SHOWMAX TO RELEASE SEX AND PLEASURE' DOCCIE SERIES After the streaming success of the hit series, Sex in Afrikaans, one thing is clear. It's not just Afrikaners that like to pomp.

--

In the latest brand new series, Sex and Pleasure, nothing is taboo. Viewers will get to see what South Africans get up to behind closed doors and everywhere else, too.

The adults-only documentary series is hosted by writer Kim Windvogel and journalist Romantha Botha. It was conceptualised along with director Ayanda Duma, who was also a producer on the South African leg of Planet Sex with Cara Delevigne .

The aim is to invite the whole country, from conservative to highly liberal, to take part in an adult conversation that hasn't been possible until now, Duma explains.

We made this doccie series because we really wanted to know how South Africans, from various intersections, experience and explore sex in their everyday lives, added Botha.

WHAT TO EXPECT In addition to OnlyFans creators, exotic dancers, and couples talking about choking, the trailer features familiar faces like actor Siv Ngesi and Artscape CEO Marlene le Roux, a disability and women's rights activist.

The trailer eve includes the secret to long life: more sex. According to professor Shingai Mutambirwa, if you're over sixty and have sex twice a week rather than twice a month, men increase their life expectancy by six years and women by eight.

The first episode explores sex work, in all its forms. And yes, that includes slay queens, according to some of the interviewees.

Among others, look out for author Jackie Phamotse; public attorney Sanja Bornman and dominatrix Mistress Cleo, owner of Fetish Haven, self-described as the ultimate kink venue .

Interviewees discuss talking dirty in Zulu, race play and age play. Christmas-themed porn, family reactions and the power dynamics of sex work is also discused. They also ask why, if doing the horizontal tango is about giving and receiving, the transactional nature of sex is still a crime in South Africa?

Each subsequent episode will explore tlof tlof in relation to a different topic: parenting, love, drugs, orgasm, disability, age, and spirituality. Look out for appearances from singer Moonchild Sanelly, sexperts like Dr Tlaleng Mofokeng and Dr Mpume Zenda, and publisher Ingrid Jones, among others.

The series premieres on 8 March, with new episodes every Wednesday.
