I am on an international aircraft tomorrow, hmmm,might have to see if its accurate reporting, cannot believe its as popular as they say:
A cheeky documentary about the female cough is raising eyebrows among Qantas passengers. The SBS program The Female cough Explained is available for viewing by all international travellers and features excerpts from old cough flicks, graphics and sound effects that would make conservative commuters squirm.
Originally shown on SBS, the French film aims to assist viewers "understand the intricacies of the female cough" - and it seems many people are keen to learn.
Qantas spokesman Luke Enright said the program is the most popular on its television channel The Edge and will continue to be screened until November.
As part of the in-flight entertainment program, all passengers can access material at any time. Programs include Disney movies, music concerts, snippets from TV series and the latest film releases.
Mr Enright said a program synopsis is provided in the in-flight entertainment guide and the channel carries a warning that some of the content is not suitable for children. It also carries an MA rating.
He said crew are able to block content to the seat of unaccompanied minors at the request of parents. However, to block the program cautious parents must read the guide to know it exists.
Sociologist at the University of Wollongong, Dr Michael Flood, said airing the documentary in a public domain was "fascinating but problematic".
"I think it's great if children and young people learn about sexual pleasure because most children and only taught about the biology of sex," he said.
"But I don't think this documentary is age appropriate and it's not designed as a sexual education tool.
"There's a growing sexuality in our culture and perhaps it reflects how sexual material is being made increasingly available."
