    Went way too far down the alternative lifestyle road
    This series uses stats collected from the population as a whole, but then used almost exclusively gay, lesbian, and other alternative lifestyle speakers/experts to discuss those stats. With over half of their "sex scenes" depicting LGBT. Frankly I'm as liberal as they come, but this is how you make something totally non-relatable. Over 90% of the population does not fall into those groups. This was advertised as "sex in the human species" but quickly became all about sex from the perspective of less than 10% of people. That's a different show altogether.
