They advertised it for about a week but ended up in court and an injunction slapped on them so couldn't show it. Now we have tv3 airing a programme showing camera shots where cameras never went before. Why? They claim its educational. TV3 3E are nothing more than gutter media.

    Is there a law on what body parts are permitted?

    Seen that show while I was flicking through UPC on demand, the synopsis said it was about discovering the female g spot but I'd decided I'd watched enough fiction for that night

    Iirc it's an at about 12.30 at night?

    Embarrassing bodies shows full frontal breasts and penises, amongst feet and tummies and necks and arms (etc!) way earlier than this- 9/10pm ish.

    I'd imagine because they are both medical/educational shows it's fine.

    Now I would say that the tv3 one pushes the"educational,not porn" parameter to the extreme. But hey wants wrong about teaching sex in a fun way. Or god forbid, in a sexy way.

    If you don't like or agree with it, change the channel. Nobody is forcing you to watch.

    If porn was shown on certain channels after a certain time, then who cares really? You're an adult, it's meant for adults, you can choose to watch it or not. This stuff isn't shocking.

    Chill Red
    No one is saying they "disagree" with it or it is "shocking" - they just asking what the law is in the area. Like the OP, I was always under the impression that showing penetration wasn't a "done thing" on TV outside the "900" channels... Apparently it is..

    Ha!!! Jesus I'm not sure even my educated mind would be able for that!!

    But anyway, that was my question, I wasn't offended just surprised to see a close up shot of a guy finger banging a woman's arse on Irish TV!

    To be fair, it's hard to argue it's not educational, so if that's how they're getting it through I suppose it makes sense, even if they know people aren't watching it for it's educational purpose!

    Ah God be with the days when RTE pulled a 10-part series The Spike half way through after complaints about a millisecond flash of tit. It was also sh*te but that was beside the point.
