Janelle Monáe Narrates New Sex Education Series for Netflix

If you’ve ever wanted Janelle Monáe to talk you through sex, then Netflix has a new series that’s going to be right up your alley.

Sex, Explained is a new docs-series just released on the streaming service and narrated by the “Make Me Feel” singer. It’s meant to be a companion to the awful sex education received in pretty much all American schools, covering basic topics that every teen and young adult starting out on their sexual awakening should know while also diving into more complex subjects like BDSM and orgy fantasies.

The Daily Beast’s review of the show compliments the series’ openness and lack of judgment about the topics being discussed, something it says is due in part to Monáe’s “warm, even voice.”

The release of Sex, Explained comes on the heels of yet another busy year for Monáe. She had a part in the biopic Harriet and voiced a character in Lady & the Tramp alongside Tessa Thompson, and we all were treated to the trailer of the upcoming horror film Antebellum, in which she will star as an author “trapped in a horrifying reality” which seems to mean slipping through time and back to the days of slavery.

Though we have to wait a little longer for Monáe's newer projects -- and we have no idea how long we may be waiting for the follow up to 2018's Dirty Computer -- Sex, Explained is currently available on Netflix for your viewing, um, pleasure.
