With more experimentation on screen, sex on TV today helps answer the fundamental human question of sexuality: 'Am I normal?'

bedroom scenes we’ve long been fed into something more even-handed. Sex has become more "real" on TV. Where sex scenes once largely imitated porn, they now mimic real-life intimacy, with all of its awkwardness and consequential human bodily functions.
