Gratuitous sex that objectifies people is not approved of by the Church. Erotic love is a legitimate expression of love between a husband and wife, but it isn't entertainment.
For great TV & movie reviews from a THINKING Catholic source I highly recommend Sr. Rose Pacatte: http://journals.aol.com/rosepacatte/MyMovies/

I don't believe the Catholic Church has an official stand on this.
Perhaps it would be safe to say that the Church would encourage those who are in the mass media to be mindful, in justice and in charity, of their brothers and sisters as they strive to practice the virtue of holy chastity.

Against of course. It violates more than one Commandment. Just another symptom of our diseased corrupt society.
VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) – Video games, animated films and other media that exalt violence and trivialize sexuality is a perversion, especially when directed at young people, said Pope Benedict XVI.
In a message released for the 41st World Communications Day, to be observed May 20, the pope called upon media leaders, parents, Catholic parishes and schools to work to expose children to what is “aesthetically and morally excellent” and to help them acquire “skills of discernment.”

Gratuitous sex in the mass media is to be avoided because it constitutes temptation in Lust for all those who view/listen/read such material.

i don't understand the premise of your question. do you mean, what is the official position of the Catholic Church about the current smut taking place as entertainment i can say it is saddened that companies would choose to merchant such wares, and even sadder that there seems to be a great market for such vulgarity, but in the end, it is the individual who must makle a moral choice as what they will watch.

No sex in mass, that's pretty standard Catholic theology.
