When it comes to what my 11 year old daughter watches on tv, I get very conservative and I do not let her watch kissing and bed scenes. I would rather that she watches old movies from the 50's because the movies before were more wholesome and didn't have bed scenes unlike the movies now that it always involves bed scenes. I do not let her watch MTV either because the videos nowadays are not as wholesome and fun as the 80's, the videos nowadays make the women look sluty and some have bed scenes.
What are your views as a Parent ? Are you comfortable making your kids watch making out scenes or you are just as uncomfortable as I am ?
I used to keep the remote handy and change the channel as soon as I didn't like what was on --- and it wasn't long before my kids could hold the remote and change the channel instead of me.
It can backfire because it might be a show you're actually watching and something inappropriate shows up and the channel is changed -- but rules are rules.
It can be better if you have kids that like to play video games instead of watching television.
As long as its not porn then I don't see the problem with kids seeing kissing and bed scenes on tv. Its not going to scar them for life or turn them into perverts or sluts. My parents are pretty conservative but even they didn't change the channel if scenes like that came on when I was a kid (though I could tell they felt uncomfortable).

It bothers me not a jot. I see no reason to hide expressions of love from children. Rather I would feel more uncomfortable switching it off every time it happens because this will be a pattern children will pick up on and will give the impression there is somehow something "wrong" with kissing and with love or it is something to be ashamed of.
I am all for protecting the innocence of children - but I do not see ignorance of love and sexuality as being on the list of criteria for doing so. Whether it be expressions of love on television or expressions of love I personally engage in with my own partners.

Just out of curiosity, how do you feel about her seeing violence on TV?
Expressions of love and affection are better than seeing folks shooting each other.

I don't let her watch violent films either. That is why I prefer her watching old movies from the 50's as those movies don't really contain sex nor violence.

I also try to have the remote control with me when we watch a movie. Yes I also change the channel if the scene is not so appropriate for her.
So many shows and darned movies have these scenes that I always feel like we are walking through shark infested waters. We kinda lightheartedly say, "ok scene coming up." My son covers his eyes anyway since he is young and finds it yucky. We are a movie loving family so we have to be careful.
We do watch the ratings and steer away from R rated flicks. In my son's case, we have to be really careful about scary movies or ones with disturbing content versus the kissing stuff. He gets scared vey easily and something too scary can mean a few scary nights for him. He especially hates zombies so the zombie craze is not a good thing for him.
I don't "make" my kids watch kissing and bed scenes.
When they come on, I know that MY reaction is very important. I don't freak out and shriek, "OMG kissing!! Change it, quick!!"
Most of the time the stuff goes over their heads anyway. Remember, adults know what "bed scenes" mean, but they don't always know that "bed scenes" = sex.
Besides, if what she's watching has a lot of intense kissing and bed scenes, perhaps you should reevaluate if she's actually mature enough to watch it in the first place.
People ... in bed! OMG they are insinuating... OMG... SEX! Geez.
