Shimotori Ichito is a sex therapist at Shimotori Clinic, and every day, he sees patients facing intimate issues they can’t talk about with anyone else. Ignoring the ridicule and prejudice he receives for his chosen profession, he treats each patient with utmost sincerity and respect. But little do the people around him know that he hides an anxiety of his own.

Reviews
Honest and Respectful
To be honest, as someone retired, who has been involved in the counseling field, I had my doubts for a short time, that this would be another drama that would hype up the sensationalism and make a mockery out of the professional aspect and of the issues themselves.First of all, I remembered that this exceptionally versatile performer, Nakajima Kento, has always been intelligent, insightful, perceptive, dedicated to being the best version of himself, honored his craft and his fanbase. So before even viewing this, I already knew he would bring intelligence, respect, honesty, sensitivity, warmth, and the best version of himself to this role. Nakajima accomplished that, and much more.
This was no easy feat, especially in a culture where sex, intimacy is taboo, and seeking help, is also not approached, so I have the deepest respect and admiration for the thoughtful, respectful writing, the whole production team, the professional consultants involved, direction, and the extraordinary performances of every single actor who bravely took on this project and gave it their all.
Nakajima Kento, as always, didn't disappoint, as this multi-talented wonder does not in the projects he tackles.
Bravo everyone!

"When it comes to sex, no one can be sure about it"
This was really an excellent and well-made series. It's sad that even to this day sex is considered something "taboo" and not many people are comfortable talking about it, and the ones that are open about it are mostly shamed for it.As the title suggests they tackle concerns people may face around sex, and how nice it would be for sex therapy to be accessible for us to be able to speak about these concerns without fearing to be laughed at.
Also we get to see how women are expected to especially be secretive about their sexual desires and not to comfortablely speak up about the harassment they face everyday because of their gender.
If I had to nitpick I'd say it would've been really nice to have asexual and LGBTQ+ representation, but that's just my wishful thought.
Overall, I do recommend watching this for educational purpose, and understanding some new perspectives. The romance is also decent and they look great together so makes this even more enjoyable.
Do not expect completely realistic therapy sessions though.
