Secret Sex Lives of Australian Women and Secret Sex Lives of Australian Men are a twin-set of documentaries that are provocative, emotional and at times unbelievable. In each of the one-hour programmes, real Australians invite us into their bedrooms for some pillow talk that will make the whitest sheets blush.
With deeply intimate scenes and a gripping exploration of real-life sexuality, all of the stories feature incredibly honest and candid interviews, with experiences ranging from racy to heartbreaking.
Revealing statistics form the backbone of the narrative of each programme. For example, “40% of Australian women use vibrators – double the global figure of 21%”1 introduces someone who enjoys masturbating so much that it’s her main pastime; and “62% of women in their 50s want more sex” introduces a woman who survived advanced cancer and loves group sex. “6% of Australian adults have never had intercourse”3 introduces a 39 year old virgin who wonders how a sex life passed him by; and “20% of gay men have been married or in de facto relationships with women”4 introduces a man who was married for 28 years and still knew he was gay.
Throughout both programmes, commentary is provided by sexuality researcher and author Dr Kath Albury, whose insights provide social and historical context.

I am pleased that people are comfortable with their sexuality. They can express it and nobody should misinterpret it. It's a good initiative by the channel.
Everyone has sex. Good to see common sense about showing a sex "education" series so people can see if they are normal. Things have certainly changed since I was a teenager.
Wow your comment system censors g a y.
Re: Mens show So many 'groups' were skipped..Is it because not many were gutsy enough to be on the show? I also didn't like how there was only 1 gay guy on it. There are a lot of gay guys under 50! But that doesn't mean the person should be 18-20. It would of been better to see more age groups (of both gay and straight guys) Oh well interesting viewing anyway
They were 60 minute documentaries.
Hi I missed this episode, prob cause I dont have Lifestyle channel sadly and couldn't get it in time for the first episode. Is there any way to watch it again or purchase a copy of the episode? Thanks to anyone who can help.

I agree that its good to see it in its full gloury! Im also enjoying the Sex Education show as well. So many health shows you watch blur all the MAIN parts and its like why bother? like bluring a baby being born? Why???? Thanx for a great show and REAL people!!!!
Bravo Lifestyle You channel for producing Secret Sex Lives of Australians. I admit had low expectations before watched tonight's premiere ep, but it blew me away (pardon the pun!). So many 'sex' programs are dummied and watered down to discuss only the basics of sex and relationships, but your innovative, visionary program brought some 'taboo' subjects out in the open in an honest, frank, entertaining and real way. Well done! Can't wait until next week's ep on Men. Like to look and learn! Love Scarlet x
bravo to you Scarlet for being open and i give you lots of respect for that =D xoxo
I wonder which one I am in? Sydneytantra.com
mmmm, I don't know the answer to your question, but know which one I am.....I've worn out 4 vibrators!
