The Sex Files Season 5, Episode 5: The Love Glove

First Date

One thing everyone can agree on is that first dates are nerve-wracking. And no wonder! From the moment we step into the shower to get ready, we are embarking on a complex mating ritual. It becomes even more complex, and downright scary when it comes to blind dates. In this episode, we follow a man and woman out on blind dates set up by us. They receive no advance coaching and no tips are offered. We then track every step of their dates from picking the right tie, to the goodnight peck on the cheek. Then our ""Date Doctor"", Therapist Rebecca Rosenblat, sits down separately with the two dates and reviews all their hits and misses, offering specific advice before sending them out on a date together. This time when our cameras follow them out for a night on the town they can put their new knowledge into practice. Have they learned anything from their mistakes, or are they too set in their dating ways? You might be surprised.

Sun, Sand and Surf

Sun, sand, surf - and sex. Whether it's students on Spring Break or married couples stealing away for a weekend, everyone knows that getting away from it all is a great time to get closer. But what is it about travel that drives human libido into another time zone? And what makes some travelers take risks they never would at home - like paying for sex? Social science researchers Ed Herold, Eleanor Maticka Tyndale, Jaqueline Sanchez-Taylor and neurobiologist James Pfaus explain why and how humans change the rules of sexual behavior on vacation. But we also hear from vacationers themselves. We head south to see travelers in action: from 20-somethings gone wild, to married couples gone more wild, to Jamaican men who call themselves Beach Boys and make their living selling sex. This is one trip you don't want to miss.

Top Ten Sexual Fantasies

We're going to take a trip back in time way back in time. Think we're a sex-crazed sin-filled society today? We'll show you eye popping, erotic sex that was written about, described and displayed two thousand years before the invention of the Internet. We'll examine the orgies of ancient Rome, the ubiquitous bisexuality in ancient Greece, the sexual innuendo on the tombs of the Egyptians and the birthplace of the Kama Sutra in India. To get a handle on our current sexual obsessions, it wouldn't hurt to ask our ancestors for some help.
