The first three episodes of “The Pleasure is Mine” have debuted on YouTube, marking the rollout of a new docuseries from K-Y, a brand committed to fostering healthy, positive and constructive discussions around female sexual pleasure. Union’s Karen Kourtessis edited episodes one (“Sex Ed: the Missing Chapter”) and two (“The Effect of Culture on Sex”); Union partner/editor Sloane Klevin cut episode three (“Our Sexual Well-Being”). Created via Havas NY, and directed by Amy Berg of Lauren Greenfield-led Girl Culture Films, “The Pleasure is Mine” strives to “empower women to speak up in the bedroom, encourage them to get what they want and remind people that her pleasure should be everyone’s pleasure.” The series starts the conversation with real women talking candidly about their complex relationships with sex and pleasure.
