Abstract [en]

Sex scenes in a movies and TV-series are nothing new, actually quite the opposite. Depictions of sex often present it as steamy, easy and pleasurable. But what consequences can this limited portrayal have on young audience expectations of sex? With our thesis we want to research how sex is portrayed in modern youth TV shows and how these portrayals are received by the audience. As researchers from two different parts of the world we are still fed with the same notion of sex in contemporary culture - that everyone is having it, and it is great. With this thesis we aim to understand how audiences experience these depictions of sex. We will focus specifically on TV that targets young adults as audience and we will critically examine media constructions of sexuality and sexual pleasure. Our main research question for this thesis is: How do young women in Singapore experience representations of youth sexuality on contemporary TV?
