Why not talk about sex on TV? – Journal Page Seven

World / Juanma Fernandez

Although, since the transition, Spanish
 had been familiar with the unveiling in film, our TV did not dare to talk openly about sex until
 1990
. Then, a genius of the small screen, Chicho Ibáñez Serrador , with the support of those responsible
 TVE to put on the air the first program of sexual information in the
 Spanish TV history. Let’s talk about sex

Such was the taboo that prevailed then that even
 for hostess, Elena Ochoa , which Ibáñez
 Serrador defined as “being of greater ignorance in sexual matters” was a challenge to talk about certain concepts before the camera . In fact the own
 Dr. rehearsing at home repeating again and again words like penis or
 intercourse and then be able to say them without blushing viewers. The
 Spaniards began to hear for the first time on television expressions such as ejaculation
 precocious sexual apathy, premarital sex, orgasm …

Then come Tonight, sex , with Isabel Gemio , Antena 3; red Light , again with Elena Ochoa or I say so or you tell me and Two diamonds , with Lorena Berdún . Gradually, the
 platitudes about intimate relationships were breaking on our television.
 Sex was still a taboo subject for the Spaniards, as it had so desired
 Ibanez Serrador himself years ago.

“Is success? Talk about a subject that everyone
 He likes and that is not openly spoke on television and do it
 naturalness and rigor. It was very fresh, open programs,
 They are talking about sexuality with great respect
and if you allow me the expression,
 certain innocence, in which the subject is not exactly innocent … But
 made with love, simple and gentle way, say, “she explains
 presenter, broadcaster and actress, Lorena Berdún, reminiscent as it does a
 week a guy down the street stopped him and told him that “you have made me better
 person. “

There were programs also where there was
 any censorship. “I think the key was that, to let me work
 freely. We had our bronquillas with heads, of course, ‘This well no, no
 say that word ‘. But I was very insistent that trust me and
 made “adds Berdún, which currently has a sexual practice
 radio in KISS Mornings .

Two diamonds would last
 antenna only two years, just until 30 June 2005. Since then, sex is missing from our television (except in fiction,
 where ever it is more abundant). There have been only two exceptions and formats
 very different: All ahhh 100 and Sex Academy . The first, which aired in the sixth between 2006 and 2009, was a
 presented by Josep Tomàs space including gags of humor about the topics
 sex. The second, issued in Four in 2012, was a format in which the
 sexologist Marian Frias helping to five
 couples overcome their problems in bed.

But what is due this
 sexual deficiency on TV?
one round is possible
 of these formats? “Absolutely not,” replied Mariano Blanco, director
 Four programs. “On television we move likely trends
 and by fads and sensations. And many times you get the feeling, as in
 the case of sex, that at this time you
 teach the audience a few things
. If we dig, the insurance people will
 the same sexual problems a few years ago. And if we were to
 work, we would be passing through the same territories that have transited
 programs addressing sexuality in the past. “

” The internet has increased and with it
 the spread of all kinds of erotic or sexual content through the network,
 so the genre has lost some
 exclusivity on television
with regard to decades
 above. Not to mention the social change that makes certain
 content not arouse the same curiosities of yesteryear, “explains his
 part of the Sixth director, Mario Lopez.

The manager also argues what matters
 budget. “There has been a disinvestment in late night in recent years in all TVs, this being the
 ideal for this type of program time slot (for consumption profile,
 age rating, etc …). In our case, we have found when
 fiscally broadcast original programming in the late night , we have included sex as section (In The last monkey , with Manu Sanchez and Valerie Tasso).

“I have presented ideas to teles, but not
 been interest. The reasons they gave me did not have much foundation. I believe
 that when a particular fashion
 format, almost everything you want issue has to revolve around that
and does not seem to
 Sex is time, “explains his Berdún part, just introduced
 a pilot at a regional chain. “There have liked, but I have to be cautious
 because you never know. Like the thing begins to crave again. “

In this sense, Borja Rodriguez, psychologist and
 therapist helping in sexual matters to participants in the program
  co aching for couples
 Four Best call Pilar , admits that “yet
 break taboos remain. In Spain still there
 afraid to talk about sex socially
. In fact you are in consultation
 with couples until they caught confidence, do not admit they have a
 sexual problem. ”

Therefore, Rodriguez believes the best program for
 talk about sex on television would be one “to plurisexual level. Work all
 facets of erotic: a level of education, practices, removing fears and
 frustrations, heterosexual or gay couples, polyamory, bisexuality …
 that fear must demystify sexuality. And in that sense can
 use television in its most informative aspect. We need a lot
 Education pleasure to enjoy. “
