A Netflix special about sex-positivity might be the most cringe-inducing thing it has ever unleashed

In the newspaper racket, changes in reader behaviour were noted during the past year when COVID-19 kept people isolated and away from others in the workplace and wherever people congregate to gossip, swap stories and blather away.

There was an uptick in readership for advice columns. Makes sense. Deprived of gossip and other people’s news, big or small, readers devoured columns that advised people what to do about nosy neighbours, partners who declined to shower or suspicions that friends were having a secret fling and ignoring pandemic safety regulations to get their kicks. Listen, I even read some of that stuff, too. A certain serious newspaper upped the ante with increasingly lurid crises to be solved.

The idea, it is alleged, was to be educational but funny. Wonder how others have sex and do it well – cisgender, transgender, straight and all those who are under the LGBTQ+ banner? All the info is here. Talking heads and comedians talk about it and the puppets enact it. Don’t be embarrassed, is the message. Great, but the puppets appear to be on such a drug-crazed high that they squeal like sea lions and you get the feeling you’re watching an episode ofcreated by Satan’s minions.

How to review this thing? I was thinking about that. What came to mind, for some reason, was the late Bernard Levin’s pithy review of a production of? I was becoming unhinged, obviously. So I tried to concentrate on the gaggle of comedians who offered anecdotes about their sex life. Two of them are vaguely familiar. Canadian-born Mae Martin says some sensible things about being in the right mood for sexy time.

People, what you do in your private life is no concern of mine. Nor should it be Netflix’s concern. There are many helpful sources of information for those who are curious, worried or unsure. There are online columns and forums written by kind and helpful people. There are podcasts. There are advice columns in newspapers, from the lurid to the dry and clinical. Television isn’t the place to get what you need. Let us never speak ofPlan your screen time with the weekly What to Watch newsletter.
