Our Sex Lives in the Spotlight …

The private life of the nation is laid bare in two ground-breaking debate specials – THE SEX LIFE OF US – screening on Māori Television on Wednesday March 21 and 28 at 8.30 PM.

Hosted by comedian Mike King and presenter Stacey Morrison, THE SEX LIFE OF US is based on the results of an all-new in-depth survey of 1000 New Zealanders, of which 40 per cent are Māori.

Questions range from ‘when did you lose your virginity?’ and ‘what do you prefer - a good laugh or good sex?’ to issues such as pressure to have sex, infidelity, prostitution, sex education and sexual health.

It also covers topics like why we have sex, how often, what we like and dislike, and what we would really like to do!

The results of the survey, conducted by internationally-recognised research company TNS, are compared in three ways – by age groups, men and women, and Māori and non-Māori.

Māori Television’s general manager of programming Larry Parr says the decision to screen THE SEX LIFE OF US was made after careful consideration by the channel.

“We felt all New Zealanders, and Māori in particular, are often reluctant to discuss sex and sexuality,” Parr says. “This in turn can lead to social and health issues which were confirmed to a large extent by the results of the survey.

“By screening THE SEX LIFE OF US, we hope to go some way towards addressing these issues by opening the subject up for discussion.”

The two-part special also features candid interviews with a variety of New Zealanders ranging from prostitutes to pensioners, views from an in-studio panel of experts and discussion with the studio audience.

Find out what really goes on beneath the bed sheets of Aotearoa when THE SEX LIFE OF US screens on Māori Television on Wednesday March 21 and 28 at 8.30 PM.
