| Nowadays, $8.00 a month gives you free reign to explore, via instant stream on PC, game console, or TV, all that Netflix has deemed devalued enough to give away for one low cost. When you're all caught up with whatever TV mini-series has currently got you by the balls, maybe stimulate your brain with one of these low-budget documentaries… | |

Kim Cattrall: Sexual Intelligence
(TV 2005)
MA. 82 min. (Watch on Netflix) (Check Out The Book) I never watched a single episode of “Sex & The City” so I had no idea how annoying Kim Cattrall could possibly be. If you can’t stomach her pseudo-sexy over-acting, or have no desire to explore such social taboos like penises, vulvas, orgasms, masturbation, fantasies, fetishes, casual intercourse, etcetera, just don’t watch this. On the other hand, if you’re preparing a birds/bees speech for your pre-teen child, this film could be an inspirational jumping-off point. Interviews with professionals in the field of medicine and psychology, along with its use of historic landmarks, art and mythology references move the film along with a surprisingly sterile tone. |

Naked Ambition: An R Rated
Look at an X Rated Industry (2009) R 81 min. Directed by Michael Grecco (www.nakedambition.com) (Watch On Netflix) The film I judged to be the least entertaining was somehow the most enjoyable, by far. I wouldn’t go recommending it to everyone, but to someone who loves glamour, photography, platform shoes, alternative subculture, or just plain old porn, I’d say, jump in! Grecco’s main goal was to show a more human aspect of some of the fantasy characters that make up the American porn industry. By the end of the film, you find yourself evaluating it’s evolution, attaching some kind of validity to it (whether or not you yourself participate), and |
| letting go of some fierce judgments,
all while rooting for your personal favorite “New AVN Starlet.” No doubt there’s some ugliness behind the scenes of a porn set, but the glimpse you get here is just loaded with eye candy!!! As with the first two I watched, this film reflected the social values and norms of its time quite reasonably. Also, seeing Larry Flynt speak just one sentence brought me to tears for a second. |

Heavy Petting (1989) R.
74 min. (www.heavypetting.com) (Watch on Netflix) To watch this film is like to sit around your parents’ living room while all your aunts and uncles reminisce about their most intimate and awkward make-out experiences. Turn off the lights, and pair that with endless clips of the actual black & white, reel to reel projection sex-ed movies your parents watched in school, and this simile becomes very literal. You can watch this detailed look at sex in the nuclear age of America and then THANK GOD (or whomever) that we now have the collective consciousness of the internet to teach us about something so diverse and intricate as human sexuality. Oh yeah, and David Byrne is in this. |
