As soon as it arrived on the Netflix streaming platform, the Sex Education series shook up the codes of series, making it possible to highlight and explain sexuality. Or rather sexualities, both those of teenagers and their parents, couples, singles, straight, gay, bi, asexual, it doesn’t matter: almost everyone is represented. In effect, every sexuality is different and deserves to be represented, but how better to understand it?
While we are still waiting for season 4 of Sex Education, there are several series that we can binge-watch to better understand the mysteries surrounding sexuality. Because no, sex education courses in college and high school are often very insufficient. So to fill this gap, here ten series to better understand sexuality and everything around it!
8 series to better understand sexuality
Sex Education
Funny and inclusive, the series is aimed primarily at teenagers, while evoking themes that affect all generations. Sexual orientations, fetishisms, anxiety, sexual assault or even masturbation, a whole range of subjects are covered, in which everyone can more or less recognize themselves, find explanations and comfort.
Dirty Lines
Inspired by a true story, this Dutch series traces theinvention and the explosion of the pink telephone in the Netherlands in the 80s. Against a background of house music, we follow the story of the crazy inventors of the pink telephone while following the discoveries of Marly, a rather stuck-up psychology student who is researching female pleasure. Even if all his discoveries are now logically known to everyone, a few booster shots do no harm.
Sexify
On the same principle as Sex Education – or the movie SexAppeal on Disney + – this Polish series follows the stories of Natalia, a virgin student who dreams of winning a prestigious competition and who cseeks to invent a Spotify ass. How ? By creating an algorithm that finds the best combinations so that each woman can reach orgasm, giving indications to her partner as she goes. A bit like, when we listen to a perfect song on Spotify and two, then three of our favorite songs are then chosen by the algorithm. The same thing, but for movements and positions.
Masters of sex
Broadcast between 2013 and 2016, the series retraces the daily lives of William Masters and Virginia Johnson, two researchers pioneering american sexologists in human sexology as well as for the treatment of sexual disorders and dysfunctions. They studied both men’s and women’s sexual behaviors and responses, both with regard to sexual arousal and orgasm.
Grace & Frankie
Launched in 2015 by Marta Kauffman (Friends), this Netflix series stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, playing two women who find themselves on their own when their husbands leave them to live their love in broad daylight. The two women, who live together and learn to live together again, notably embark on a great adventure: they decide to launch a brand of sex toys for senior women suffering from osteoarthritis, since classic sex toys hurt them.
Lovesick
This English series broadcast on Netflix is interested in the not so sexy subject of sexually transmitted diseases. Dylan, the main character, learns that he has chlamydia, an STD, and therefore must recontact all his ex-girlfriends and acquaintances in order to warn them and understand how he caught it – which also allows him to take stock of each of these relationships.
Derry Girls
During the Northern Irish conflict in the 90s, we follow the adventures of four young girls in Derry, Northern Ireland. All four students in a Catholic high school, so they learn about sexuality, love, the opposite sex or homosexuality against a backdrop of religion, civil war, social differences and clash of generations. All this with a biting humor, notably with Nicola Coughlan, who we have since been able to find in The Bridgerton Chronicle.
Nola Darling does as she pleases (She’s Gotta Have It)
Directed by Spike Lee for Netflix, this series features Nola Darling, an African-American artist polyamorous and pansexual who manages three relationships with three different men. Trying to survive in a neighborhood in full gentrification, an attack will push her to question many things.
