There has been a significant shift in the way teen TV shows handle sexual topics, moving from an overtly educational approach to a more positive outlook. This change aims to alleviate controversies surrounding teen sexuality, while also providing a broader spectrum of choices for teen girls. However, it also underscores the dangers they face in a patriarchal society, reinforcing the need for caution and boundaries when it comes to girlhood sexuality.
A rash of teen TV shows that deal with stories and depictions of sex explicitly and graphically prove a marked change from the overtly pedagogical approach teen television shows of the past took to tackling controversial issues. Utilizing industry interviews to understand this shift, I argue that series include progressive rhetoric, specifically sex positive rhetoric lifted from the popular feminist movement, in their stories of teen sexuality in order to mitigate controversies that inevitably crop up in public discourse whenever teen sexuality is represented. In so doing, such series shape the potential and parameters of teen girl sexuality. This framing provides for a more capacious spectrum of sexuality for girls, namely in more nuanced and more frequent depictions of queer sexuality and sexually agentive girls. Yet it also highlights the dangers their sexuality poses living in a patriarchal world, subsequently upholding framings of caution and boundaries around girlhood sexuality.
