Sex is integral to all our lives, it’s one of the
strongest human drives. The majority of people have sex or think about having
sex – often both. But few of us talk about it openly and honestly to those that
matter most: to our partners and to young people. We often find it hard, even
deeply embarrassing, to talk about sex.
Sex Box is a show with a difference; a panel
discussion about the real sex lives of people with one exceptional twist. In a
unique television format inspired by the work of sex researchers, three couples
will do what comes naturally – have sex – and then talk about it afterwards –
whilst the feelings and sensations are still vivid and truthful. They discuss
their experience with the show’s host and a panel of experts in front of a live
studio audience.
But while the talk will be intimate the couples’
love-making will be entirely hidden from view, taking place in a private area
where nobody can see what’s going on – inside the Sex Box.
