Sex-Positive

I happened upon this movie by pure chance.

At first it appeared to be just another soft core skin flick, but upon viewing it, I saw something that's rarely seen these days, a genuine satire of sexuality and popular culture. While not a cinematic masterpiece, its lightheartedness and unexpected moments make this an enjoyable adult comedy.

What really stands out is the film's breaking of the double standard when it comes to nudity in mainstream films. Both the female and male performers are depicted frankly and unashamedly without any form of exploitation. And this is in no way a porno film. The nudity is natural and unashamed, and the sex scenes, while explicit, are tastefully done. Its being unrated in a way gives the finger to the MPAA's hypocritical rating system where bloody violence gets a pass and displaying the human body is taboo.

There are a few awkward moments in the story, and scenes which some can find a bit much, but overall, Sex-Positive is a refreshingly funny take on contemporary mores and the current youth culture.
