From the Emmy Award winning PBS Nature Series
The Nature of Sex is like nothing ever attempted before - a six part epic look at the world of sex. As seen on Nature, television's most acclaimed natural history series, The Nature of Sex tours the exotic and mysterious realm of animal and human sexuality, presenting a stunning panorama of sexual diversity, desire, and display. For more than two years, a team of cameramen traveled the globe filming courtship displays and fights for dominance, the choosing of partners, mating, birthing and caring for the young. The images are spectacular and the stories are often bizarre enough for tabloid headlines. Throughout the six shows, intimate insights are presented that trace the roots of human sexuality from its earliest beginnings.
A Time and Place captures the sometimes strange, often delightful story of Earth's creatures as they respond to the sexual urges triggered by the cycles of nature. Males fight for breeding rights; male weaver birds, hoping to impress a potential mate, build a mansion of twigs; humpback whales call to females with a song that can be heard a thousand miles away. And for such behavior as the body painting and ritualized dance of tribal cultures to the lipstick, eye-liner and fashion "look" of Western culture, insights are offered into the mating signals exhibited by humans heeding the same call.
