Gender & Sexuality!

Content anaylsis

The visual representation of youth sexuality within skins

viewed on 40D - 9 episodes - roughly 9 hours.

I will be looking for:
Kissing - (kissing between characters with romantic interest - not friends/relatives)
Sex - (kissing between characters with romantic interest - not friends/relatives)
Instigating sex - (When two characters go onto have sex, when the audience are believed they are about to have sex/just had sex)
Clothes - (sexually suggestive - short skirts, low tops, high heels, fish nets, etc)
Physical - (physically suggestive of body part, eg shots of legs/cleveage - but not in sport)
Disscussion of sex - (any disscussion of sex, talking about sex)
Innuendos - (valid references to sexual behaviour/organs)
Sexually suggestive behaviour - (sexual suggestiveness, flirtatious behaviour intended to arouse sexual interest in others)
Sexualised presentation of body - (sexualised presentatyion of the body - lying on back - but not whilst sleeping)

Existing litrature:
