Episode number 11 of Series “Not suitable for adults”.
This episode deals with teenage hetero-sexual behaviour and aims to show the confusion teenagers experience in dealing with their sexuality. Through a series of comic sketches, teenagers discuss what parents and society tell them about sex, their sex roles as females and males, self-esteem and body image. There is little information in the program as it is more of an attempt to validate adolescent experiences rather than providing any answers.
