Premarital Sex

With more & more Americans par-taking in premarital sex we have to ask ourselves if this is really how we would like our children to be raised? In a world where Sex and the City is celebrated (yes I'm VERY Guilty on this one) is it possible to lessen the effect of premarital sex on minors? How can we take sex off the TV when it sales so well? How can we convince producers that really there can be more to a plot line than a steamy sex scene. As a responsible parent we've got a lot of help from TV stations on the quality of the programing based off of the reviews and ratings posted in the beginning of the shows but how about keeping some of these programs off TV all together?

I'm all for Sex and the City. I loved it when it was on HBO and hunted for people that would let me come crash their couch to watch (always with a little gift of bubbly of course) but now that it is on TBS, I wonder at the effect it has. Yes it's edited for content but the message is still there and at 7PM my kids are still up. That is at least one show that should NOT be on during waking hours for my children to happen upon, but yet it is. I'm not suggesting that the world edit it's content for children but shouldn't it be a bit more red light? Lets get our children to an age that they can understand the plot lines and the show biz aspect before we shove them in front of shows on the CW. Children have the right to be Children and our shows shouldn't target them into thinking it is the norm for all this sex.
