All moments that require others depend on sex. I think that's why the heroine left a sad impression.
I don't think the main point of this article is feminism, it's just a small side. After all, if the film was about a male erotica, it wouldn't bring us such a strong tragedy, but I don't think it wants to criticize anyone, Just wanted to show a kind of fringe world and give the audience some facts about sex.
The first is the fact that some sex addicts have more of a desire for emotional comfort than sensual pleasure.
All the moments when the heroine needs others are comforted by sex. When she sees her father's pain, she feels the pain that she can't digest but has no one to talk to; the moment after parting with her lover's son... Although she discovered it when she was young The mystery of the vagina, but I don't believe that anyone is born a natural addict for no reason, maybe just happened to discover that mystery, or imagine that in countless moments of insufficient motherly love, she tried to alleviate that share through sex Loneliness and emptiness, gradually form a habit, and then, at every moment when she needs to resolve her emotions (this emotion can be lonely and empty, it can be anxiety, it can be sad, it can be any emotion that makes her feel unbearable.) , she will do it through sex, even after the heroine's father died, the heroine got wet, as if sex had become the heroine's chaotic way of expressing emotions at that time. Because there is no more convenient or easier way than sex, because sex may be a way for a person to gain a loving connection. I think all sexual desires are for love, except for those who are purely sensual. So I think love is the secret of sex, not a high-sounding word. Sex with love is more satisfying. In the film, when the heroine talks about the story of the three lovers, there is a clip that puts the heroine and three people in the same scene, the heroine and Jerome? (I'm sorry I can't remember the name) The clip is placed in the middle, in fact, as far as I feel, the clip where the heroine has sex with him is different from the heroine and everyone in the past, that clip looks like two Individuals are enjoying and expressing love to each other, while everything else seems like a catharsis, and all the people making love just want to enjoy themselves more, and there is not much emotional interaction. People must have deep connections to feel valuable, and sex is such a means of deep communication.
The second fact is that many people are ashamed of the sexual instinct and avoid it, but most of them cannot escape the sexual instinct.
Regarding the man who talks to the heroine, he may want to add a high-sounding reason to sex because he feels ashamed, so when listening to the heroine's story, the man keeps bringing the topic back to philosophy, science, etc. He seems to never I don't want to face the heroine's conversation purely from a sexual point of view. Or maybe he can't understand everything the heroine said in his life without sex, so if he wants to understand, he can only use the knowledge of astronomy and geography he has to forcibly explain. Even when he talked about his saddest thing to the heroine - the feeling of losing sex, he didn't have any real empathy. Maybe everything the heroine said was empty and curious and longing for this man. At the last moment of the film, he failed to resist the instinctive temptation of sex and wanted to have a relationship with the heroine. The heroine's final rejection was also a sign that she really wanted to start over, but she didn't know if the person who brought her hope wanted to drag her down into this experience, and the blow to the heroine could be tolerated by the heroine. and choose to start over.
