On February 27, the WE tv network (owned by AMC Networks) will televise real-life couples having sex for a national television audience. Based on a U.K. show of the same name, “Sex Box” goes where no other reality show has gone when its participants enter a soundproof box on stage, have sex, and then discuss their “intimacy issues” with a panel of so-called experts, all in front of a live studio audience! If this boundary is crossed, then what reality show will be produced next to out do this one?
Although the audience doesn’t see the couples having sex, the titillating premise that we’re watching while real couples are engaging in an intimate act inside the box on stage is obviously the hook WE tv is using to lure viewers, as their own press release shows:
“The series takes therapy to a whole new level with couples not only discussing their relationship issues with a panel of experts, but also spending time in a camera-free, soundproof box on the show’s set to have sex…all in front of a live studio audience!”
“Amazingly honest, provocative and yes, dare we say it, educational, “Sex Box,” may just be the start of the next sexual revolution in the United States,” the press release continues.
When you sign our petition today, 1MM will communicate your message, and that of millions of other concerned parents and grandparents just like you, to the network and advertisers.
The more voices we have, the louder we can speak out to stop “Sex Box.” A live sex show on TV is something that might show up on a premium cable network. But WE tv is bringing that content to basic cable and potentially exposing millions of children in the process.
Add your voice today! Your support will help One Million Moms stop this disgraceful new show from entering the American television lineup. If this program airs, then there will likely be copycats on other networks in the near future.
TAKE ACTION: Please sign the Stop “Sex Box” Petition to urge WE tv to immediately cancel “Sex Box” in light of the massive public outcry against this show.
