If you’ve ever wanted Janelle Monáe to talk dirty to you, then your wish is about to come true. The triple threat — singer, actress, dancer — is here to be your hot teacher and instruct on all things sex. It’s not your typical health course, but you’re likely to learn just as much from the sultry seductress in Netflix’s new docuseries, Sex, Explained.

The series comes from a collaboration between Vox media and Netflix and lends an informative, entertaining tone to the ins and outs of sex. Sex, Explained will explore the sexual fantasies that have crossed our minds once or twice (or a hundred times), like threesomes and leather or experimenting with toys and BDSM. Then, it will break down attraction and what causes those sensations you feel in, ahem, particular parts of your body. But, it’s not just about the physicality of sex. The docuseries will dive into fertility and how men’s sperm count is half of what it was years ago (watch the trailer above for that interesting stat). Birth control and childbirth will also be covered, including those sometimes awful side effects of the pill or an IUD.

If you think you know everything about sex, you’ll likely find something new in Sex, Explained. And if you are not an expert, don’t be embarrassed. You can watch the series to learn how sex affects your everyday life. PROVOKR welcomes you to live in this sex-positive world with us.
