Science, Sex, and the Ladies
Sometimes people send us emails about cool sex-related projects they’re working on. Recently we got one from an independent film troupe in Indiana who are making a documentary about female sexuality. It looks pretty awesome and quite different from most documentaries we’ve seen on the subject, so we thought you might like to see what they’re up to. You can also back them on Kickstarter if the spirit moves you. Here’s what they have to say about the project…
Science Sex and the Ladies is a different kind of non-fiction movie. There are no interviewed talking heads. Instead you will find an ensemble cast, researched arguments, and even a musical number. It is a boisterous, innovative endeavor into a serious subject, and it will move past the status quo to show you female sexuality from a whole new perspective. There are very basic misunderstandings within our society about the female orgasm; specifically why and how it happens on a purely physical level; and this has led to misunderstandings about almost every aspect of female sexuality. As a result, too many women feel disappointed, ashamed, or inadequate when it comes to their sexuality. Too many men are perplexed and often hurt by the sexual relationship they share with the women they love, and too many girls feel confusion and a lack of control over their very real, yet culturally complicated sexual desire. As a society, we can and should do better.
Science Sex and the Ladies digs into existing sexual research and cultural studies on sex; pushing aside lazy incorrect scientific conclusions about the nature of female sex drive and cutting through the layers of mystery and spiritual gobbledygook that unfortunately encompass our societal knowledge of female orgasm. What emerges is a better understanding of female sexuality, female orgasm, and female sex drive; one that is based in solid scientific inquiry, logical arguments, and the reality of the female experience.
And here’s a sweet
trailer for your viewing pleasure.
