In Sex Box couples had sex in a specially constructed box in a TV studio, then emerged to talk about what happened and their sex lives more generally with agony aunt Mariella Frostrup and a panel of experts - Phillip Hodson, Tracey Cox and Dan Savage. The programme provoked controversy and debate in both the British and international press though several reviews of the programme were positive, praising the sincerity of the programme's aims. According to The Times: 'If you put aside your preconceptions, ignore the surrounding brouhaha and watch this programme with an open mind, it becomes difficult to criticise and impossible to condemn'. Sex Box has been syndicated to several territories, including America where it was broadcast in 2015 on WE tv channel. A new UK series of Sex Box on Channel 4, presented by the Belgian psychologist Goedele Liekens, was announced in October 2015. ClearStory’s corporate work includes the viral short #Connect for Durex. A Webby and DMA awards nominee, the official version scored over 37 million hits worldwide. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ClearStory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
