The above dude was right....there was a previous thread. Unfortunately it has such a silly and vague title that not everyone will immediately be able to figure out it is dedicated to the Jessica Jones series. So I will post this new bit of information here in this more aptly titled thread.
Those of you who have complained about the lack of explicit sex scenes between white women and black men on TV and in film will be interested in this report from Shadow and Act. It appears the first episode of the show was screened at the New York Comic Con and here is an interesting writeup of some of what the people saw.

Much more recently, over the past weekend, at the New York Comic Con, Mike Colter shared more in an interview with ComicBook.com. "I can tell you what they've allowed me to, which is basically, Luke Cage will take place a few months after Jessica Jones... So in real time, if you watch 'Jessica Jones,' you’ll find Luke Cage uptown in Harlem, working, trying to make ends meet. Luke Cage really hasn’t figured out what he’s doing. He's tending bar, he's bouncing around. And for good reason, he's a fugitive, he has some skeletons in his closet... He's trying to basically stay off the radar. The people he hangs around with, though, are in need. Ultimately, he'd rather be alone, but with the way he's equipped he does step up. That's what it’s about, it's about finding that inner feeling to make you want to take action. Sometimes we just sit around, and sit on our hands and don't do anything because it’s like 'Hey, that's not my problem.' You can’t do that when you're a superhero. You have these gifts, now use them."
And finally, also at New York Comic Con, the first episode was screened for fans, and, by all accounts, it was a massive hit. Vulture summarized the episode, applauding its "shockingly and refreshingly honest" depiction of sex and sexuality, compared to the rest of Marvel's cinematic and televised released. Specifically, here's a piece of the write-up: "But y'know what's delightfully unsubtle? The sex scene that will have everyone's eyebrows on the ceiling once it hits Netflix in November. The episode introduces us to Mike Colter's Luke Cage, a beefy superhuman (though he's not yet revealed as such) who will soon star in his own Netflix series. In a sequence lifted more or less directly from the comics series Jessica Jones is based on, a depressed Jessica finds Luke at the bar he runs and confidently hits on him. He's coy at first, accusing her of flirting with him, but Jessica says she doesn't flirt: she just gets what she wants. "What do you want?" Luke asks. Smash cut to Luke on top of Jessica in his bed, going at it with a sexual fury unlike anything Marvel (or DC, for that matter) has even come close to putting on screen. She eggs him on, and when he warns her that she might not be able to take it, she insists she can. At that point, he flips her over and starts taking her from behind while the camera focuses on her impassioned face. It's a scene where Jessica is in total control of her sexuality. Whatever her reason may be for banging Luke, she's doing it on her terms. It's the way real-life grown-ups have sex, not the way neutered TV superheroes do. The audience at Comic Con seemed to simultaneously clutch its pearls and lean forward in titillated fascination."
