How Sex Changed the World

While flipping around my cable channel guide, I noticed this series airing on a station called, ahem, VICE (I kid you not). Out of salacious curiosity I briefly checked out a couple of episodes. Has a lot of talking head experts (sexperts, I guess) giving cursory historical info about how sex existed during certain historical periods or locales, all the while inter-cutting film clips from old movies (hollywood, foreign, and exploitation), artwork and photographs, and a lot of contemporary photos and film-clips totally anachronistic to the subject.

Like most sex itself, watching an episode of this was interesting for five minutes...Very Interesting for about ten minutes...and then EXTREMELY INTERESTING until about twenty minutes... And then it was just wearisome and blah.

If the film clips utilized had been provided titles instead of remaining anonymous, I might have tuned in for more episodes just to note a few that looked like they might have been a hoot to track down and watch, but no such luck.

3/10.
