'Family Feud' loses family-friendly tag as it resorts to using sex to try and lure viewers

 (Twitter/Family Feud)

The family-friendly game show "Family Feud" is pushing its boundaries by incorporating sexually explicit questions that would inevitably generate sexually explicit answers, probably to get more viewers interested in the show.

FOX 411 reported that for the past two weeks, two clips from the show have gone viral online. Both show new host Steve Harvey and the contestants laughing about sexual innuendos.

In a clip posted on Sept. 18, Harvey asked a contestant to name "the last thing you stuck your finger in." The contestant named Kevin answered: "My wife." Harvey then laughed and told the contestant, "Kev, I've had a lot of good answers. [That was] my favorite answer of all time." But he also warned him, "Don't do that no more."

In another clip posted on Sept. 28, Harvey asked the contestants to "name the first part of a woman you touch to get her in the mood." The question made the contestants uncomfortable, and one tried to answer: "Um, that would be the lower front or the vagina."

The contestant laughed after the answer and quickly added, "I didn't want to say it!" But he received a high-five from Harvey nonetheless.

Both video clips have already received over 800,000 views.

However, TV audiences were not pleased with how "Family Feud" has turned out.

"I think this is one of those questions that the writers of this show were obviously begging for a dirty answer. Come on now, seriously?" someone commented, while another said: "Man this show is really milking the sex thing."

Readers of PEOPLE have decided to stop watching the show in light of the sexually charged jokes being made. "This used to be a good family show. Every question now is phrased so the contestants will say something that is construed as nasty. I hate the show now..." someone wrote.

Another also weighed in: "Stopped watching a long time ago. The questions are too risqué and the answers are sometimes downright vulgar... John O'Hurley was my favorite host and I don't remember the questions and/or answers being raunchy during his time there. Clean it up, Family Feud. You are losing viewers."

When sought for comment, a rep for the production company behind "Family Feud" did not provide any.
