The Principles of Pleasure (2022)

Review by wraptile

The Principles of Pleasure

5/10

A bit amateur and might not be made for the west?

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.
