Not all former Sexcetera employees remember their experience on the show as fondly as Ross. Susannah Breslin presented Sexcetera for five years, travelling from Mexican porn star vacation spots to Dutch fetish clubs. In an interview with The Telegraph in 2012, Breslin spoke of how her experience presenting the show was "partly responsible" for a breakdown she suffered around that period. Describing her work as "initially fascinating", she said that, over time, "You would notice that the girl had been crying. Or you would see somebody be rough with somebody."Charges of the glorification of "extreme" sex acts, such as water torture (the content of one of the episodes banned from UK mainstream TV by Ofcom), were countered by Playboy with the reasoning that the show was objective editorial content; an opinion Kira still shares. "As soon as you restrict freedom of expression, the line is going to keep moving," she says. "That is one thing that Sexcetera and Playboy and America stands for: freedom of expression. I think that you can't regulate a news story; if it exists in the world, then you have to say that."
