No, you're not reading the back of an adult video box -- it's just an episode summary from MTV's sexy sitcom-cum-soap-opera "Undressed," posted on the network's Web site. If watching fictional teens get it on doesn't turn you on, other 10 p.m. reality offerings on MTV over the past six months have included the documentary-style "True Life," with titillating topics such as "I'm a Porn Star," "I'm Horny in Miami" and "I Live in a Brothel."

And if that's too late for you, there are the virtually round-the-clock airings of "Spring Break 2000" -- in which preppy college types lap-dance, jiggle and lick their way to glory in a contest to be crowned the King and Queen of Spring Break.

Of course, MTV has always been a place where musicians felt comfortable flaunting their fantasies (and reflecting those of their viewers). Classic flesh-baring videos -- from Duran Duran's "Girls on Film" and Madonna's "Justify My Love" to this year's fetish workout, Sisqo's "Thong Song" -- have always brought the network notoriety and viewers. (Hard to believe that the now-tame "Justify My Love" clip was relegated to late-night airings when it came out in 1991.) And specials like "Sex in the '90s" and the popular talk show "Loveline" have looked at lovemaking under the banner of news and education. (Getting the facts on curved penises -- a favorite "Loveline" topic -- is educational, right?)

However, some of the network's latest programming is taking MTV's sexy rep to a whole new lascivious level. The network's newest original movie was "Jailbait," about an 18-year-old high school senior named Adam who gets into legal hot water after consensual sex with Gynger, an underage sophomore. Then there's "Undressed," which follows the (mostly sex) lives of an extended and revolving group of students at an unnamed college. "Undressed" is described this way on MTV's Web site: "A juicy, steamy, behind-closed-doors peek at the modern relationship. Mmm, voyeurism is good."

"MTV is definitely more sexed-up than it was five years ago or even a year ago," says Robert Thompson, director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University. "But this is a network that has to reinvent itself. It's defined by being cutting edge and hip. And as other cable networks have caught up [sexually], there's this sense that there has to be an escalation to keep these audiences there."

An MTV publicist maintained that MTV has changed little with regard to sex over the years, noting that the network has covered Spring Break for a decade and that its sexually oriented specials and documentaries are nothing new.

That's nonsense -- MTV's "Spring Break" coverage seems to push the sexual envelope further every year. Indeed, the coverage began to resemble an episode of "The Jerry Springer Show" so closely that the network actually brought in Springer to host his own edition -- dubbed "Springer Break," of course -- of the lascivious activities. Typical "stimulating" game: Buxom babes and strapping fellows swap clothes in a phone booth, against the clock. Naughty post-swap laughs are had from watching the guys attempt to keep their privates covered with nary more than a thong.
