Background

The series' episode "Sex in the Civil War" discussed how

The documentary series discussed the

blowjobs, hashish, and heroin from prostitutes.[6]

In a review of The XY Factor: Sex In World War II, Annmaree Bellman wrote in The Age, "this fascinating, almost pulp, instalment of the US documentary series is frank and revealing, although there's little attempt to examine the lot of the prostitutes."[7] Susan Stewart of TV Guide reviewed the series.[8]
