This documentary is about the best I've ever seen on the subject of (female) sexuality.
It is too bad that it wasn't created in Canada or the USA. Not that there is any fault in it being produced in France - I'm just saddened that we puritanical North Americans are probably way too uptight to allow production of such an honest and open (and therefore controversial) documentary.
I shudder to think that some would call this controversial. It is simply a frank and accurate edification of the current research about female sexuality - but this openness will surely create enemies towards this candid work because it talks about what most American prudes don't even dare to whisper about.
This documentary is great because it highlights a great deal of new information that I was not even aware of. (I was actively involved in the sexual education field 30 years ago - and I read "The G Spot" by Whipple, Laddas, Perry, etc when it was brand new and still in hard cover - among the 150 books about sexuality that I used to own.) But I must say, our understanding of female sexuality has advanced significantly from my youth. (It's just too bad that I'm getting so old that it isn't as interesting as it once was for me. :) And this documentary does do a good job of talking about more than just the studies that have been done about female physiology.
I think this show does a good job of pointing out how different thinkers over the years have all played a part in creating the view we have of female sexuality. (Such as Freud suggesting that clitoral orgasm was an "immature" form of sexuality, etc.) If you have any interest at all in sex, this documentary will teach you more in one hour than you may have learned from all your friends in the last 20 years.
And I love the message that the writer(s)repeat several times near the end of the show - (essentially) that just because some women have multiple orgasms and some ejaculate - this doesn't mean that the rest of the population should be dissatisfied with their own experience and yearn obsessively for what they have not experienced.
It took me 20 years of having sex to learn to enjoy the PROCESS and not just concentrate on the one SINGLE goal of orgasm.
