Channel 5 documentary blasted by angry viewers for showing explicit sex scenes
The documentary aired at 10pm and featured full-frontal nudity and extreme sexual activity
A TV documentary has been blasted for showing graphic sex acts.
Channel 5’s The Sex Business featured full romps, a close-up of a male climax, violent S&M and street hookers using drugs.
Other scenes were too explicit to describe in a family newspaper.
Three 10pm episodes looked at the lives of porn stars, home-based hookers and street prostitutes.
Each programme carried a warning.
Before the one on home vice, viewers were told: “Be prepared for full-frontal nudity, graphic extreme sexual activity including consensual violence, offensive language and drug use.”
It filmed three escorts — a young woman, a gay man and a dominatrix.
Ofcom had 15 complaints about it. One viewer said on Twitter: “What disturbed me was exploiting a vulnerable girl for a trashy show.”
The porn episode drew the most complaints to Ofcom at 21.

One viewer complained about the street vice show.
But a Twitter user raged: “How can they give permission to be filmed like this?
“Channel 5 is no better than the punters who exploit them.”
The station called the series “a raw insight into the sex industry — warnings were given”.
Last year an aroused male contestant on Channel 4 date show Naked Attraction brought 64 complaints.
And a 1999 Channel 4 show showed male porn star climaxing in a film.
