Sexplanation, A

A Sexplanation is just your typical queer, Asian American, comedic sex documentary about the unusual search for love, connection and family acceptance. Like many Americans in the 1990s, Alex was taught that the best safe sex practice was abstinence. This tactic worked to suppress his sexuality (even more so because he was gay). Years of repression left him feeling disconnected from his body, his desires and his family. Now in his 30s, Alex decides it's time to turn his years of fear and loathing into something positive and humorous. From neuroscience labs to church pews, A Sexplanation features provocative conversations with psychologists, sex researchers and even a Jesuit priest. With humor and grit, Alex takes audiences on a playful and heartfelt journey from a shame-filled past to a happier, healthier and much sexier future.
