Showmax returns to exploring ‘Sex and Pleasure’

Kim Windvogel and journalist Romantha Botha are the hosts of Sex and Pleasure A trailer has dropped for the new queer-affirming adults-only Showmax series Sex and Pleasure which aims to get South Africans talking about sex. “Everyone has sex,” comments Lesego Tlhabi, aka Coconut Kelz, at the start of the trailer for the new 18SNL show, which premieres on 8 March 2023, with new episodes every Wednesday. “Even your most conservative grandmother had eight kids.

So let’s talk about it,” she adds. Sex in Afrikaans was one of the 10 most streamed titles on Showmax in South Africa in 2022, but it’s clearly not just Afrikaners who like to “pomp”.

Hosted by writer Kim Windvogel and journalist Romantha Botha, the documentary series will take a broader view of what South Africans get up to behind closed doors, and, well, everywhere else too. “I’m a sex-positive, curious queer who works in the sexual and reproductive health and rights space,” says Kim. “That’s just feminist talk for believing that people should have access to sexual health information and services.” “We made this doccie series because we really wanted to know how South Africans, from various intersections, experience and explore sex in their everyday lives,” says Romantha.

Kim and Romantha co-wrote and conceptualised Sex and Pleasure with director Ayanda Duma, who was also a producer on the South African leg of Planet Sex with Cara Delevigne, which you can binge on Showmax now.
