Some people may think that this film is a real record of a contemporary scumbag, but in fact, this is not an exception, even you were a passer-by in his life, but you don't know it yourself.

Here I won't talk about the sister who is extremely sensitive and insecure, and has always wanted to seek dependence outside, and I won't guess whether the male protagonist also has feelings for his sister.

Mainly talk about the male protagonist Brandon. He is engaged in a rich and decent job. There are various pornographic videos on the company's computer. When he goes to work, he also goes to the bathroom to make out with the girls left and right. He also has sexual fantasies when he sees the back of the company secretary. Own bachelorette, find call girls, video sex, one night stands and more. The uncontrollable sexual desire made him fall into the dark abyss, unable to extricate himself, losing the ability to truly love someone.

He is like a child who has not grown up. He has no sense of security, so he will not make promises easily. The longest relationship is only 4 months. He believes that marriage is unnecessary. Like a lonely patient, he fills the void in his soul with erotic hand-to-hand combat, but it's just a flash in the pan and can't solve the problem at all.

When there is a woman who is willing to pay seriously, he will be weak and withdraw, because he can't let random or even shameless behavior happen to such a woman.

I am the dividing line, the dividing line between plot and reality

There are indeed many men like Brandon in life, if they can control or suppress their sexual desire, they will not fall into the abyss step by step. The most important thing is that they don't feel any problem in it, and this way it even becomes necessary to maintain their life. Girls can be approached everywhere in life, and the forms are ever-changing and adapt to local conditions. Girls in the mobile phone address book are stored in the form of region + remarks. They can always get the points of different girls. They claim to be women who serve the majority of female compatriots. friend.

Most of them know exactly what they are doing and why they are doing this, but they still insist on enjoying the pleasure brought by sensuality. They are not unhappy, but just satisfy an addiction. It's the same, nothing special. They also know that in most cases, the women they are with also have certain needs, and it is a win-win for them to satisfy both their addiction and each other.

You can think that their behavior is a social heresy, some "sick" and shameless, but no matter what you think, they are such an existence, just different from most people.

I would say such remarks because, from the perspective of a bystander, I look at this phenomenon objectively and rationally, without any partiality or so-called excessive tolerance. What right does anyone else have to interfere or comment on the actions of anyone who knows his will and behavior clearly, as long as he can persuade himself? What's more, all the consequences can only be borne by him alone.

In life, some people rely on drinking to comfort themselves, reconcile with the world, and move on after a hangover; some people rely on sex, and the satisfaction of fleshly desire time after time, to make their lonely soul pretend to have company.
