Abstract

Abstract

Distributing sexual content has historically been more strictly regulated in Finland than in Denmark or Sweden. Airing Emmanuelle (1974), a French softcore erotic film by Jaeckin, on Finnish television in 1987 was shocking and front-page news. The article discusses the public reception of Emmanuelle in 1987 in the context of the commercialization of television in Finland.
