I'm sure Ms. Roach would not agree with your dismissal of her work as "trivial". This is a bright example of stating your own value judgment as an absolute fact.
Maybe the subject itself is not trivial, but her approach was. I think she underestimated how much the average person knows about sex research. This stuff is not taboo: it's a popular topic in mass-circulation magazines, and "Kinsey" was a mainstream, surprisingly bland movie full of big-name actors. She needed to present new information or a unique perspective, and instead she presented a handful of factoids. The pig video was funny, but not particularly thought-provoking.
It also annoyed me that she kept cracking herself up with lines that weren't all that funny.
