    Funny, but thats the reality...!

    Such documentaries can happen only in India where everything that is not within the moral compass is seen as a taboo. Glad, the documentary captured the views of such people also. Good informative documentary!

    Educate with Humor: Ask the Sexpert

    India is the most populated country in the world, and yet, sex remains a taboo subject in our country. Sex education is not taught anywhere, and people often obtain their knowledge from porn. "Ask the Sexpert," directed by Vaishali Sinha, is a film about Dr. Mahinder Watsa, a sex advice columnist who answers all questions about sex. While I thought it would be more like an educational documentary, it turns out to be humorous and non-judgmental. Despite the humor, there is a loneliness in his life as he lives alone and misses his wife. He even admits that he wasn't a good husband and should have given more time to his wife. This film is never dull, never boring, and you can watch it on YouTube.

    Mahinder Watsa is Awesome

    Ask the Sexpert is an insightful look into sex education (or the lack thereof) in India, and one man's fight to educate people on some of the most basic concepts dealing with sex and human anatomy.

    Mahinder Watsa is the 93 y/o Sexpert who's been educating and counseling on the topic of sex for decades. You'll enjoy his no nonsense, yet comedic approach to educating & coaching, people & couples... young AND old about sex... and their bodies.

    It's hard to believe that so many people fight against promoting basic sex education. As pointed out in the film.... clearly everyone is doing it... how did all those millions of them get here lol... so why is this such a taboo topic?

    While sex education may not be banned EVERYWHERE... many cultures experience the seemingly challenging nature of getting everyone to agree on how/when it should be presented to school aged children... and to what degree... So EVERYONE should be able to relate to this... and enjoy the educational and comedic tone in which it's presented. Mahinder Watsa is awesome... this was a GREAT documentary.

    Brilliant documentary

    I used to read his column when I was a teenage , mainly for amusement purposes and partly I thought that the newspaper was making up stories to sell copies. However, this man deserves an award from our country for his dedication. I supposed he filled a vacuum where sex education was unavailable in India and I suppose he helped conversations regarding gender rights and topics such as marriage and societal norms as well.
