English term or phrase: exuding frank unabashed sexuality

Looking good in our time, is more about exuding frank unabashed sexuality than pertness, but with that exception, every one of these subjects is easily inside June Cleaver territory.

Importance and Relationships of the Characters

The Cleaver Family

The program, Leave It to Beaver, revolved around the trials and tribulations of raising a family. The Cleaver's were a middle-class nuclear family residing somewhere in middle America, in the mythical town of Mayfield. Each episode had a message for both parents and children and was designed to promote understanding between adults and adolescents. Parents learned both parenting techniques and how they, as role models, were perceived by their children. Youngsters learned important moral messages and how to interpret and live up to the actions of their parents.

Beaver Cleaver was the main character around whom the series revolved. The program generally depicted Beaver in the midst of some situation in which he learned an important moral lesson, or gained insight into how his actions affected others.

Wally Cleaver was Beaver's older brother. In some instances the programs revolved around a problem encountered by Wally from which Beaver would also learn. As a general rule, however, Wally acted both as a role model, and as a facilitator between Beaver and his parents. He generally reinforced, or explained, Ward and June's reactions to Beaver's problems (and sometimes, vice versa).

June Cleaver was wife and mother. She was generally depicted in a domestic setting (preparing meals, or doing housework) although she was also active in the community either with her women's club, or with the PTA. She was a kind and understanding parent who often mediated between her husband and children.
