Sexplora Season 3

E1: The Mouth

The mouth fulfills many functions, some of which are vital to our existence, but it is also used for kissing and making love. Lili meets with doctor Tareck Ayad to understand this complex organ. She continues her quest for knowledge with French writer and essayist Alexandre Lacroix, who shares his views on kissing, and with Nicholas Charbonneaux, actor and stage director, who helps Lili as she tries to discover her sexy voice.

E2: Monogamy

Is it today’s culture that makes monogamy such a difficult concept? Or is monogamy simply a social experiment gone wrong? Lili meets with Luc-Alain Giraldeau, a behavioural ecologist and Dean of Science at UQAM, along with Chiara Piazzesi, a sociologist at the UQAM Institute for Research and Feminist Studies. After exploring the theory, Lili goes into the field to discover the fascinating world of unicorns—men and women devoted to helping couples spice up their sex lives.

E3: Sex and Tech

From dating apps and virtual reality to the imminent arrival of robots and connected toys, technology plays a key role in our new sexual reality. Lili heads to France to visit a workshop that makes sex dolls. She speaks with Kathleen Richardson, Professor of Robot Ethics. She also meets a Transhumanist, Yannick Roy, who defends the idea that we all have the right to modify our own bodies by integrating electronic components.

E4: Skin and Sex

It’s curious that in terms of sexuality, we often talk about erogenous zones like the breasts and butt, but we rarely talk about the largest erogenous zone of all: our epidermis. Lili meets with a woman who lost her sight, for whom touch has become a way of interacting with men. She also talks to rejuvenation specialist and massage therapist Melanie Massouty, who helps people that have been sexually abused rediscover their sense of touch.

E5: Fertility

In a time when fertility is declining, is it possible that we will all need help procreating in the near future? Lili interviews leading specialists including William Buckett of the Reproductive Centre at McGill University. She also tests the sperm of one of our team members, meets with a surrogate mother in Mexico, and talks with Véronick Raymond about her many attempts to conceive.

E6: Body Hair

There is nothing more natural than body hair … but us humans don’t always strive for natural! One thing for sure is that our relationship with body hair changes with the times and trends, and shaving and waxing have been common practices since the dawn of time. Lili meets with Maipoils founder Pamela Dumont and history teacher Laurent Turcot. She also talks with a bearded woman, a furry and a bear to discuss their relationship with the fuzz.
