Hello, awkward.
Why isn’t there a word in English to describe when we feel embarrassed for other people? A word like you-barrasssed? Because that’s how we felt about MTV’s new show, Sex...with Mom and Dad.
There are two types of pain while watching this show. There’s the “cover one eye while watching” painful, and there’s the “who talks about backdoor sex with their parents?” painful.
The show airs weeknights at 7 p.m., and stars Loveline’s sex and relationship expert, Dr. Drew. If you’ve watched it, you know that Dr. Drew gives teens and their parents tasks that can be anything from tame (condom shopping) to agonizing (molding peeneys out of clay). All of it is you-miliating
We’re all for sex ed, but sculpting boy parts with your mom? Butt talk with dad?
The always impressive Dr. Drew helps ease the tension, but we can’t buy that the tasks he gives these families are solutions to anything. Really, they’re just first steps for the teens to approach sexual health with more maturity. Unless you're a psych major...SNORE.
Good intention, but we’re calling the show as boring and mortifying. Bortifying?
