Norway's Newton, a TV series aimed at eight-year-olds, explains the ins and outs of puberty, sex, masturbation, and pregnancy.

According to Medical Daily Line Jansrud, a medical doctor and the host of the show isn't afraid to use props to get her point across - whether it is a tomato for French killing or a dildo to demonstrate how sex works.

“Maybe slow at first, and faster later,” she encourages.

The show comes as part of Norway's nationwide push for sex education, put on by NRK Super, the country’s largest children’s website, and the Norwegian public broadcast channel.

While the show may seem raunchy - it is actually based on fairly solid research which shows that teaching kids where babies come from at an early age can curb unhealthy attitudes toward sex and puberty.

Warning - video includes sexually explicit imagery.
