Explained: Sex

Agenda heavy, inappropriate "isms," a lot of interviewing the layman and not a lot of actual information.

The fetish episode is cliche and unnecessary, the only worthwhile episode was birth control and it was like an introductory explanation for teen girls.

These episodes are not long enough to tackle the chosen topics and there was very obvious bias in reporting.

I just wanted to see a series about biology on sex. About half the series had some good scientific points, but I found myself rolling my eyes at the other references to clear political biases I'd otherwise not care to hear. I thought it would have more documentary science and less anecdotals but I was wrong. Episode 1&2 are a waste of time. 3&4 were good. 5 was a lot of complaining.

I initially thought this was a season of the Netflix show explained...which is an inferior show by the way...which is probably not a fair thing to say...but it's essentially from the same producers and i assume writers...

This show is great...the narration is good...janelle monae...which sidenote in my own opinion i think is the prettiest name of a person there is...she's good...you want to listen to her...

the other show explained used a different narrator for each episode...which is a good idea as it makes each episode have its own feel and identity...but it opens itself to the shortcomings of one or two narrators ruining it and not being too engaging...

This show gets it right...you find a good narrator...stick with her...her voice is weirdly objective...like the voice over on a proper documentary...she might actually be the best part of the show...

each episode is about an issue that is relevant...it's told from a woman's perspective...which is a good idea...it's sex explained...from the eye of a woman...

there's only like two episodes i didn't really like...the rest were fantastic...

it's a great show...hardly anything not to like...well done very informative...i learnt a few things i had no idea about...it really is the urban legend...edutainment...it did the impossible...

This series uses stats collected from the population as a whole, but then used almost exclusively gay, lesbian, and other alternative lifestyle speakers/experts to discuss those stats. With over half of their "sex scenes" depicting LGBT. Frankly I'm as liberal as they come, but this is how you make something totally non-relatable. Over 90% of the population does not fall into those groups. This was advertised as "sex in the human species" but quickly became all about sex from the perspective of less than 10% of people. That's a different show altogether.

Some of the reviews on here clearly didn't like this series because it didn't fit into there personal ideas or what sex is and isn't. I can tell you that objectively this is an interesting and informative look at sex in modern times. I think whether you like it or not depends entirely on your views on sex and around it. If you are more closed minded, I'd skip this one. If you are interested in the topic and want to learn more, I'd give it a watch.
