Exploring how people born in the 1980s feel about sex

Surfing Tudou we found this video called 《冰度80年代荷尔蒙》. The video shown above is the first part of a documentary made by Kevin Zhang (张侃文), who we gather is a young Shanghainese documentary filmmaker. In this latest film, Zhang talks about sex with the people of his generation -- those born in the 1980s (feel old yet?). In the beginning of the film, the titles tell of how the people born in the 1960s and 1970s each had their own respective notions about sex, and about how different the people born in the 1980s are from their predecessors. In the other sections of the film, the interviewees talk about what positions they like, what their first time was like, comparing cock sizes in (the men's?) bathroom, one-night stands, etc., etc. For what it's worth, it's an interesting glimpse at the mindset of a generation of people (at least in Shanghai), though no one would really mistake it for a good documentary. It seems the film was sponsored by a company called +One or 冰度, which makes condoms that come in cans rather than in boxes. This brand claims to be from Australia, though from our cursory internet searches, we were unable to confirm this. But back to the documentary: There's an interesting motto that runs throughout the films at the end of each section, where you see the sponsor's ad:

天赋人权 享我性爱 Literally, this means "God-given human rights, enjoy sex" or, in our interpretation, "It's my natural right to enjoy the pleasures of sex."

You can watch the entire film, divided into chapters, here.
