Remember Otis Milburn’s mother, Jean Milburn, from Sex Education? She was this badass sex educator who broke all the taboos! Well, Netflix has this show called Doctor Climax, where Doctor Climax, whose real name is Doctor Nat, is just like her, but I would say he is even more daring and brave! After all, he was all about normalizing questions about intimacy and pleasure, especially in the 1970s when no one dared to talk about that stuff! But Doctor Nat faced a ton of consequences for being so open. Professional trouble? Yes, he had it, but that was nothing compared to the drama in his personal life! His wife, Tukta, and his love interest, Linda, gave him more headaches than any job could! And he could have fixed it all only if he was a bit more honest. Anyway, now, how did he handle it all? That’s the juicy part!

Tukta, the wife of the famous Doctor Climax, isn’t so famous herself. Calling her even well-known would be an exaggeration, as she’s hidden away, never acknowledged by Doctor Nat. He keeps their marriage a secret by denying Tukta the recognition she deserves as his wife. Gullible Tukta remains unaware of Doctor Nat’s double life as the renowned Doctor Climax. She doesn’t know about his affair with this other woman, one of his colleagues, Linda. Despite this, Tukta continues to be a devoted wife, as her mother taught her to be. However, this devotion leads to nothing but resentment, lying, and cheating. Tukta starts to realize that being a trophy wife is purposeless. She understands that she should seek her own happiness, apart from that of Doctor Nat, because this pretentious, supposedly perfect marriage won’t fulfill her.

Doctor Climax on Netflix is a bold show, really informative, and packed with drama. It’s all about this guy, Doctor Nat, or Doctor Climax, as everyone calls him. He’s not afraid to talk about bedroom stuff, which was a big deal in conservative Thailand back in the late 1970s. But of course, stirring things up like this gets him in trouble.

He’s married to Tukta, but then there’s Linda at work, whom he starts falling for.

Even though we call ourselves modern people, we’re still pretty shy about talking openly about self-pleasure, intimacy, and all those hush-hush topics. It’s almost like these things are forbidden, even though we take pride in saying our society has changed and become more accepting. So, imagine how things were back in the 1970s! Talking about these matters back then was even more taboo. People felt ashamed, hid their true identities, and avoided discussing their problems because they feared judgment. And it wasn’t just single folks—married people felt the same way about contraception or seeking advice. But in the middle of all this, there was one doctor and writer who stood out in Thailand—Doctor Nat, famously known as Doctor Climax. He became a guiding light in the dark for many. However, you can imagine how being so bold and talking openly about such sensitive issues in...

But the country was not always so open to such matters, and its society also needed a sexual revolution in the 1970s in order for the taboos to be removed. The new Netflix comedy drama series Doctor Climax focuses on this very phenomenon, presenting the fictional story of a dermatologist with a specialization in venereal diseases, Nat Muangnon, who takes on the role of a adult columnist. His willingness to help people accept and discuss matters of intimacy as normally as they should is what drives this narrative forward, although Nat ultimately dreams of becoming a novelist. But a number of challenges come his way, both social and personal, which Nat struggles with throughout this eight-episode-long series, and overall,...
