sexposition
In visual media such as film and television, sexposition is the practice of providing exposition against a backdrop of sex or nudity. The ''Financial Times'' defined sexposition as "keeping viewers hooked by combining complex plot exposition with explicit sexual goings-on".〔 Its purpose, according to James Poniewozik, is to divert the audience and give characters something to do while exposition is being delivered, which is what distinguishes sexposition from merely gratuitous titillation.〔
==Etymology==
The neologism was coined in 2011 by the blogger and critic Myles McNutt〔Originally in: 〕 to describe the numerous scenes in the HBO fantasy TV series ''Game of Thrones''〔 in which characters talk while they have sex with prostitutes or watch them having sex. Author George R. R. Martin said this technique was not in his ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' books, despite the amount of sex therein, but acknowledged that his techniques of exposition were not available to the TV show. The term "sexposition" has since been retroactively applied to similar practices in many earlier works, including the older HBO shows ''Deadwood'' and ''The Sopranos'' (frequently set in a strip club), many older cop films (likewise) and even the 1930s comic strip ''Jane''. According to Poniewozik, the novelty of the practice is not the nudity, but the manner in which it accompanies exposition, for which older TV shows with less complex plots did not have as much need.〔
