Advice on Sex and Sexuality - MTSS

The Midwest Teen Sex Show            http://midwestteensexshow.com/

This video podcast is a frank and funny look at all aspects of sex with an approach that is skewed towards all teens, not just those in the Midwest. Each five to ten minute episode deals with a specific topic and believe me, MTSS gets around. If there is some angle to be explored on sexuality, sexual practices, sexual behavior, you name it, it’s all here. And if it’s not, I am sure they will get to it shortly.

There are two principals in every show. First there is Nikol Hassler, who serves as host, narrator, voice of reason and occasional extra in that week’s skits. The facts about a particular topic (Breasts, Homosexuality, Breakups, Virginity) are illustrated by a series of sketches and asides starring Britney Barber who has a chameleon like ability to play an intriguing range of characters. The characters are usually engaging in behavior that MTSS would like to focus on as inappropriate for the topic of the week (unprotected sex, sex for the wrong reasons, etc.). That sounds a little dry but it certainly is not presented that way. Not to compare MTSS’ humor with a particular comedian (comedienne) or show, just think Funny on a cable network without a lot of restrictions. In fact, I would not be surprised if these two did not pop up in something else

And while their approach may occasionally be zany, their avowed purpose is not. The Midwest Teen Sex Show wants to provide a forum for young people to get practical answers on sexual matters. MTSS is well written and informative (kudos also to the third wheel, Guy Clark). Nikol strikes the right note as a person who can give advice and keep confidences as well. This is a vital quality to have on a show that deals with sensitive subjects every week.

So please try The Midwest Teen Sex Show. I know I became a dedicated viewer when I saw the episode titled “Older Boyfriends”. MTSS advised “Don’t have one”. Simple, straight forward, good advice.
