This Louis Theroux-produced series kicks off with a look at people who livestream their sex lives. But despite baring all online, they’re not given the opportunity to open up
Nikita and Sam started as friends. Forced to live together in lockdown, they started having sex with each other to earn money online. “Then feelings just hit and we fell in love.” Now they have joint and individual cam sites and have sex both on camera for “more than a few thousand pounds a month” and off it for fun – although the line between the two seems pleasantly porous.
They are one of three couples interviewed in Sex Actually With Alice Levine (Channel 4), a new series executive-produced by Louis Theroux. It offers a delicate yet probing look at the evolution of social mores and the collapsing distinction between the sacred and the profane under the pressure of technology that invites us to consider ourselves no more than fodder for its insatiable maw.
