They couldn't exactly show sex on screen the way some streaming services do.

I wonder if they could have, but just chose not to. Famously, the pilot included full frontal nudity because the network pressured them into it, then nothing like that ever happened again in the show because the producers didn't want it. I wouldn't be surprised if the network would have loved for them to include a sex scene with Teal'c, but that the producers simply didn't want to.

The show started on Showtime. It moved to Sci-Fi I think after season 3, so by then they really couldn't. There's also one or two "bullshit"s earlier on.

Stargate Universe was also Sci-Fi, but they seemed to have no problems depicting sex in that show. Looking at the other titles on that network's list of programs, there was definitely plenty of sex on that network. I mean, that network had Lexx.

There’s also one or two “bullshit"s earlier on.

The shit I found:

Episode Timestamp Line Note
Within the Serpent's Grasp 28:26 That's bullshit! Now, let him talk to me.
Metamorphosis 0:36 Jonas, you are such a chickenshit. On my version, the "shit" part is pretty covered up by a klaxon blaring, but if I remember correctly, some versions said the word very clearly.
Moebius: Part 2 10:42 Aw, shi-- Some Jaffa flashbang or whatever explodes and cuts him off, but it is clear what the character was attempting to say
Collateral Damage 29:26 Target is destroyed. Oh, shit. In my version, he just sighs. But in one transcript, he says "oh, shit". That may just be a poor fan transcription, though
The Ark of Truth 53:43 Oh, shit Cameron clearly says this, granted this is a straight-to-DVD film, not an episode that aired on Sci-Fi
Continuum 26:10 Oh, shit Daniel clearly says this, granted this is a straight-to-DVD film, not an episode that aired on Sci-Fi
Continuum 37:37 Who would make this shit up? Daniel clearly says this, granted this is a straight-to-DVD film, not an episode that aired on Sci-Fi
Tracker 8:47 Oh, shit! He sort of cuts himself off as he runs away, but he clearly did say it. The subtitles also have the word in full.

Zelenka also uses Czech phrases that often involve vulgar words that effectively translate to "shit". A Russian soldier in "The Tomb" also says something that the subtitles translate to "holy shit".

It is my understanding that they did try to put Carter in custom skimpier uniforms. You can get away with that setting your sci-fi in the 23rd century but not the present-day USAF, so Amanda Tapping got regulation uniforms. The least accurate part of her ensemble was the FN P90. They tried sexing her up on occasion but it never really works.

Right around the time Paramount hired Jeri Ryan, the Sci-Fi network had a brilliant idea: You know who doesn't have to conform to USAF uniform regulations? The Tok'ra! Enter Vanessa Angel in a grey vinyl halter top.
