Sex scenes
This tv show keeps you very intertained. It throws your emotions all over the place from being extremely happy to mad or sad in an instant. You wont want to stop watching. It is a mixture of old values being brought forth and conformity. I do not recommend people who have PTSD with rape involved because it might trigger something. The Sex scenes don't show much as well as very little nudity. Overall I do recommend this tv show.

I found this book really hard to read, probably because I was so disgusted by what the main character felt was important to do before she died. Amongst these insipid tasks were things like trying drugs and having sex, which probably weren't the best ideas considering her condition. I know most teens would probably say they wouldn't want to die a virgin, but even if you're dying having sex with a guy you just met is wrong. Usually I try to finish what I started just for the heck of it, but this book was just too painful to finish.

FINALLY! You get to know how most of the story wraps up. Do you get everything squared away? Nope. Do I care? Nope. Why? Because the grotty unrealistic sex scenes are back again! ahhhhh what a way to ruin this!
If anyone wants to re-write this series with better sex scenes (less the ohhh baby) or just to remove them completely then let me know and I will be happy to read them. Until then, I have enough to meet my curiosity of how this turns out and therefore will not be revisiting this series or the author!

Herc is the story of Hercules told by the people who knew him. I really enjoyed this style of storytelling, it seemed more personal, and unlike the traditional myths, we could see how Hercules actions impacted on those around him, and those he loved.

This isn’t a story for the faint-hearted. It’s graphic both in violence (he was a violent man) and sex (who liked sex). Also, it would probably help if you knew the story of Hercules before starting this. It can dart around a bit from person to person.

Recommended for the Greek mythology fans 🙋🏼‍♀️

Severely underrated low budget English horror/thriller! Taking a very modern turn on the horror theme and tackling some very taboo ideas as a group of youngsters decide to live it up on holiday losing all their inhibitions as they drink, take drugs and have sex. During which a sex myth tried out leads to one of them dying. As the others battle their own conscience and morals as well as each other to get out of the mess they are in, only ending up in more extreme violence. A good idea for a film that dares to be different. Some may be put off by the sex scene which borders on porn and by the violence. However it does raise some good issues to make a graphic film. Another good entry in recent English horror films. The DVD has quite a few interviews with the cast, director both after and during the making of. Along with some deleted scenes and commentaries.

So I chose Lady Chatterley's Lover by Mr D.H Lawrence. Lady Chatterley's lover was a book created by Lawrence created in 1928. He had the book published privately in Italy and France but boy did he kick up a fuss. The book was subsequently banned in the UK, Australia, Canada, the US and India. There were outcries of the lewd nature of the book, the frank talk about sex and intimacy and extra-marital affairs. In 1960, a trial was held in the UK and the book was released from its ban.

While reading this, I tried to understand why this book was considered so obscene. I mean we have 50 shades of grey which didn't have any fingers pointed at it and that book discusses more unique sex forms. This book discussed pure 'vanilla' sex between a man and a woman. So what was the issue?
