Sextv
SexTV is a Canadian documentary television series that explored a variety of topics related to human sexuality and gender.
It was created by the Canadian media executive Moses Znaimer. It premiered in 1999 and ran for ten seasons, concluding in 2008.
The series aired in Canada on Citytv in a late-night time slot and was produced at the network's Toronto building at 299 Queen Street West. It also aired internationally in syndication.
With the increasing popularity of the television show and the move to digital television, a documentary television channel called SexTV: The Channel was launched in 2001.
The series was described as feminist, ethnographic and part of the sex-positive movement. Over the course of its run, it was acclaimed by critics, and received eight Gemini Award nominations (now called Canadian Screen Awards), winning Best Lifestyle/General Interest Series at the 19th Gemini Awards in 2004.
The series used Leonard Cohen's song, "Ain't No Cure for Love", as its theme music; Cohen and Znaimer were friends.
The series was the first broadcast television program to explore several topics including female masturbation.
