One of the most impressive aspects of Sex and Pleasure is its willingness to delve into controversial topics, while also exploring more conventional themes.

The interviews with OnlyFans creators, exotic dancers and couples talking about choking are sure to grab attention, but the series also features familiar faces such as actor Siv Ngesi and Artscape CEO Marlene le Roux, a disability and women’s rights activist.

In addition, the series offers a unique perspective on the importance of sex education. Many of the interviewees discuss the lack of communication about sex in their families, and how this led them to seek out information from other sources like magazines, porn, books, TV and even graffiti.

The show reminds viewers that if parents don’t talk to their children about sex, someone or something else will.

Each episode of the series offers a thought-provoking exploration of a different aspect of human sexuality, and features a diverse range of South Africans talking openly about their experiences.

This groundbreaking documentary series that challenges traditional views on sexuality, explores controversial topics and reminds us of the importance of sex education is a valuable resource for everyone.

Whether you’re a South African looking to explore your own sexuality or simply curious about the topic, Sex and Pleasure is a must-watch.
