...and replaced it with "seed." WTF. WTF?? "Sperm" is the scientific clinical term.

Have the Bible beaters really conquered the country?

And of course they cut out the line about "all masturbatory emissions could be termed reckless abandonment."

It seems people today are becomming more puritanical then previous generations.

On some stations, they have it and other words censored but on other stations, they allow the words.

Yeah, on CMT they left sperm in but censored balls and bitch.

Unbelievable. It's sperm. It's used to make a baby. You can't even say that? And I can't believe they cut out that line. That was hilarious and made her point. This is why I hate watching movies on TV, they get butchered!

I noticed that but yet they kept when Brooke said "dick" though. I thought that was so weird!

Different TV stations have different rules and guidelines for censorship, it's not the "Bible beaters". 

And where do you think these puritanical, sex-shaming attitudes are coming from?

Right. Cause every single last "bible beater" has a puritanical, sex-shaming attitude. *eyeroll*

It's not "sex-shaming".

I just watched it on 25-Feb-2023 on E! and they left in the "masturbatory emissions" and sperm, but they bleep out "dick" when Brooke was defending herself appearing to be a Gold-digger Trophy Wife by saying "Then show them a picture of his dick."
