A sexpert says dirty talk in The Idol is "shocking" and not "inclusive" - and people should get consent before using it with their partners. Jodie Slee, 39, said the HBO show uses "fairly explicit" language in sex scenes and claims it doesn't add anything but "shock".
Viewers of the drama starring Lily Rose Depp and The Weeknd were outraged at the derogative language used in the show - with references to suffocation - and some called the sex scene "gross" and "nasty". Jodie would like to see sex normalised in the media as well as "other forms of sex".
She encourages people to "go for" dirty talk if they want to try it but to speak to their partners beforehand to get consent. Jodie, a psychosexual therapist said: "The dirty talk is fairly explicit. It's shock for the sake of shock.
