Preferred term

television and contraceptive information  

Definition

  • Despite the proliferation of explicit sexual themes in entertainment programming and commercials on television, ads for birth-control devices are still considered taboo among both media companies and many viewers in the United States. It was not until the late 1980s that some networks reversed their policy against airing any contraceptive commercials in paid programming.
