Planet Sex with Cara Delevingne

So along comes Cara Delevingne and BOOM makes a splash on Hulu with "Planet Sex".

She blazes a new trail in a really daring venture, that is sure to help out a lot of people. She presents everything in good taste, and shows a very human and sensitive face in her explorations of different aspects of sexuality and cultures and societies of the world. Cara does show different countries and their problems, like the Arab part of the world, as well as different solutions and research in places that are enlightened, like interviews with people, who fled for their lives to Germany, and the important work being done in some German research institutes.

The importance of a program like this cannot be under-estimated, because we have a lot of ignorance and hate around sexuality, gender identity, relationships, personal identity, and pleasure in this world. I really think this should be shown to all kids about to pass into puberty, regardless of what screaming prudes may say!

This series is fantastically informative, and is just a delight to watch, and it may well be for sex, what Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" and its remake by Neil deGrasse Tyson became for astronomy!

In previous decades (a long time ago!), we had Dr. Ruth (Dr. Karola Ruth Westheimer), who talked about sex very openly, but I have not seen her, or anything like her on TV in a LONG time now.

I tried Playboy-TV some years ago, but it was lousy, with lousy wannabe "celebrity" moderators and porn that was so bad, it was plain boring and embarrassing to watch.

"Planet Sex" is certainly nothing like Playboy-TV at all. It is serious, is not porn in the least, and presents information in a very classy way.

Regarding bad critiques, just stuff them! I did read a few nasty comments about "Planet Sex" being boring, and there are oodles of haters of Cara Delevingne, simply because she was born into money. I am not bored at all, because my nerdy brain gets tickled by the presentations of stuff, some of which is new to me as well, like the internal production of cannabinoids during an orgasm, which is a major reason why sex feels good!

So hop on Hulu, or wherever this may be streaming in your country, and watch "Planet Sex". Maybe you can learn something.

I've only watched the first episode -- the one on the "orgasm gap" -- and didn't feel it was worth persevering with this series.

While I appreciate I'm not part of the target demographic, I'm dubious that this will go down well with those who really should lap it up (teenagers, presumably).

Cara Delevingne seems remarkably prudish to be cast in the lead here. And this first episode felt incredibly unstructured and unfocussed. Even someone like Stacey Dooley would probably have done a better job. And perhaps Zara McDermott would have been the best choice, given her experience in documentary film making?

This is a great series and very important. It lifts the lid on a stack of taboos and probably should be required viewing.

Cara is great fun so that even the parts which might make you blush are navigated with ease. I like the way Cara is so relaxed and unassuming in her presentation.

It's very much a documentary of the age. Unthinkable 30, 20, even 10 years ago. Not just the dive into the subject matter but the way it's shot. In terms of the production it's one for the insta generation but in terms of content, it's for everyone.

As an educational tool? Brilliant.

If you're one of those "anti-woke" types still give this a go. It will help you learn and understand.

This is everything you'd expect in a documentary about the sexual subjects that have been historically considered taboo. And Cara at the center of it diving in and experiencing and learning about why these subjects have been labelled as such and how to overcome that stigma in some very interesting forms.

When it comes to this type of show the 2 elements I always look for are first is the show itself interesting? And second is it educational? To me the first part not so much, the second part a little. However I personally have spent a great deal of time researching these subjects for decades before this show was even conceptualized. So the real question becomes would this show appeal to you? For the vast majority, it would definitely be educational, and for a much smaller but still large group of people it would be quite entertaining so yea, for a good group people it would be good.

5/10 for me, I'm thinking more like 7/10 for everyone else. For informational purposes it's a good documentary.

This series is hugely important. It covers topics which lack honest, sex positive mainstream coverage such as female pleasure/orgasms, ethical porn/the issues caused by mainstream stereotypical porn, sexuality, gender, relationships etc. Her honesty is refreshing, although it's sad to hear about the deep rooted shame Cara has regarding sex and sexuality. She seems naive in some ways but given her life it's not really surprising - you can see that she pushes herself out of her comfort zone making this series. Cara only briefly discusses her sexual experiences with men but it's depressing - it's shocking to me, as someone who has always been confident communicating about sex and my needs - and just shows how much these conversations need to be had. I think this should be mandatory viewing for teenagers.

If you're already aware of sex positivity, ethical porn and diversity then it's nothing groundbreaking but the fact that these topics are receiving mainstream attention in such an insightful, positive way is huge.
