Episode 6: The Future
A three course meal that comes in a pill, jetpacks, time travel, space colonies, and the robot housemaid – these were just some of the predictions futurists made about what life would be like in 2011.
YOUR SAY: What does the future hold when it comes to sex?
Episode 5: Love
Sex existed long before the idea of love but somewhere along the annals of history the two became entwined. Many humans then started selecting their partners based on this emotion.

Episode 4: The Church

YOUR SAY: With the advent of sexually liberated religious

this herald the end of organised religion as we know it?
Episode 3: Fashion

YOUR SAY: What role do you think fashion plays in sex?

changed over the past 50 years?
