Purpose of the Article
Indeed, after the endless media barrage of criticism of the Janet Jackson Super Bowl incident and the resulting FCC fines and court battles, there was a general industry-wide (at least for free network television) examination of what was being put on the air and this no doubt had its effect on daytime television fare as well, putting a damper on any scenes which could be interpreted as crossing the line.
This article will look at how men and women perceive sex on soaps differently and how they think this portrayal may be affecting them. The article will synthesize the answer to these questions from a wide variety of sources including books, journals, and episodes of soap operas as well as original research from a limited sample of original soap opera viewer surveys.
