Because of the sexually charges answers of "Family Feud" contestants, viewers are asking the show's producers to change the survey questions.

For instance, when hose Steve Harvey asked this week's contestants to name the first part of a woman's body to touch so she would get in the mood, one replied "the lower front" and then clarified "vagina," reports the New York Daily News.

The male contestant pointed out he did not want to use the word referring to the female genitalia, and Harvey gave him a high-five as sign of approval.

In another episode aired on Sept. 18, Harvey asked contestants to name the last thing that their finger was stuck, another contestant named Kevin replied, "my wife." Harvey laughed and told him, "Kev, I've had a lot of good answers. [That was] my favorite answer of all time." But he added, "Don't do that no more," quotes Fox.

The answer annoyed many fans of the show because of the sexual tones when the program is a family game show with many minor viewers.

But it is a different case for YouTube viewers who appear to be having a good laugh at the answers because video clips of the two episodes got over 1 million hits each.

However, Dan Gainor, vice president of business and culture of Media Research Center noted that the racy replies are indicators that sexual content have become more acceptable on TV. He explains, "Hollywood has so undermined and coarsened our culture, that these answers have become the norm ... Sex acts that many Americans have never even heard of are now typical dialogue."

Harvey became host of "Family Feud" in 2010, and since then the show has overtaken competitors "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune" in terms of ratings.
