Risque documentaries return to ABC2's Friday schedule from next week.

It was first a programming trend on SBS ONE, playing raunchy, risque documentaries from around the world on Friday nights.
Then ABC2 got into the swing of it for a while.
From next week it resumes the habit once more, kicking off with 40 Year Old Virgins, about two Brits in their 40s who still haven’t done the deed.  Watch out for any docos with the word “Vagina” or “Penis” in the title, they tend to rate pretty well. No idea why.
You have been warned.
Most of us lose our virginity in our teens or early twenties. But for some, problems having sex for the first time overshadow their lives. Clive, aged 45, from Hertfordshire in the UK, and 29-year-old Irish-born Rosie, are both virgins and not through choice. Now they’ve decided it’s time to lose it.
This documentary follows Clive and Rosie as they embark on a radical course of sex therapy in the USA where they work intensively with a therapist and trained and licensed professional sex surrogate partners.
For two weeks, Clive is partnered with the doyenne of sex surrogates Cheryl Cohen Greene, whose life story is told in the Oscar-nominated film The Sessions. Rosie works with Gary Mallinickrodt one of only five male sex surrogates in the US licensed to work with female clients. Over the course of two weeks Clive and Rosie will be helped to overcome their issues around sexual intimacy. But will they ‘finally’ lose it?
9:40pm Friday, 30 August ABC2.

Curious to watch now just to see who the pair in the pic are. Lol!!
I think you’ll find that is a photograph of Cheryl Cohen Greene with Clive.
And Greene is the better part of 70 these days.
Maybe not having sex leads to premature eja- uh, ageing.
Hi David, did you mix up the ages, the male looks a lot younger then the female. Clive 29 Rosie 45.
Hmm, well it’s a pic from the episode. Italics = press release.
It can’t be Rosie in the picture if she’s 29 years old, it’s got to be Cheryl Cohen Greene.
David, is the picture of Clive and Rosie?
It’s from the episode, so yes sir!
