Um, ok. I very rarely watch ABC Family and usually only when I'm at my mom's house.

In addition to what I posted last night, I did forget a couple of times that sex was shown, or at least implied, on Buffy. Both were amongst college age individuals. The first time was when Buffy just decided to "go for it" and sleep with a guy on the first date. That turned out badly though since that's all the guy was after. That definitely portrayed it as a bad thing (Buffy was wracked with guilt for "giving it up" to a guy that didn't really care about her). The second time was with Riley. Riley and Buffy were in a committed relationship that went sour because Buffy didn't "need Riley". He wanted to be needed, but since she was so use to protecting everyone, it just didn't work.

Willow and Seth Green's character sex was probably the only relationship that had sex depicted in a positive light, due to the fact that they weren't just sleeping with each other, but were actually in a real relationship. Every other couple, whether underage or not, were always in bad relationships and it was definitely depicted as such.

My point still stands that Buffy is the exception to the rule. In fact, I would say that most of the time, Buffy was the only show that depicted premarital sex in a negative light (Vampire turning evil, Buffy wracked with guilt, getting sucked into an abyss, etc). And again, it's a show about supernatural forces. It's only suppose to relate to real life on a symbolic scale, nothing more. "Don't have sex with that guy, he could turn into an evil vampire" LOL
