Les Principes du plaisir

What's not to love about pleasure? Informative and funny. Real women, giving their perspectives. Do we know some of this already? Sure. But considering how women's health is so grossly under-researched, it needs this spotlight.

Some will take every opportunity to yuck all over this yum, and for them I say: your mom and your sisters, your aunties and your grandma love sex. Get over it!

A great idea for a show, but so much misinformation. There was also too much emphasis on being victimized, and could have used more clarification on the main topics that were just brushed over.

I was surprised to see the low rating but then I read some reviews. Well, what can I say? The show is great, it speaks to all kinds of women of very different backgrounds and I felt very understood in many ways. It's a real opening-eye documentary about women's sexuality but men can (and should) also learn a lot with it. But I guess a bunch of conservative people didn't like it? Well, to bad for you.

This limited series was wonderful. It was informative and expansive. Modern and progressive.

It's narrative ranges from doctors that study sexology to women from all walks of life talking about their personal experiences. I feel that most people will finish this series and learn at least one new fact or receive a new perspective!

I've read other reviews and felt disappointed. Some individuals don't have the same access to sex education and this is another step to make this information palatable and available.

Also, if something isn't directly relatable to you it doesn't mean it isn't well made.

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.
