The Principles of Pleasure

Most of these horrible reviews are coming from guys who cannot watch a female centric show without pulling their hair out. Ignore the negative reviews and see this for yourself.

What would happen if we all made respectful, pleasurable and consensual love in this world, instead of war?

My husband and I sat and watched the three episodes together, and absolutely loved it. We both grew up in cultures that were highly restrictive, and mentally and emotionally unhealthy.

I have often said, "If I could change one thing on this planet it would be to eradicate erroneous thinking about religion." To which I now add, ditto for sex. I didn't realize how widespread the negativity is about women's sexuality. Seems to be a literal undercurrent on this planet that infects pretty much everybody, at birth.

The information provided is very basic and yet the guests are extremely ignorant to the point where it feels satirical. "what is a vulva? Is it the hamburger bits?"

It's weirdly reductive and judgemental. We figured out objective physics before subjective sex biology - why is that so surprising? Is understanding minor orgasm details as important as Newtonian physics? A lot of anti-science talk in favor of politics.

The structure of the show is very flat. They present some basic information and more niche information at the same presentation level.

So, it's a constant battle between "this is so cringey and borderline stupid" to "oh that's pretty cool".

This would have been great few decades back. I give it benefit of a doubt maybe it's intended for some conservative countries which I can appreciate, but for developed world in 2022, unfortunately, it's more cringey than educational or entertaining.

Nothing remotely about pleasure here.

You could use this instead of a cold shower or to put someone off pleasure for life.

Ideological manure.

After watching this I am stopping our Netflix Subscription. The content is so poor.

I was surprised to see the low rating but then I read some reviews. Well, what can I say? The show is great, it speaks to all kinds of women of very different backgrounds and I felt very understood in many ways. It's a real opening-eye documentary about women's sexuality but men can (and should) also learn a lot with it. But I guess a bunch of conservative people didn't like it? Well, to bad for you.
