Sex on the tube study examines impact on kids
Michigan State University researchers funded by the Office of Child Development analyzed a 1976 77 television week. They found frequent intimate sexual references and scenes especially in continuing dramas and prime time. Alcohol use appeared widespread, while tobacco and drugs were rarer. The study notes children may see 30 to 40 such intimate behaviors weekly and questions what curiosity these portrayals awaken.
