The Sex Files

As the Sex Files wagon waves goodbye for the last time, we take a somewhat lighthearted look at what goes into the making of this show. We'll talk to, well, ourselves, about the ups and downs of making The Sex Files. Infamous stories, the ""workshops"" we've shot, the secrets we've learned etc. Viewers get a never before seen look behind the scenes to glimpse at what really goes into those nude shoots. What's the best and worst part about working on a show like this and why will none of us ever forget it?

Do ground rhinoceros horns make you randy? If it's possible, modern day neurology can help explain such wild desires…to an extent.

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. Click on the title for a look at buffing up for the big event...

About the condom

The production of hot content for television, radio, film and the internet is lucrative business - even the 'News' goes naked these days. Lily Kwan is a serious journalist, and her newscasts are most certainly revealing. Lucas Tyler isn't about to shy away from tough subjects, he gets down to the bare facts. Both are part of a news production group, which sends their hard news around the globe, by experienced hosts dressed down with nothing on. But they aren't in the porn business they say, they are in the news business. Media expert Jean Kilbourne has a lot to say about that. Looking at subliminal and not so subliminal messages has been her life's work. But naked news isn't the only thing that has got Kilbourne steamed, lots of internet entrepreneurs want a piece of that action. Meet Elsa Bangz - internet porn star and classical music student? She has no issues baring her side of things and how she does what she can to sauce things up on the web, without regrets. You feel it, you see it, and then you want it, the way they have it. But Kilbourne says you can't ever get it like that.

One thing everyone can agree on is that first dates are nerve-wracking. And no wonder! From the moment we step into the shower to get ready, we are embarking on a complex mating ritual. It becomes even more complex, and downright scary when it comes to blind dates. In this episode, we follow a man and woman out on blind dates set up by us. They receive no advance coaching and no tips are offered. We then track every step of their dates from picking the right tie, to the goodnight peck on the cheek. Then our ""Date Doctor"", Therapist Rebecca Rosenblat, sits down separately with the two dates and reviews all their hits and misses, offering specific advice before sending them out on a date together. This time when our cameras follow them out for a night on the town they can put their new knowledge into practice. Have they learned anything from their mistakes, or are they too set in their dating ways? You might be surprised.

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.
