Yeah, you're half right about the gawking. I think, by it's nature, the people who funded the shows were like "let's film some freaks" and the people watching the shows were like "let's gawk at some freaks"
HOWEVER, I remember the shows themselves being pretty respectful to the subject matter.
See I hate that, the idea that some slimy fucker thought to bankroll... basically a cringetopia/kinkshaming type television program? Suspect. I suppose long before the 'net though, if the shows themselves were solid about it then they would have served pretty well.
Yeah, I mean, it was pretty dire. People older than me literally learned it from porn mags that they had to steal and hide. I imagine that was worse.
I got super lucky and had the most goated sex ed teachers in middle school. You could legit ask them anything about sex, and they would answer.
sex
One time a kid asked her what cum tasted like, and she legit described it to the class. Can you imagine having the guts to describe that to a room full of middle schoolers?
Woah that is hardcore as hell. Shouts to the kid for having the gut to ask too, lmao. I would have never asked teachers anything about sex, my mind pre-baptised with cursed shit beyond their comprehension
One of those episodes (the sex therapist having the husband slow down and caress his wife all over her body) was practically a vaccine for all the toxic sex messaging I had as a kid. I'm really grateful for that :)

Baby Ashina: so what do you think of forcefem mindbreak inflation petplay?
Based teacher: Actually, Ashina, the history of that subculture goes back to...
Baby Ashina:
That would be based, except at that age I had no idea what forcefem even was
You'd be surprised at some of the cursed things she knows lmao Then again I've seen some shit myself
I learned a lot from that show as a teenager. A lot more than from porno mags, sex ed, or skinamax soft porn.
Yeah, I think they were a net positive
