I know it's the Daily Mail, and as such should be ignored, but really?!


OBSCENE!!


Now unlike most Daily Mail readers I actually bothered to watch this show and I was fairly impressed. It wasn't a dry, turgid medical show and that's a good thing. It was entertaining without being titilating. At no point did it descend into pornography. Yes, the women presenting it is attractive - good. Who wants to imagine ugly people bumping "uglies"?! Her "tantric" sex was conducted fully clothed. If that turns you on - god knows what olympic wrestling does for you. If you want children to be interested you have to make it fun. Not naughty and embaressing.


And yes it was on at 8pm before the watershed but again with good reason - any later and some of the kids this should be targeting will be going to bed. In a country with the highest rate of teeneage pregnancies in Europe we're still getting our knickers in a twist over a limp cock on tv? Pur-lease. The fact that they couldn't even show sex in it's biological sense without resorting to cartoons shows how far behind as a country with some ridiculous puritan hangovers.


Pictures of women's breasts on a4 paper were as close as we got to explicit.


Please, people, whoever you are that "flooded" the OfCom switchboard to complain....grow up.

My 14 year old daughter watched this - I caught the last 10 minutes or so and watched it with her when I got home that night.


From what I saw, I thought it was brilliant. Teenagers are bombarded with unrealistic role models; to see what 'normal' penises and breasts looked like was very reassuring.


Also, she was shocked by the statistics of unprotected sex. I didn't see that bit, but it seems to reinforce the importance of using condoms that I have tried to instil in her. [Obviously she will remain a maiden until her wedding night, (can't have too many chastity belts) but just in case!]

I can't believe I'm going to do this... but I have to stick up for the DM and say that the they have simply reported the fact that people complained to Ofcom. I can't see the Daily mail expressing any of their views in this particular article. Have the Independant or Guardian written similiar artciles today?


I watched the programme and thought it was brilliant. And I might have, at the grand age of 35 and not having lead a sheltered life actually learnt something too. I just can't imagine having seen a programme like this 20 years ago on any channel at any time let alone before the watershed.


Well done Channel 4!!!! I'm V+ ing the series now for sure.


For those that missed it you can watch it on the C4 website..

I've just watched it to see what I missed the first time round. My only concern (regarding waxed pudenda) was picked up on the show by a psychologist which I thought gave it balance.


I still think it's very good, have no qualms about my daughter having seen it and in fact think it would be instructive for everyone who has/wants an active sex life to watch it.

really benjaminty? Every single line drips with smug "don't blame us we are just reporting" and no mention is made of the calls recived by the same bodies to congratulate C4. Or indeed what any positives might have come out from such a programme


Also, mentioning Mediawatch and what they have to say, without reporting their agaenda (MAry Whitehouse's ex mob) is a bit sly on their part as well


Finally, to give credence to James on another thread, they report future shows as about "pregnancy, homosexuality and abortion" - which makes them sound like "problems"

I watched it online the other night. A real hoot. That Anna Richardson is one game lass. I too thought it informative and amusing in its own frothy, flirty, tabloid way. Some intriguing facts and opinions mixed in with some over-excited giblets of mis-information, I mean are they absolutley sure about those figures for the numbers of people who trim down there? What did they say 95% of women have a Brazilian and the other 5% a Hollywood. Who they kidding? And the number of guys they claimed wax. Surely not.

Top moment had to be dearest Anna's exclamation when it dawned on her, as she had her virgin Hollywood, that the waxing mistress was about to get extra personal. "...what, inside?"

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
