Has anyone seen this before? Sex Box. It's interesting to see what people are willing to watch for entertainment, and at the same time, how little people know about sexual interactions and ways in which we can work towards ameliorating our sexual relationships. I'm torn with this show because on one hand I am happy to see that people are finally coming out and talking about their sexual problems and providing some psychoeducation and normalization; and on the other hand I'm nervous about false information being portrayed and/or people getting the wrong messages about this due to the (lets be honest) TERRIBLE delivery of sex therapy. Have sex in a box while we all wait outside patiently? really?! I feel so badly for the couples who earnestly were seeking out help on this show and who may have damaged their relationships even further by pushing in a direction that was maladaptive, or not a solution to their problems. Although I am sure there are exceptions, it appears to me that so often sexual problems arise from non sexual stressors/barriers that will not be solved by "trying harder" while your oxytocin levels are high.
