El sexo, en pocas palabras

These felt like Buzzfeed videos in that you spend the majority of the time watching inexpensive graphics and hearing opinions of regular people, and the actual science and information is maybe 2-3 minutes tops of a 17-minute video. The first 4 minutes there was zero information and having to watch cheap graphics you would expect in an old video you see in high school health class. And what little science they give you a lot of it is just clips from old articles from the 2000s and '90s. The episodes seem more like a something an intern wrote out and then assembled a bunch of clips together, then hire a celebrity to narrate, and interview a few experts (though, we don't actually know if they're actually experts) for brief clips.

I suppose I'm not surprised to see Vox in the title, as I'm assuming their the producers. So, Buzzfeed wannabes? I've never been particularly impressed with Vox's writing and have learned to just avoid any articles by them as I find they tend to by heavily skewed towards the writer's personal opinions and very light on actual facts. They once had an article that was later removed promoting why we should be benevolent toward child predators. I mean, who signed off on that?

Vox trying to be an educational tool is kind of like Buzzfeed trying to be news, mostly a waste. It wasn't even entertaining and I certainly didn't learn anything new. It's more like they tried to build a show around a smidgen of information so they could make money off of it. Much better off watching something from National Geographic, Discovery, Science Channel, Smithsonian, etc.

Only episode #3 is really good and episode #4 is OK I guess, the rest are trash however... They in-fact explained VERY LITTLE about the actual act of sexual intercourse, and more about the feelings and personal experiences of various people, which is completely opposite of what I expected this series to be, and honestly I don't care about random people's personal anecdotes... overall, it's a series that I regret spending my own time watching, and Netflix should be ashamed.

I found it informative, found myself learning new things, even for someone with a Bachelor in Sciences, and think it's important for the youth of America to watch these few episodes, especially with the current state of affair of education in this country.

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.

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.
