The Principles of Pleasure (Season 1)

The Principles of Pleasure (2022) is a documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. Three episodes, three hosts, one subject that science took a surprisingly long time to examine seriously: female sexual pleasure.

Michele Buteau, Supriya Ganesh, and Annie Pisapia bring their own experiences into conversations with neuroscientists, sex therapists, and researchers. Director Niharika Desai keeps the tone frank and accessible — less clinical lecture, more overdue conversation between people who noticed that the standard biology lesson left a lot out.

Informative, direct, and free of the squeamishness that usually surrounds this topic on screen. Stream The Principles of Pleasure (2022) online on iFILM.
