I am an RN with 15 years of experience in the field. I am 41 years old and have been married twice. I thought that I was aware of most physiologic impacts on sex appeal and relationships. I was not. This documentary is very informative and eye opening. If you have ever wondered or guessed at why you are doing something(is it love? is it lust? what is it?) this is the DVD for you. Some months after watching it, my 11 year began to talk about being interested in boys. This video is far from tacky in any way. I put her infront of this, and she came away from that convinced that she needs to show this to the girls in her class. Every man and woman should see this video, and be aware of how much hormones do to our emotions and how we view things and the choices we make, and the evolutionary indications for our actions. If you have anyone who needs the birds and the bees talk, start here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and accurate from the evolutionary perspective

As someone who has done some research using primary sources about sex appeal from an evolutionary approach, I found this video to be remarkably accurate and up to date (when it was made). I really like that it went to significant lengths to discuss the issues with the researchers who have actually done the empirical research. It presented the viewpoint and supporting research in a way that was both interesting and informative. I use it in my undergrad human sexuality course to start discussion about this topic.

It is not really a drawback, but this video really changes course in the last ten minutes. It goes all humanistic to try to make the inherent determinism of the behavior genetics approach a little more palatable for general audiences. It moves from research to philosophy. My classes seem to appreciate that, but it is a switch in direction at the end.

Overall, it is an outstanding effort for something that was created for TV.

I bought this product after having spent more than 200 dollars on a Sony box that makes copies from VHS to DVD that only can be seen using the same instrument.

Honestech records DVDs that I can see everywhere.

I give this product 4 stars. The only thing that keeps me giving 5 stars is because it should work faster. It take too much time to make a copy..

I use this video in my Human Anatomy and Biology classes that I teach at the college where I work. Very informational, entertaining (a big plus for the students), and easy to understand. Uses evidence-based information to show us how our bodies work, and how our brains work to make us attracted to one another. I also really appreciate that this documentary uses biological and social psychology to illustrate attraction. I also took a course from one of the contributing authors on this documentary at ASU, and it is also nice to see a familiar face :)

This was on television a few years ago. Excellent documentary on attraction; nicely done videography with psychologists explaining their research.
The opening scene with the brunette walking down the sidewalk had my heart pumping; my testosterone probably spiked a little.

The "Science of Sex Appeal" answered so many questions about the "why" we chose the partners we do. It's just not a decision to be with someone, it's a "science" that has us couple up. I viewed this dvd 4 times as to really understand. This knowledge that I gained from this piece gives one patience and understanding when it comes to relationships.
