Intimacy<\/b><\/h2><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The true beauty of this show, and what kept me coming back for more, is the emphasis on prioritizing pleasure. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Melanie Rose continually stresses the importance of creating a space where sexuality, sensuality, and intimacy are the focus and are free to be explored.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most of the couples on the show revealed that intimacy and sex had become less important or nonexistent in their relationships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The couples ask Melanie to help them build a sex room because they want to work on their sex lives and make it a priority again. Melanie not only encourages them to focus on intimacy but also creates beautiful spaces where that can happen. One couple even tearfully thanked her at the end for saving their marriage. This stresses just how vital sex and intimacy can be in relationships and the value of nourishing them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing a show telling its audience of millions, \u201cHey! Prioritize your pleasure!\u201d is truly refreshing. That\u2019s a big plus for How To Build a Sex Room in my book.<\/span><\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2><b>\ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffd <\/b><b>Features a Diverse Cast\u00a0<\/b><\/h2><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This show gave us lots of representation and visibility which was amazing to see! Among the design client guests were a polyamorous family, a queer couple, a gay couple, a Black couple, an interracial couple, a lesbian couple, and a single woman in her fifties.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Seeing such a variety of relationship types, curiosities, and humans helps viewers feel more connected to the show and to the guest&#8217;s experiences. This highlights the vital message that pleasure, intimacy, and sexuality are for everyone and anyone.<\/span><\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2><b>\ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffd <\/b><b>Kinks &amp; Fetishes in the Spotlight<\/b><\/h2><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Build a Sex Room focused on often stigmatized kinks including watersports, voyeurism, power exchange, impact, electric play, sadomasochism, and shibari.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Featuring individuals with a true love for BDSM helps normalize desires many people secretly have but feel are too taboo to talk about. It put a huge smile on my face seeing a woman on the show speak openly about her love for golden showers and getting messy. Her sex room even had a drain in the floor so she could continue exploring this kink! <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those curious about taboo kinks, the open-mindedness in this series may be the gentle push they need to overcome sexual shame and start exploring.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an educator, it warmed my heart to see this kinky representation knowing it will reach those scared to try new things due to stigma.

Viewers got to experience a variety of rooms and spaces for many different types of couples and their interests. I really loved that they found such a diverse range of people, sexual interests, preferences, and fantasies. Everyone\u2019s story was uniquely their own. Sexuality truly is a big spectrum; it\u2019s unique from person to person and relationship to relationship. Seeing that portrayed on the big screen was great!<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Melanie showed us that no matter your sexual interests, preferences, or fantasies \u2013 from vanilla to kinky, you deserve a sex room. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6b4df0 e-container--column e-container\" data-id=\"b6b4df0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-280cf9e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"280cf9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\"For those curious about taboo kinks, the open-mindedness in this series may be the gentle push they need to overcome sexual shame and start exploring.\"<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf50550 e-container--column e-container\" data-id=\"bf50550\" data-element_type=\"container\">\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7d3e81 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"e7d3e81\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CfsnyHFLd70\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

I talked about some of the show\u2019s misses in this recent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cgh-lGduY3B\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that sparked a great discussion in the comments. Here are some of the things I would have like to see How To Build a Sex Room do better:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\udc4e\ud83c\udffd<\/span><b>Lacks Consent Conversations<\/b><\/h2><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of my largest critiques of the show was the lack of consent conversations on screen. We didn\u2019t see enough with the couples themselves, between Melanie and the couples, or between Melanie and her contractor, Mike. Consent is one of the largest pillars in the kink community and disregarding it while continually pushing kink was very disheartening to see.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it has been confirmed by couples from the show (in my comments section on my Instagram post!) that there were full sessions on consent and communication that didn\u2019t make the final cut, I still wish we saw some of it.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I know that \u201cconsent conversations\u201d aren\u2019t the sexy content Netflix wants to put on screen. As a kink educator, however, I feel it\u2019s an indiscretion for there to be absolutely no examples of in-depth consent negotiations when putting BDSM on mainstream television.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We even see an overall lack of consent when Melanie interacts with the couples and the contractor. For \u201cshock value\u201d, Melanie pulls out toys from her goody bag, usually starting with a crop and usually smacking it on her hand or on the couple&#8217;s hand \u2013 without the couple\u2019s consent most of the time. Melanie also \u201cplays\u201d around with the contractor and the toys they bought for the couples without consent from him.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e18b941 e-container--column e-container\" data-id=\"e18b941\" data-element_type=\"container\">\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56590db elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"56590db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cgh-lGduY3B\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

They can cause pain, injury, and nerve damage. There were also a few times that the show designed the room for suspension bondage using hard points. The practice was encouraged by Melanie with no mention of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theduchy.com\/suspension\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">serious dangers of suspension bondage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the skill required to do this kind of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/zippermagazine.com\/consensual-non-consent-cnc-rape-fantasy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">edge play<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> safely.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am a believer that due to the lack of accessible BDSM education, people will take crumbs of kink they see in the media and go from there. If they see metal handcuffs endorsed, they will buy metal handcuffs. If they see suspension on a hard point, they will try it. Being more intentional about what was encouraged and how it was portrayed would have made a big difference<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the eyes of this educator!<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\udc4e\ud83c\udffd <\/span><b>Pushes Kink Too Much<\/b><\/h2><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is no big surprise that sex (and kink) sells. Netflix knew what they were doing when they put kink front and center, for better or for worse. Kink is not for everyone and that\u2019s okay, but the show and designs still encouraged kink play for every couple. Oftentimes there is the idea that \u201cspicing\u201d up your relationship <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has to<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> involve kink and How To Build a Sex Room fell right into that narrative.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before designing the rooms, Melanie would often ask the couples what they were or weren\u2019t interested in and then would pull out her goody bag of kinks to gauge the couple\u2019s interest. On paper, this is a great idea \u2013 but more often than not kink was heavily pushed on to the couples, even if they had no interest at all. In one episode, a couple clearly stated they were not kinky and did not want a kinky room. Their room was still equipped with floggers, paddles, gag, blindfolds, and handcuffs in the final reveal. In another episode, the man clearly stated he had no interest in handcuffs and in the reveal. His room had handcuffs in them. Disregarding the couples\u2019 very clear lack of interest in kink but still giving them kink toys was not only a miss, it also calls consent into question.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2><b>What\u2019s Next?<\/b><\/h2><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Build a Sex Room wasn\u2019t meant to be a kink education show but even so, I am hoping for better in this area if and when season two drops. I hope we continue to see even more of the positives plus a few improvements \u2013 better coverage of key educational topics, consent conversations, and more intentionality overall.
