Super informative show :)
When I first saw it on Netflix, I was quite intrigued to watch it and I’m really happy that I did. It delved into the AV business, hosting and the sex life in Japan and how different it is to other countries and I found it quite interesting to see how Japanese people talk and feel about sex and relationship compared to other countries.Watching and listening to the people who they interview during the show and how being in the industry affected their lives and how they came into it was interesting.
This show makes me realise that talking about sex and other stuff like that shouldn’t be a taboo thing but should kind of be celebrated because nicely everyone thinks about it and it’s kind of an every day thing.
It’s not a must watch however if you’re interested to watch how sex is compared to other countries, then I would really suggest watching this.

All you need to know about Japan's 'sex culture' (?)
This was a funny documentary and I love how SiKyung and DongYup actually compliments each other in hosting. The comedian and singer balance kind of makes sense here. The way they react to things are also legit so it makes it more realistic.It was fun knowing this kind of different culture where a taboo thing on the rest of the world is just a normal thing in Japan. The sex toys, the whole AV industry, it was all mind-blowing.
Tbh, the real win for me is how this documentary made me laugh a lot. Unlike most documentaries that are too serious, this one is on the lighter side of things.
If you're not too sensitive about adult things, I think this is a fun watch. If you're a conservative type though, you might wanna skip this one or you might end up having your virgin eyes/mind devirginized. Hehe~

Nothing new, but a good place to start
I decided to watch this series because I wanted to understand more about what drives the gender dynamics that I sometimes find quite confronting in Japanese romance dramas. It was only the last episode that began to address that question for me when the hosts chatted with four Japanese people who didn’t have a direct connection to the adult entertainment industry about societal expectations and couple dynamics. I can't say it helped greatly, but it did give me a bit of insight into why Japanese men in these dramas sometimes take the initiative in a forceful way.The first five episodes concentrated on exploring different aspects of the sex industry with the exception of sex workers. If you have watched any documentaries about this topic, or participated in the activities it covers, it is unlikely that you will learn anything new here. But for those who have no knowledge it will serve as a good introduction.
The tone of the series was to break through embarrassment and talk directly about what was on offer. The participants all displayed a professional dignity which created an atmosphere of easiness in which direct questions could be asked and answered openly and frankly. Sung Shin Kyung in particular did a good job of hosting and hit the right note in both his manners and his general demeanour to ease conversations and interactions.
Unfortunately, it did still include the Korean variety show habit of extensive use of overlaid squiggles and emoticons, but if you grit your teeth you can get past them.
What my rating means: 7+ A watchable drama, but nothing exceptional. Good enough to qualify for the race, but finished with the pack. The sort of thing that promises more than it delivers.
