Pushing the Envelope

My brother saw a commercial during a Super Cross (dirt bike) event for condoms. My brother isn't a prude, but to hear him describe the commercial. Sheesh. A couple was basically having sex with certain spots blurred out. 
I don't know if any of you have sons, but mine are enamored with dirt bikes. They beg their dad to record these events off of television. What if they'd seen that commercial? 
I admit I'm overly sensitive to all the sex and violence in our media, but I think most parents want to protect their children from such exposure. 
What do you think? Are the commercials and shows too risque? Do you screen what your family views? Is there anything we can do besides unplugging cable to protect our families?
