What is a Sex Live?

If you’re a fan of horned-up TV, then you’ll love this new show. It promises rippling abs, searing eye contact and multiple people in the throes of passion.

Returning cast members Jonathan Sadowski, Li Jun Li and Amber Goldfarb steam up the trailer, while Sex/Life newcomers Cleo Anthony and Wallis Day also bring it home. Adam Demos, who plays Billie’s dreamy music producer ex Brad, has previously appeared on Home and Away and in the romcom Falling in Love.

What is it?

A sex live is a business that allows people to watch or participate in a live sex act for a fee. These businesses typically feature models who perform on a stage and can be watched from any location with an internet connection. Some businesses even allow people to interact with the model during the performance through chat.

Among the many shows making waves on the internet is Netflix’s Sex/Life, which is currently Australia’s number one show and is generating plenty of talk about Adam Demos’ nude shower scene (as well as rippling abs and eye contact). But what exactly is it about this new horned-up sex drama that’s getting people so hot and bothered?

It’s day three at sex school and things are getting wilder. Somatic sexologist Morgan takes ZM’s Hayley Sproull for a guided tour of her temple night and it’s an eye-opening experience. There’s earth humping, energetic heart f*cking, genital gazing and group masturbation. Plus, there’s an intriguing revelation about Morgan’s mystery man and Long Schlong Silver makes a decision that could change the course of her stay. Content warning: R18, Language and Sexual Material May Offend. Then again, with the likes of 365 Days and Bridgerton on the rise, perhaps it’s just what we need to turn up the heat in this horned up TV era?

What are the risks?

Just like roller-skating or driving, sex is an activity with both risks and benefits. The risks are largely sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies, as well as the possibility of physical or emotional harm. However, most STIs can be prevented by using condoms and having anal or vaginal sex with a partner that you know and trust.

There are also bodily fluids involved in sexual activity, including blood and semen. It’s also normal to feel wiped out after sex; the body is working hard, and orgasms can be exhausting. It’s important to drink enough water before, during, and after sexual activity.

Finally, men and women with heart problems should check with their doctor before engaging in sexual activity. The intensity, frequency, and duration of sex can affect cardiovascular risk factors for both men and women, so it’s important to consult a health care professional.

The word sex is used to describe a variety of sexual activities, but some people take this too far and engage in risky sexual behavior. Risky sex is more likely to spread STIs and increase the likelihood of unintended pregnancy, which have serious health and economic consequences. It is also associated with heavy episodic drinking, poor mental health, and substance use.
