YNOT EUROPE – We should have seen this one coming. Reality TV shows abound about almost everything: cooking, singing, dancing, surviving…. Have television producers finally run out of ideas? The newest reality show will be about sex!

The queen of reality TV programming, Ana Rosa Quintana, has been handed the reins of the project, entitled Academia del Sexo. Television network Cuatro says the program will help competitors and viewers alike improve their sex lives by exploring “practical tactics” for lovemaking. Eight couples with sexual problems will face off during the show’s first season, and presumably the winner will be the couple with the most improved sex life at the end. “Teachers” include a presenter and a sexologist who will provide lessons about a broad variety of sexuality topics.

Students will be required to practice between classes and undergo “progress assessments.” There also will be a “final exam,” and we can’t wait to see what form that takes.

The Spanish program is based on the Danish hit Sex Academy produced by Banijay Group. Perhaps the trend will spread worldwide….
