The first aspect of the show that was sexual tititating for children was that
you had this sort of symmetry about the family. 4 males/4 females and not only
that but all the men had dark hair and all the women had blond hair. So the
family was sort of split down the middle, in a way. But not exactly, also was
this "pairing" of couples down the age groups. The first, obvious one was
Carol and Mike then Greg and Marsha, Peter and Jan, and Bobby and Cindy. Since
you knew or assumed that the adult couple (Mike and Carol) were romantically
involved, married, and having sexual intercourse, it made you wonder as a small
child what the other couples were doing, or thinking of doing, or fantasing
about. Certaintly they modeled their behavior after their elders (parents) and
from time to time fornicating with the opposite sex corresponding brady had to
enter their mind. Combine this with the fact that none of the brothers or
sisters were blood related which makes it "not technically incest" made these
fantasies even more of a possibility. Then you have their two bedrooms shared
by a common bathroom where they are bound to see one another nude or partially
nude combined with their budding garden of sexual desires and you have a
curious situation. You have three boys lusting after their perfect "made to
match" girls in the other room and vice versa. However, they also were aware
of the fact that they were "supposed to be" brothers and sisters and behave as
such. This morality was always in conflict with their more cruder and baser
instincts and the fact that they werent really blood related made it even more
of a possibility. So as a child viewer you left the show every week wondering
what went on upstairs when the parents werent home, or how many times did Alice
catch Greg and Marsha half naked or did she notice just how jizzed up Pete's
sheets were. As a viewer you only got to "look in" to the Brady household for
a small window each week and the subconscious sexual clues they sent you left
you wondering exactly what transpired when the camera wasnt on and when the
parents werent around. In some ways, the children themselves told you,
although you didnt realize it. This was the "sexual plot" that was going on in
the family week to week that wasnt verbalized or every spoken about literally
on the show but clues were given so that your perverted mind could follow it
from week to week and fantasize about the goings on at the brady house, even
though you didnt live there. And if your mind was sexually curious and
slightly perverse enough, you picked up on all the cues, and couldnt get enough
of your "Brady Bunch" because it was the closest thing to sex involving people
your age you could find on the public network. Even the Brady kid actors could
not overcome these adolescent sexual urges and reportedly made out or went out
or did some "fooling around" off the set. Even they, as actors and actresses,
were titilating from this setup at the Brady House and from time to time
indulged these fantasies offset, in the dressing room, or whereever.
