Manila, Philippines 24 July 2019 – HOOQ, Southeast Asia’s leading video-on-demand

service, today announced the launch of Sex Talks with Dr. Holmes, the latest HOOQ Original to

be available on the 26 th of July. Sex therapist, best-selling author, clinical psychologist, and

columnist Dr. Margarita Holmes is back with her unbridled and sometimes irreverent advice on

sex as she collaborates with HOOQ for the first time.

This is HOOQ’s second Original from the Philippines, the first one being Viva Films’ co-

produced “Ulan” starring Nadine Lustre and Carlo Aquino.

Sheila Paul, HOOQ Philippines Country Manager, said, “One of the goals for HOOQ and its

original productions is to push the boundaries when it comes to video entertainment. We are

very excited that our first infotainment HOOQ Original features Dr, Margie Holmes, who has

been pushing these boundaries for many years to provide much needed and frank discussions

on taboo topics like sex in the Philippines.”

Dr. Holmes is a professor of psychology at undergraduate and graduate levels, and has taught

at universities in the Philippines and the United States. She is currently a columnist

at Playboy,  rappler.com , Abante, and Abante Tonite; as well as a Psychology professor at the

Graduate Program of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila.

In her illustrious career, Dr. Holmes has written 20 bestseller books, the best known of which

are “Life Love Lust”, the first book written on love and sex in the Philippines and “Down to 1:

Depression Stories”, the first book written about clinical depression in the country. Her most

recent books include “Love Triangles” and “Imported Love” which she co-authored with her

husband Jeremy Baer..

Jeffrey Remigio, Content and Programming Head of HOOQ Philippines said, “‘Sex Talks

with Dr. Holmes’ is a 10-episode nonfiction sex comedy series that addresses and answers

questions we’re too shy to ask but are too curious to just leave alone. We’re very proud to have

Dr. Holmes on board for HOOQ Originals.”

Sex Talks with Dr. Holmes takes a humorous but informative approach to addressing key issues

around the topic of taboo. Every episode includes a funny personal short film involving

depictions of real life dilemmas and questions sent to Dr. Holmes. Through creative

reenactments, animations, and straight-to-camera conversations, Dr. Holmes offers her own

form of candid albeit expert advice. The series has a raw and natural feel to it, based on the

themes of these real-life stories.
