Sex, Sexuality, and Relationships
My list of films that have to do with sex, sexuality, and relationships. I've tried to make the list as diverse as possible: straight, queer, monogamous, polyamorous, long-term, short-term, etc. and of different ethnic groups. But the list is restricted to films since 2000 that I am myself interested in seeing in video nights with friends.
