Watch The Truth about Female Desire online: Episode 1 How We Work

Channel 4 Science collaborates with the world renowned Kinsey Institute to conduct a groundbreaking investigation into female sexuality. Eight inquisitive young women from all over Britain come together to embark on a journey of sexual self-discovery as their sex lives go under the microscope. Over the course of a week, the women live together and take part in a number of ground breaking experiments under the guidance of Dr John Bancroft, former head of the Kinsey Institute, and several other leading authorities in the field of female sexuality. In this first episode, the emphasis is on genital physiology and arousal, and the women make the astonishing discovery that the clitoris is a massive 9cm long. Two of the girls get to take part in a pioneering experiment to capture the first ever internal 3D images of the clitoris during sexual arousal. In another experiment, the women learn that they can be unaware of their own physical sexual arousal, highlighting the fact that genital response is not always central to a woman's sexual experience. As well as taking part in the experiments, the women take time with the scientists to discuss the research and get answers to questions about their own interesting sex lives.
