I initially thought this was a season of the Netflix show explained...which is an inferior show by the way...which is probably not a fair thing to say...but it's essentially from the same producers and i assume writers...
This show is great...the narration is good...janelle monae...which sidenote in my own opinion i think is the prettiest name of a person there is...she's good...you want to listen to her...
the other show explained used a different narrator for each episode...which is a good idea as it makes each episode have its own feel and identity...but it opens itself to the shortcomings of one or two narrators ruining it and not being too engaging...
This show gets it right...you find a good narrator...stick with her...her voice is weirdly objective...like the voice over on a proper documentary...she might actually be the best part of the show...
each episode is about an issue that is relevant...it's told from a woman's perspective...which is a good idea...it's sex explained...from the eye of a woman...
there's only like two episodes i didn't really like...the rest were fantastic...
it's a great show...hardly anything not to like...well done very informative...i learnt a few things i had no idea about...it really is the urban legend...edutainment...it did the impossible...

Probably one of the best documentary series I've watched with lost of information that I was not aware of. Might appeal more to women and less to men but I also think some parts of it are very useful to know by men as well. I truly hope this will reach as many girls and women as possible as I truly appreciate the note of encouragement and empowerment to make your own choices about your body and it did offer some interesting information to start researching if interested.
Agenda heavy, inappropriate "isms," a lot of interviewing the layman and not a lot of actual information.
The fetish episode is cliche and unnecessary, the only worthwhile episode was birth control and it was like an introductory explanation for teen girls.
These episodes are not long enough to tackle the chosen topics and there was very obvious bias in reporting.

Only episode #3 is really good and episode #4 is OK I guess, the rest are trash however... They in-fact explained VERY LITTLE about the actual act of sexual intercourse, and more about the feelings and personal experiences of various people, which is completely opposite of what I expected this series to be, and honestly I don't care about random people's personal anecdotes... overall, it's a series that I regret spending my own time watching, and Netflix should be ashamed.
This series uses stats collected from the population as a whole, but then used almost exclusively gay, lesbian, and other alternative lifestyle speakers/experts to discuss those stats. With over half of their "sex scenes" depicting LGBT. Frankly I'm as liberal as they come, but this is how you make something totally non-relatable. Over 90% of the population does not fall into those groups. This was advertised as "sex in the human species" but quickly became all about sex from the perspective of less than 10% of people. That's a different show altogether.
