Look beyond the name (which sounds like a spam email subject line), watch an episode or two, and you'll discover The Midwest Teen Sex Show is the most honest, funny, and accessible program about sexuality available. Rather than cloaking their discussion of sex and relationships in a confusing mess of cutesy words or accurate (but clinical) terminology, MTSS presents a short (5-6 minutes each) episode on a single topic through a mix of factual and genuine explanations from Nikol Hasler and hilarious sketches featuring Britney Barber and a cast of talented actors playing a wide variety of roles.

A huge part of the show's hook is its complete lack of prudishness. Episodes have dealt with topics ranging from birth control to STDs, first times, homosexuality, and how to cope with a break-up. While the subject matter is often sexual, it's never being shown to arouse the audience. The cast walks a fine line between funny and sexy but stays focused on the concept that MTSS is a not a show promoting teen sex, it's a show promoting a discussion of teen sex.

The Midwest Teen Sex Show should be required watching for anyone old enough to have questions about sex (you know who you are.) You'll get answers to things that you were too embarrassed to ask and you might even learn how to explain some of them to your mom and dad (in case they need some answers too.)
