Women on Sex was an American talk show, which aired on The Playboy Channel (now Playboy TV) from 1983-1988.[1] It was the first documented American television show to employ an all female production crew, cast, and development team.[1][2][3] At the time, it was one of the most popular shows on the channel, and helped to attract a female subscriber base.[4]
Overview
[edit]The show was based on the idea that "Women talk differently about sex when men aren't around". Consistent with that premise, the show had an all female audience, only women guests, and female cohosts. Men were not even allowed in the studio during taping, which helped to foster the show's "women's locker room style" discussions.[5] Women on Sex featured some of the earliest open discussions about sexual topics broadcast on American TV.[6][3]
Episodes
[edit]Women on Sex was hosted by sociologist Dr. Janet Lever, and Playboy Playmate Vicki McCarty (later replaced by Theresa Crenshaw, M.D.).[7] There were 48 episodes in total.
