Sex in Afrikaans

Made in South Africa

Are Afrikaans people really conservative when it comes to sex? Through candid interviews with couples, singles and people in the sex industry, this show explores what's acceptable and what's taboo after dark.

Want to know the truth about what goes on behind closed doors in the Afrikaans community? This eye-opening Showmax Original documentary goes where no series has gone before, uncovering the truth about the passions and the proclivities of Afrikaners.

Launching on Showmax on Valentine’s Day, 14 February 2022, Sex in Afrikaans features clinical psychologist Bradley R Daniels as he helps four Afrikaans couples and two singles to have shameless discussions about their sex lives for the first time publicly - and, in the process, discover that there is so much more fun to be had!

Featuring interviews with sex workers, adult shop owners, a unicorn, swingers, dominatrixes, a crossdresser, a dungeon master, people who dress up like babies, and others who prefer full-body latex suits, Sex in Afrikaans will be an eye-opening tour of what your neighbours and co-workers get up to after dark.

Review: Sex in Afrikaans
It's an incredibly brave show, and the amount of people willing to show their face on it proves how long overdue an honest conversation around Afrikaners' varied sexual identities has been. [...] I expect it will receive a lot of backlash from the very people it's trying to help, but it would be all worth it if it just helps one person feel less alone and like an alien in their own community.

New Afrikaans sex show sizzles
When other people talk about sex, it makes from great television. Throw in a bit of nudity, some controversy and confession and it's a recipe for ratings. The new Showmax hosted show Sex in Afrikaans serves up voyeurism on a silver platter, and it's delicious.
