Sex, Love & goop - Science(ish)

Sex, Love & Goop is a reality show from Netflix where Gwyneth Paltrow is the host. It involves couples with sexual issues and sexual therapists of many kinds and different techniques to help them.

Is this a weird reality show about sex? Well, yes and no. The sexual component is vital for the show, but, in the end, it is about relationships and connections.

I wouldn't say that it is a show for everyone; not all people are used to talk about sex and pleasure in such an open way. Yet, if you keep your mind open, you can learn a thing or two.

The couples

The couples they present us in the show are very normal - whatever 'normal' means. They are like you and me, and their problems are common and easy to relate to.

One of the things I thought was very positive in the show is the fact that they gather very different couples - different ages, stages in life, or sexual orientation. So it can give you some different perspectives.

I think those couples were brave to take part in such a thing - I would never.

Therapies

I didn't recognize those therapies as scientific - which doesn't mean that they couldn't be. Yet, some techniques made me suspicious. I definitely can't understand the family stories one. Those people impersonating the client's relatives is really weird. I mean, I don't know, it just doesn't look very real.

Yet, my opinion on this is the same I have with many other alternative therapies I'm very suspicious about - if it helps, then it is okay.

Yay or Nay?

Would I recommend this show? Well, if you're curious and have some spare time… why not? It is pretty weird, but it gives you some insights if you are able to separate the crap from the good advice.

Obviously, this is an opinion, but I saw many things there that felt like a cult to me. You may feel different. And again, if it helps…

In the end, the conclusion has nothing to do with sex - it is all about communication.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.
