Come and celebrate the launch of SexTistics, the new documentary series pulling back to sheets to find out what really happens in Australia’s bedrooms.
Join the mum-and-daughter duo Dr Esmé Louise James (Kinky History) and Dr Susan James for an exclusive advance screening of episodes, explosive conversation, and some more secret surprises…
SexTistics is a cheeky, data-driven deep dive into modern sex lives — where numbers meet naughty, and nothing is off-limits. Combining their respective knowledge of mathematics and human sexual history, Susan and Esmé are on a mission to explore our intimate life, helping to erase the taboo which still exists around such important information.
Built on survey responses from more than 11,000 people worldwide, with questions crowdsourced directly from Esmé’s audience, SexTistics answers what people actually want to know. Each episode unpacks a different theme — from kinks to consent, marriage to masturbation — challenging taboos, busting myths, and showing that sex is messy, funny, vulnerable, and deeply human.
This documentary series has been proudly supported by Screen Australia and Vic Screen.
Season 2 is officially in the works!
SexTistics is a mini documentary series that uses statistics to create a snapshot – past and present – of gender, sexuality and identity within Australia. Mother and daughter academic duo Dr Susan James and Esmé James, who will write, direct and produce the series together, are ready to embark on a journey few have conquered before. Combining their respective knowledge of mathematics and human sexual history, Susan and Esmé are on a mission to explore intimate life within Australian society, helping to erase the taboo which still exists around such important information.
SexTistics has been the recipient of Screen Australia's 2021 Every Voice initiative (in partnership with TikTok Australia and the Australian Government).
This series was long-listed for Best Digital Series at the 2022 AACTA Awards.
