Steaming sex

Sorrows

Tonight I saw one of the best sex scenes I have seen in months, maybe years. It’s a scene from the French movie “Shall we kiss?” or “Un baiser s'il vous plait” by Emmanuel Mouret.
It not is a steaming sex scene, thank god not. The stiffness, the awkwardness and the clumsiness of sex with a person you usually have coffee with are portrayed extremely well.
The movie itself is much better than the reviews promised.
What’s more appealing than a kiss without consequences, asks Emmanuel Mouret.
Unfortunately often we want more, after the first satisfying kiss. This is the source of our sorrows. Or so Mr. Mouret seems to think.
