A new sex education show by web TV network PopTeeVee goes on
air today, the first such programme in Malaysia where the topic has long been

Together with performer Sudarshan, June answers basic questions on sex, with the first episode touching on the topic of virginity and myths surrounding it.

"Popek-popek" can be viewed at PopTeeVee.net and
