This was the first of the videos that started a trend of sex education videos in the early 1990s . I guess the idea behind it was for liberated women to go into a high street store and buy it without any type of guilt or inhibition , but no doubt the main buyer market was teenage boys and dirty old men
THE LOVERS GUIDE is groundbreaking in the fact that it publicised that the couples involved were real life partners but this is slightly dishonest , yes the main couple featured Wendy and her husband were indeed a real life couple who'd been married several years but there was some public controversy that at least one of the couples Kathryn ( The gorgeous brunette ) and Marino ( The well buffed geezer with a ponytail ) had never met one another until they appeared on set where they had unprotected sex for the camera . For a video that self righteously dedicates segments to safe sex it is rather hypocritical
Seeing as it's for education purposes and not pornography as such there's limits as to what can be shown but as a sex education video it's not uninformative though I doubt if you'll be gasping " I never knew that "
As a footnote the main couple featured became something of sexual problem agony aunts in the British press - Until it was revealed that Wendy's husband had a serious heart condition which put a stop to sex . I almost felt sorry for this couple who confessed that they used to make love as often as ten times a day but now couldn't make love once a day because it was too dangerous . My small amount of sympathy soon vanished when shortly afterwards the couple split up and raced off to the gutter press in order to dish the dirt on one another to the highest bidder .
Emma Thompson[爱心][爱心]
天呐。。。看来我也和伍迪艾伦一样，灵感随着性生活一道消失不见了，只想雇一个小哥来做门萨题。。。但影片让自己想起几年前看过的一篇微信文章，讲专门给残疾人提供替代性服务的职业，还是挺有触动的。检验一个人是否活得好，不在于基本生活需求，而在于能否满足基本欲望，就这点上看现在大部分人都活得不太好
精巧的四幕剧形式，以肉体买卖作为契机呈现人与人关系的微妙变化，最终达成与他人与自己的和解。当然这种剧情应该只存在在电影里，面对这么可爱的小哥只应该大搞特搞，汤普森最后对镜全裸还是蛮敢，对电影外的观众来说她又何尝不是里奥·格兰德，缓解大家对年华老去的焦虑并正视自己的欲望。
剧本太加分了，四次见面，认识自己，面对自己，欣赏自己。
也许我们只要做到爱自己，享受性爱，享受愉悦，其他的都不那么重要了吧。
Emma Thompson 演的也太好了，男主有点接不住。结局最后的镜头完美！
轻巧、讨喜、深邃、充满情欲之余又搞笑。现在就想问问男主这样服务人员几多钱一个钟。
4.5星 暂时是今年看过最有惊喜和喜欢的一部 男主戏内很charm 特里劳妮教授演技也很棒棒
四次sex体验，四次女性心理疗愈，结论，能让女人快乐的一定是女人自己。还得是女导演来拍！
非常喜欢前两次会面，女性非常需要解放被禁锢的欲望，放下对快乐的羞耻感和对自身的不自信。后两次的说教感略重。
老妇青鸭版《性爱照进现实》。记忆里劝妓女从良是中老男熟客办完事儿之后的爱好，这下性别反转了，只是老年人喜欢教育人罢了，不分男女，还是青鸭比较专业。
see people, pay respect, learn to be honest to yourself.
再再次，亲密关系不限于为爱鼓掌，每个人的需求不一样，可能只是倾诉和被倾听，过程获得关注和认同，但结果都是获得安抚。更高质量的可能是双方彼此为镜，看见未被自己发现的优点，照见自己的视差之见，纠正认知偏差，获得更好的自己，心理生理上都come。
“总有值得你幻想的事。”
艾玛汤普森大胆的表演，值得她在今年的颁奖季拿下奖杯，影片全靠对话来推进精致的剧情，又不让觉得老套，勇敢的探寻了少有前人探索的题材，不必为衰老的肉体和容颜的伤身，也别羞于谈性，性能带来的快乐，overrated but necessary。如果说有什么流俗的地方，其实还是，如果不加那一点点的感情，编剧也怕观众接受不了纯粹的性。
尺度够大，就节奏很工整但同时设定很讨巧人物也很设计感，谈话也是颇为知识分子式的探讨。
情绪的反复横跳，太真实了。只有当你是客户，才会有最完美的情人。
四星为了艾玛汤姆森这个影坛常青树的最后全裸。这需要勇气。下垂的乳房。大肚腩，毕露无遗。三星半是因为太正确了，虽然通过男主的恋母挽救了点。男主是服务精神还是真心接受这样的身体。因为喜欢就会接受吧，不可忽略了人性的爱。
Good luck to you, you and you.
#Sundance2022 Emma Thompson: can't believe this kind of film is only being made in 2022. It was very freeing to work on this film.
