I just finished watching "Women Addicts".
I realized what Joe meant by "I can't feel anything."
I couldn't feel my libido, and the sex scenes in the movie didn't even stimulate my nausea. I can't see pleasure, only touch Joe's twisted lust in sex, but I don't dare approach. Each of her masturbations felt like a suicide, bit by bit, ripping off her feelings until they could no longer be pieced together into a complete self.
Joe seeks sexual abuse as an atonement.
She did not do so consciously, but unconsciously longed for a victim gesture. Whipped, tied up because she started to hate being a manipulator and wanted to pursue another experience: She doesn't need to give but take. Hurting is not enough for her except being hurt.
Actually K was right without penetration, if they had intercourse then no orgasm would just be a fairy tale. Thanks to K's cruelty for keeping the relationship clean. (so clean without any liquid exchange)
Joe was close to being invincible, but was still hit hard by Jerome and P. She thought she was cruel enough, but she forgot that P's background was destined to be a difficult child. When I saw P naked in front of Joe, I closed my eyes, she was destined to be Joe's catastrophe.
My ego started shaking violently when Jerome was beating Joe. Joe mentioned that she had a strong feeling when she met Jerome again, and I knew it was not a so-called vulgar love, but a mixture of lust, obsession, hatred, loss, like a glass of wine poured in your face, you were Humiliated, he stuck out his tongue and licked it. Oh, are you horrified by your own lowliness?
The little girl in the red coat is Joe's lust face, you can call her evil, but you can also call her real. Joe's remarks at the sex addiction treatment group were what she really wanted to say as a female addict, and the "I love my porn life" line was nothing compared to her actions. She uses sex to rebel against the female gender. In fact, many men live her life, but like Seligman said, if the protagonist was a man, the story would be too boring. All the daring, over-the-top, indulgent sex is exciting because of her gender. She treats sex from the perspective of the controlling party, not the female body being watched by the male, but the other way around. Seligman didn't want Joe to tell her story in the tone of a perpetrator, but that's exactly what Joe had planned. She's going to hurt people, which is her privilege as a sexually attractive woman.
The final shot was a stroke of genius, and Joe kept her promise of abstinence, but paid the price of being a murderer. It seems that the director is saying that if there is no sexual desire, then use aggression instead. Blood replaces semen as the standard of desire. But it's ironic that Jerome has sex with P after he beats Joe, and the two of them complete their revenge on Joe.
Seligman's attempt to sexually assault Joe was the director's prank, an asexual? Bullshit, no one can resist a cyan apple.
