Netflix Viewers ‘Sickened’ By New Extremely X-Rated Series With Very Graphic Scenes
Netflix has recently launched a new series that dives deep into the life of a figure dubbed ‘the godfather of rough sex,’ and it’s causing quite a stir among viewers.
Some are so outraged that they’ve threatened to cancel their Netflix subscriptions in protest.The streaming giant is no stranger to airing content on risqué subjects, having previously released “Money Shot: The Pornhub Story” last year and the controversial “365 Days” trilogy.
However, its latest offering, a miniseries titled “Supersex,” has sparked accusations from viewers that Netflix is pushing the boundaries too far, with some saying it’s ‘making porn mainstream’.
“Supersex” has received praise from critics, earning an 86 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The series is ‘loosely’ based on the life story of Rocco Siffredi, a legendary porn star who made a significant impact on the industry with over 1,300 films to his name, known especially for his ‘godfather of rough sex’ persona.
The direction of “Supersex” is quite evident from its premise.
Alessandro Borghi, the actor portraying Rocco Siffredi, shared with the Italian news outlet Today that he participated in an astonishing 50 sex scenes over the course of 95 days of filming.
Given its explicit content, it’s no surprise that the drama is strictly intended for audiences aged 18 and above.

Nevertheless, the explicit nature of “Supersex” has sparked considerable backlash among Netflix subscribers.This reaction was especially pronounced following the brief sharing of an X-rated scene from the series on Netflix’s US Instagram account, which was subsequently removed.
The Daily Star reported that the controversial scene featured Borghi shirtless among several scantily clad women, engaging in suggestive movements, leaving the specifics of the scene to the audience’s imagination.Subscribers expressed their outrage in comments captured in screenshots by the Mail Online, with one stating:
“Now we have porn on Netflix as well? Cancelling account while we speak, my kids can’t see this.”

Another concerned viewer added, “Isn’t this inappropriate for a platform where KIDS FOLLOW YOU?!”The criticism didn’t stop there, with another commenter questioning the mainstream acceptance of such explicit content:
“Are we just making porn mainstream now? It’s pretty sickening that there is no warning on explicit content like this. Yet women who post a picture breastfeeding are flagged.”“This should be a separate category on Netflix if you want to put stuff like this out.”
In an interview with LADbible prior to the release of “Supersex,” Rocco Siffredi addressed potential viewer shock, explaining:“For sure. I never, ever like to tell you one part of me, I always say everything. You either like it or you don’t, this is who I am;”
“I could never be who I am without showing everything about myself.”

He further elaborated on the series’ focus, “The part shown on Netflix, which people don’t know, is the way I grew up, the way my life came up since I was a child.”“How did I grow up? What were the situations involved in my life? So this is the main Rocco, really, which people don’t know, most people know me just in front of the camera, naked.”
“Supersex” is available for streaming on Netflix, amidst ongoing debate and controversy.
