I agree.  I consider Star Trek and it's varaints to be family programming.
There are several other shows I consider to be kid friendly action and
adventure should also tone down the sex.

I was reminded of the B5 episode where an alien seals a deal with Earth, and
part of the negotiation requires having sex.  His culture regards having sex
to be the same as shaking hands.  Ivanova was tasked to the negotiation, and
is trying to find a way out of it.  She learns the negotiator is ignorant of
Earth custom, and she makes up a ritual where she dances around the alien,
acting like she's turned on, then shakes his hand.
