WARNING: THE BELOW DEFINITELY INCLUDES SPOILERS OF AT LEAST TWO SHOWS
Whatever happened to the days of Shameless, when a subtle shot of a man thrusting up against a wall showed us all we needed to know - characters having sex?
A lack of imagination has led to these acts now being shown from every possible angle, which I believe is slowly turning 'TV family viewing' into a permanent thing of the past.
Would you watch Game of Thrones, complete with multiple sex scenes and nipple flashes, in front of your parents? You would?
HBO viewers were left divided on Sunday evening after a four-minute, full-frontal orgy with approximately 40 people aired on Westworld (yeah, I counted).
In the episode, three characters were invited to a party. Once they arrived, they entered a room which was filled with horny men and women 'getting it on'.
Not only were they all fooling around and not knowing whose was whose, one woman was also seen pleasuring herself.

Unsurprisingly, the scene, together with the gore fest killing of two characters on AMC's The Walking Dead, has left many wondering whether cable has gone one cringe-worthy scene too far.
Premium cable channels like HBO and AMC have next to no regulations when it comes to what can and can't be aired.
Here's the official trailer for the show that everyone's talking about at the moment.

Some argue that it's because these channels can show more violence and nudity that draws a larger audience. Some people have clearly never heard of online porn - although the storyline in porn is limited and nine times out of ten completely unrealistic.
