What’s a little glove between friends? As little as a few decades ago there were laws prohibiting the sale of condoms – they had to be sold in paper bags and called cute little things so as not to offend the senses. And way back when, they were organic! Now they come in all shapes, sizes, colours and flavours. Unbeatable in theory – but often misused. Find out what the real skinny on condom mishaps might be attributable to – suffice it to say that most modern condoms might need to come with an operator’s manual. But rest assured, it won’t be as thick as the one that Durex uses at their manufacturing plant in Barcelona. High-tech science helps roll millions of them off the production line every day. But there is a new condom in town ready to take on the status quo – a slightly looser version of the male prophylactic – the female condom, designed with a woman in mind. See how the battle of these sexes measures up. But what exactly are condoms? Where did the idea come from? How do we know they are doing their job? And where exactly do they go when the deed is done? Follow their tale from cradle to grave. This program is recommended for an audience aged 17 and up. May contain information that is considered offensive to some viewers.

We’re going to take a trip back in time way back in time. Think we’re a sex-crazed sin-filled society today? We’ll show you eye popping, erotic sex that was written about, described and displayed two thousand years before the invention of the Internet. We’ll examine the orgies of ancient Rome, the ubiquitous bisexuality in ancient Greece, the sexual innuendo on the tombs of the Egyptians and the birthplace of the Kama Sutra in India. To get a handle on our current sexual obsessions, it wouldn’t hurt to ask our ancestors for some help. This program is recommended for an audience aged 17 and up.

Hearts pounding, muscles throbbing, heavy breathing. On your own, with a partner, maybe 12, on ice, in a boat. Sounds like sex – well not quite. It’s sports. And people do it in almost every park, arena, field and gym at every hour of the day. Laura Robinson knows these feelings well. A national athlete, writer and sports journalist she looks at many heaving bodies across many different sports, and she’s the first to admit that sexual attraction between athletes is as common as a warm-up stretch. It’s all animal instincts, and athletes have unique affairs with sex. Meet some Olympians who talk about the six packs, the skin suits and the heat of competition. But intense training and extended conditioning might be wreaking havoc on an athlete’s sexual health – so what’s the cost? Researchers like Mary Jane De Souza are only beginning to find out. ‘Sports’ is the biggest and most popular form of modern entertainment in North America, but sex and sex issues riddle the lives of our most successful athletes.

Everyone wants good sex. But for people suffering from sexual dysfunction, it’s beyond their reach. One third of men and more than forty percent of women suffer from sexual dysfunction, but what is it? What causes it? And how can science help people like Jeannie Allen, once outgoing and fun loving, now a self-imposed recluse. Jeannie suffers from a disorder that makes her feel like she’s on the verge of an orgasm all day long. We’ll also meet Donald Blair. He’s in his early 20’s and an unlikely candidate for erectile dysfunction. Our camera captures Donald as he goes through a treatment session with sex therapist Marta Helliesen. Marta’s approach is different – no drugs involved. Perhaps Donald’s problem is not physiological at all. Perhaps stress and anxiety are the culprits. But since many many men don’t seek treatment for their sexual ailments, many might never know how simple a cure could be. This program is recommended for an audience aged 17 and up.

Passionate, deep, quick, sloppy and sweet. There isn’t a Hollywood romance that doesn’t have a perfect kiss. But not everyone kisses like stars do on screen.
