Sex a hot topic in print media, radio and television stations
Kontak Harmoni Hemaviton
Screened on RCTI
Time: 10 p.m.
JAKARTA (JP): A woman called talk-show hosts at a TV station
complaining of a sex problem -- she could never have an orgasm.
The hosts, famous sexologist Dr. Naek L. Tobing and actress
Meriem Bellina, smiled meaningfully and tried to encourage the
caller to tell more of her problem.
The caller said she asked her husband to engage in some
foreplay to arouse her sexually.
The woman's husband admitted: "I don't want to do any foreplay
before having sex with my wife."
Dr. Tobing advised the husband to engage in foreplay and
offered several solutions to deal with the woman's sex problem.
Since October, private television station RCTI has been
showing an interactive talk show on sex issues called Kontak
Harmoni Hemaviton, screened every Thursday night.
Sponsored by Hemaviton, which also runs a controversial ad
featuring Meriam Bellina and actress Inneke Koesherawaty about
Inneke's upcoming wedding night, the program attracts quite a lot
of viewers who are curious to know more about sex.
Sex in the media is no longer taboo. Anyone can talk about and
discuss it openly without having to feel embarrassed.
Print and electronic media offer a number of talk shows and
columns discussing various sex issues. Sex has become a hot topic
in local tabloids, weekly magazines, on radio stations, TV
stations and even a number of websites, including women's weekly
magazine Femina, men's magazine Matra, and weekly tabloids Citra
and Bintang. RCTI is not the only electronic media to air a talk
show on sex. Trijaya FM and Elshinta radio stations, and private
TV station ANteve also have sex programs.
Kontak Harmoni deals with an abundances of problems related to
sex, but as the majority of participants are married couples, the
show is probably intended to solve marital sex problems.
Meriam adds a humorous and easy atmosphere to the show. Many
times, callers are too shy to express their feelings and to
honestly tell their problems.
To make the program more interesting, a guest star is invited
on the show.
Dr. Tobing, who married Marion Aritonang in November 1966,
opened the show last week by answering a question from Meriam.
"Doctor, you're looking so energetic and youthful, what is
your recipe?"
Dr. Tobing answered jokingly, "Yes, because I always engage in
foreplay before I make love with my wife."
Solution
In the past, people have found it very hard to get accurate
information on sex.
Kontak Harmoni Hemaviton, provides solutions to many problems
dealing with sex, such as foreplay, premature ejaculation,
impotency, fertility, masturbation, hypersex and many other
subjects.
The hosts seem to try to be balanced and scientific when
explaining a sex issue, yet with the sexy Meriam Bellina as a
host, who could be scientific?
In addition, the show alternately features Dr. Boyke Dian
Nugraha, another noted sexologist, and movie star Inneke
Koesherawaty.
But as Inneke is unmarried, viewers may question her
capability and experience as she seems so eloquent when
explaining sexual issues.
For married couples, especially those who rarely read books
and get information from various sources, this program may be
useful.
If you have problems with your sex life or if you are just
bored with the current news on politics and economics, you can
watch this program to stimulate your mind and to renew your
sexual desire, perhaps. (Sri Ramadani)
