Hypersex

(BBC, 2002)

"Both revelatory and repellent, this was uncomfortable viewing."

 

A personal journey to explore the outer limits of men’s sexuality. The film focuses on the director’s relationship with Paul from Yorkshire, a man treading a fine line between sexual liberation and sex addiction. Paul’s life revolves around sex, from swinger’s clubs and prostitutes to dogging car parks and even relatives. But is Paul a man of our liberated times, or a victim of his own unchecked desires?

“Tackling such subject matter can have programme-makers treading a fine line between serious examination and peep show, but the open, candid treatment made sure we never strayed into the realms of titillation…. Both revelatory and repellent, this was uncomfortable viewing.”  Manchester Evening News

“Fascinating.” Time Out
