A British reality show premiering this month features real couples having sex on camera while a therapist comments to them on their technique. Channel 4’s Sex Inspectors will be hosted by Tracey Cox, author of the British best-sellers Hot Sex and Supersex. The first episodes have already been taped, and include sequences where Cox helps a man deal with premature ejaculation and shows a woman how to achieve orgasm. “I’m very proud of the fact that this show is educational and informative,” said Julian Bellamy, head of entertainment for Channel 4. “It’s not about titillation. I defy anyone to be turned on.”
