Dying for Sex is an American comedy drama miniseries streaming on Hulu. Created by Kim Rosenstock and Elizabeth Meriwether, it tells the story of a cancer-stricken woman who gets separated from her husband in order to have sex with well over 200 men.
The miniseries has been liked by many (especially critics), but has also been hated for its subject material and themes. "This series tells little girls that being a sexual deviant is FEMALE EMPOWERMENT. The sex portrayed in the series includes: Squeezing her best friend‘s boob for comfort. A marathon masturbation session using MULTIPLE OBJECTS. Online hookups with STRANGERS. BDSM domination of men. Sex with a man who is dressed as a dog. Putting a man’s penis in a restraint and kicking him in the genitals. Peeing on a male partner. And near the end of her life, she has sex in her hospital bed," wrote Byl Holte, giving a description of what has been depicted in the series.
"Critics give it a 96% and call it a brave paean to living life to the fullest. Because a sudden burst of utmost selfishness is that," wrote Daddy Warpig, taking a sarcastic dig.
Dying for Sex doesn't work even as a story. "The reason this series is so repugnant isn't because it's a woman having lots of sex (who cares?) but the way it pointedly celebrates the treating of loved ones as disposable obstacles to personal pleasure, and uses women's 'sexual empowerment' to morally blackmail you into accepting this," remarked Yeerk P.
