STEAMY STREAMING: SEX SERIES

Masters of Sex, Bonding, Californication + more!

BY: Georgia Davis

We all have a voyeuristic side to us. Why else would we like watching movies and TV shows that feature people having sex? Some of it is hot and heavy, while others show the more realistic side with lots of awkward moments. Either way, we have never been able to stop thinking about these sex series:

THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE MOVIE

Steven Soderburg directs the 2009 cult classic film that gave way to a two-season anthology series of the same name. It’s about a high-end Manhattan call girl and her escapades days before the 2008 presidential election. Any woman that gets paid $2000 an hour is definitely doing something right in bed.

BONDING

The new Netflix Original follows the life of a grad student dominatrix who is just trying to make some good cash. She enlists her cute guy friend to help out and fulfill people’s wildest fantasies. Why is is called bonding? Well, because it happens in more ways than one as the friends become closer to each other. Oh, and people get tied up.

ASK DR. RUTH

Dr. Ruth became famous overnight with her candid approach to sex therapy. She is a Holocaust survivor with a thick German accent, so really all of the components were there for success. Hulu released a documentary diving into her accomplishments. Maybe you’ll get a few tips from it too.

CALIFORNICATION

Showtime brings all the hard-hitting shows — and we don’t mean hard-hitting in the traditional sense. Californication follows the life of a washed-up writer having a midlife crisis. He has to balance his failing writing career, his ex-wife and raising his daughter all while having sex with beautiful women half his age.

MASTERS OF SEX

Imagine taking a very scientific approach to sex by studying how long it takes someone to orgasm and what that looks like. That’s what doctors at the beginning of the sexual revolution in Masters of Sex did, and it even helped them get laid. Maybe there are some science-based aspects to sex we can all learn.
