Real Sex

Real Sex was a documentary television series produced by HBO. Real Sex was a sexually explicit "magazine" which "explores sex '90s style." Created by Sheila Nevins and produced by Patti Kaplan, the series was originally meant to be a single 60-minute special about sexuality, largely in response to the cultural attitudes surrounding sex in the wake of the AIDS epidemic of the 1980's. The series was female-run, and segments were largely directed by women.

Real Sex explores human sexuality. Gary R. Edgerton and Jeffrey P. Jones described the fare in The Essential HBO Reader as "a peek into the diversity of sexual activities...with an emphasis that ranges from the unusual to the bizarre." The show typically explores three to four topics each episode. Segments are separated by street interviews with random people, relating to the episode's topics.

In 2018, HBO began removing the show from its streaming services HBO GO and HBO Now, along with similar series Cathouse and Taxicab Confessions making them largely unavailable to the public.

It spawned a spin-off series called Pornucopia.
