Smutty TV

lumphammer2

With the recent announcement that a huge percentage of 20-something year old men are into porn ... I have no way of finding out if this is real or if this is to justify what I am going on to say ... we can be assured that smutty drivel on TV will continue ... Luv Island .... First Dates Ireland .... and maybe a move to even more severe smut ...

I am not a prude but I simply do not find this stuff remotely entertaining and it is like watching paint dry ... porn or smut does nothing at all for me and I am one of many I am sure who is bored rather than shocked by it ....

I think TV feels it is 'edgy' and 'adventurous' when it shows smut and porn ... the reality is that people who find this drivel entertaining are sad and they are in severe cases aiding and abetting crime .... it comes as no surprise too that many TV personalities end up in trouble regarding porn ... it is clear that many in power in TV land push for increasing levels of porn and smutty content ... trying to break the boundaries of what is allowed ... because they are into it themselves ....

You think love Island is smutty? You should have seen the 90's when we had the likes of Eurotrash, Carnal knowledge, Redshoe diary's and some French arty movie on C4 at 10 on a Friday.

Cork channel 18 baby.

Was it Davina and Graham Norton doing Carnal knowledge?

Eurotrash was peak entertainment

On what planet is First Dates "smut"? It's a Transparently contrived bit of voyeur telly, sometimes sweet when genuine nice people are paired off, sometimes car crash when raging egos are put together, but smutty?

That's a really weird angle. Has the OP even ever seen it?

Yes. Used to be on after the nightclub around 3am

Don't forget The Word.

And using First Dates and Love Island as examples of shows men watch? Think the only men who admit to watching those shows are those that are in relationships and watch because the women watch.

Think the better example than First Dates would be Naked Attraction.

It was gas all the same.

Between Eurotrash and weird flicks on Channel 4 it's a wonder I turned out half normal at all.

I'd say half normal and the other half has a massive forearm!

It is undeniable there is smut on TV, but I wouldn't lump Love Island and first dates in with it.

 I simply do not find this stuff remotely entertaining

Cricket doesn't interest me, but I dont start random threads about it. Thankfully, there is a wonderful technical feature called the remote control which I can use to switch it off.

Where though? In this day and ages what's "smut" on the telly cos invariably it seems to just come down to ones personal tolerance for sex and sexiness. And on that I'd not even say there's that much either - christ if anything, it has got more chaste, not less. In films for sure, where because of Gen Zs weird allergy to sex you'll struggle to find a sex scene in mainstream cinema.

Eurotrash was class.

Imagine using the internet, to post a complaint about smutty TV 🙄

TV is far tamer now than it has been in the past, as others have mentioned, Eurotrash, Red Shoe Diaries and plenty more regular programming in the late 90's and early noughties was far more risque. Live TV being a prime example, the news bunny and topless darts, plenty more examples and its safe to say that the "current" C4 output now, is tamer than 25yrs ago.

Gen Z don't do linear viewing, neither for their TV smut nor their actual porn.

I didn't think it was Davina and looked it up, it was Maria McErlane. I remember seeing a couple of episodes and it was appallingly bad. Graham Norton seemed to squeal a lot and was in hysterics most of the time, especially on one occasion when some fella with no pants on bent over and Graham Norton noticed that there was poo on the fella's bum.

I never watched it again. 😛

Channel 4 used to be FAR more risqué and cleverly so. It's pretty tamely commercial these days.

You're absolutely right

Davina did God's Gift.

Hangdogroad

Channel 4 used to show some right racy stuff in the 90s on the 4 Later slot.

CastorTroy

I remember the Red Light Zone block they showed for a few weeks.

And of course there was Baywatch. Great plots. There's talk of a reboot which I don't see having as much running in slow motion, at least not by the women and other such important plot points.

BaywatchHQ

My introduction to pornography was the show "porn a family business" around 2002-2003. It was about the Jewish porn production company Seymore Butts and would show porn scenes but would blur out the vagina. I would record it on VHS and if you played it on slow motion mode you would sometimes catch a glimpse before the blur came on.

I understand what you mean though, I hate sex scenes in movies. In fact I often look up the IMDb information to see if there are sex scenes. They are usually unnecessary and add nothing to the movie. An example is the film 'Babadook' when the woman uses the vibrator in bed. It was a completely unnecessary scene, they seem to want to add sex scenes in every film to keep liberals happy. Then there is the hidden adult jokes in children films like Toy Story. Woody and Buzz are named after sex toys, wrong on many levels.

Liberal plot lads

pixelburp

Sex as liberal conspiracy? That's a new one to me: whatever about Gen Z prudishness, something that in general has existed for centuries, I hadn't realised the simple addition of some horniness in Hollywood films was now being read by some as a fiendish and deviant plot.

I remember Late 90s early 00's Sky would have a few of these text/phone Babe Station channels I think, there was also Motors TV and Men N' Motors with strippers I think.

Norrie Rugger Head

To think that modern TV is more "smutty" than pre internet 90s?

Nonsense
