Sex, Explained (2020) Parents Guide: Is the series OK for kids?

Sexual content is pervasive and central to the series. It features explicit animated depictions of sexual intercourse, masturbation, and various sexual activities. Detailed anatomical diagrams of genitalia are frequently shown. Discussions cover sexual fantasies, attraction, contraception, fertility, and childbirth in an open and scientific manner. While explicit, these are always presented in an educational context without being gratuitous.

Brief animated depictions of internal bodily processes, such as sperm fertilizing an egg, are shown. The process of childbirth is discussed and depicted through animations with some visual intensity, focusing on the physical strain and medical procedures, but it is not graphic in a violent sense.

The series uses moderately strong language, particularly when discussing sexual acts or medical conditions. Terms like "f**k" are used occasionally and conversationally within the context of interviews or discussions related to sex.

There are no instances of recreational drug use or alcohol consumption depicted in this season. The focus remain strictly on scientific, biological, and sociological education regarding human sexuality. As a result, dialogue concerning substance abuse or peer pressure is entirely absent from the episodes.

The series explores adult themes such as sexual identity, gender, reproductive challenges, societal pressures surrounding childbirth, and the emotional and psychological aspects of sexuality. Discussions are mature and often scientific, touching upon sensitive topics related to human biology and social constructs around sex.
