Heated Rivalry: Sex in a Prudish Age - Video Essay Is modern TV becoming prudish or is that narrative completely overblown? Heated Rivalry has sparked headlines about sex scenes and intimacy on screen In this video essay, I break down the debate around sex scenes in modern media, the survey claiming young people think there is “too much sex on TV,” and why Heated Rivalry proves romance and intimacy are not the problem.
