Launched in 1998, Sexcetera ran for more than 80 episodes. By the time the program went off the air in 2005, it had become one of Playboy TV's longest-running shows.

The show featured four to five reports per one-hour episode. Filmed throughout the world, but primarily in the United States, the reports generally covered sexual fetishes, adult entertainment expos and gatherings, current erotic trends, sex toys, porn celebrities and tips for couples.
