Ep 5. Girls Are Horny Too

In season 1 episode 5 of Big Mouth titled "Girls Are Horny Too," the show continues to explore the awkward and uncomfortable aspects of puberty, but this time from the perspective of the female characters. As the boys struggle with their own changing bodies and desires, the girls are experiencing similar confrontations with their own sexuality and physical changes.

The episode follows Jessi, Nick's female best friend, as she grapples with the fact that she is starting to feel sexually aroused and unsure of how to handle it. Jessi begins to worry that something is wrong with her when she finds herself constantly thinking about kissing one of her male classmates, Caleb. She confides in her friends, Missy and Andrew, but they seem to think her feelings are strange and make her feel even more ashamed about them.

Meanwhile, Jessi's mom tries to have the "talk" with her, but it ends up being more uncomfortable and confusing than helpful. In an attempt to better understand what is happening to her body, Jessi turns to an outdated sex ed book that her mom gave her, but finds it to be hilariously unhelpful.

The episode also explores the way in which young girls are often objectified and sexualized by others, particularly when they are going through puberty. Jessi becomes increasingly aware of the way Caleb and other boys are looking at her body and feels uncomfortable and violated by it.

The episode does a great job of portraying the complexity of female sexuality during puberty. It highlights the confusion and shame that many girls feel while exploring their own bodies and desires and the societal pressures that contribute to these feelings of discomfort.

Overall, this episode of Big Mouth is a great example of the show's ability to tackle sensitive subjects with both humor and thoughtfulness and is a must-watch for anyone interested in exploring the nuances of puberty from a female perspective.
