New British TV Show "Sex Box" Will Feature Evaluations of Real Couple's Real Sex

The sex will not be shown (but I bet you'll hear some of it) and then will be rated by a panel of celebrity Sex Judges, including buffoon Dan Savage.

Now, at this point in the story, it is required that the show is being mounted for Serious You Guys highly moral reasons. This show's creators are claiming this is a high-minded pushback against... porn.

Frostrup said she approached the show with "great trepidation and a degree of skepticism, particularly about why we need a box, but ultimately I think it was a really really mature – surprisingly for television – look at a subject we've allowed to proliferate in its worst manifestations and refuse to confront."

Ah. So this "real sex" look at sex will something-something the fantasy unrealistic sex of pornography and something-something produce a favorable social outcome.

Or, just maybe, you're competing with pornography and trying to grab a few porn dollars yourselves. Either/or.
