WE DID IT!
In less than a week we were able to clear our goal of $10,000. We can't wait to get started!
But we still have more time! So let's make this thing as sexy as possible.
- Stretch Goal #1: $15,000: We'll interview 3 more sexperts and make 1 more animation. Make A Sexplanation as ravishing as possible.

This movie is going to get made and we're forever grateful. Let's change sex education forever!
What is A Sexplanation?![]()
A Sexplanation is a feature-length documentary that will strip down human sexuality from the biological to the sociological, starting with the premise that pleasure is a worthwhile pursuit.
The goals:
- Expose what scientists and educators really know about sex
- Explain how outdated cultural values get in the way of pleasurable sex
- Profile solutions that could make us healthier, happier, and sexier
- ... and present this in a fun, entertaining, engaging way!
A Sexplanation will start shooting this summer. We'll journey through church pews, biology labs, fetish conventions and therapy sessions, investigating the stories of researchers, educators, and sexual pioneers, exploring what makes human sexuality throb, and how we can better understand sex.
The World According to Alex Liu

Frustrated with sex education, Alex Liu took to YouTube
to start doing the job himself. Since 2012, he's created over 30 videos on
sexual health related issues for his YouTube channel The Science of Sin. By combining science, sketch comedy, and a little skin, Alex has amassed an audience of over 11,000 followers. Slate
recently named Science of Sin as one of its "Brilliant Ideas To Fix Science Education”.
Prior to this Alex studied molecular toxicology at UC Berkeley and worked at Genentech, before plunging into journalism school at New York
University's Science, Health, and Environmental Reporting Program (SHERP). Since then he's reported health and
science news at NOVA scienceNOW, CNN
Health, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and San Francisco
NPR station KQED.

How Are We Going to Make This Movie?
![]()
Research for A Sexplanation
started last year, and we’re ready to put the production
into action July 2014. We definitely plan to be the most cost conscious project out there.
The money will go to:
-
Cameraperson
-
Sound technician
-
Editor
-
Animations
-
Travel
Initial line budget: $22,788
Post-production: $5,400
Total Cost: $28,188
If we can get just 500 people to pledge $56, then we could easily fund the film.
The project has already secured support from London-based production and distribution company, Flynn Entertainment, who will co-produce.
