✨ Sex ✨ It’s taboo, it’s romantic, it’s uncomfortable, but it’s there. Capturing the essence of sexual intimacy in college (in a non-cringey way) is a daunting feat, but HBO Max’s new series The Sex Lives of College Girls does just that. From Mindy Kaling, the show combines witty humor with downright relatable characters to demonstrate how college is a time for falling in love, making mistakes, and trying new things.
The heartfelt series revolves around the lives of four female college freshmen brought together by fate. While their strikingly different personalities seem at odds, the group comes to learn and grow as an unlikely team. The Sex Lives of College Girls reminds us that everyone’s first year of college is a balance between handling new responsibilities while still being young and a little reckless.
Kaling’s experience crafting next-level humor for comedies like Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Pineapple Express is on full display in this new HBO series. The comedy in The Sex Lives of College Girls uses brutal honesty to unabashedly explore all the most awkward topics from virginity to hand-jobs. The show provides a safe space for young adults to relate, learn, and laugh about sex.
Even better, the series is bringing its sex-positive message to the UC Berkeley campus. HBO Max is celebrating The Sex Lives of College Girls with an on-campus pop-up spotlighting partners across wellness and personal care. Be sure to stop by the plaza between Wheeler and Dwinelle on November 18 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to check it out!
If you need a good laugh and a relatable take on the ups and downs of college sex life, be sure to watch The Sex Lives of College Girls, streaming Thursdays on HBO Max.
