l suppose so.

l'm delighted you could join me.

Come, let's drink... to the law of the future.

Before drinking, may l know what this law is?

lt states that one must make love

without shame or constraint.

That virginity is not glorious.

That the couple has its limits.

And that these limits must be stretched to infinity.

To the law of the future, then.

Now we shall eat. Food is very important too.

Jean says the most important thing is...

to have frequent orgasms.

l'm not afraid any more.

Fine. All fear should be totally abolished.

The fear of questioning oneself and the fear of being happy

engender the values of a false morality,

taboos, conformism, the refusal of life...

ln a word: lies.

Come here!

Come!

See these legs? Do you like them?

Take them then.

They're yours.

Never give all of yourself to the same man.

But what do you want? What part shall I reserve for you?

- Mario, let me go home. - What? Home?

Be happy with what l am.

Make love to me then let me go home to my husband.

Your husband isn't here. He entrusted you to me.

What for? lf you won't take me.

l want to help you cross a frontier to a usually-forbidden land.

The land of eroticism.

How would you define eroticism?

Well, it's...

Let me see...

A belief in sensual pleasure.

Absolutely not.

lt's not purely the sensual. lt also involves the soul.

lt's a school, an art,

that serves to humanize sexual acts.

lt's about renouncing subterfuge

in favor of lucidity.

Well if that's eroticism, it sounds kind of dull.

Basically eroticism is the opposite of making love.

lt's notably...

through love...

that man strives to break with his daily existence.

lt's the victory of dreams over nature.

l'd rather think of love simply as a pleasure.

Making love is not important, its the way you make love.

You mean the 32 positions?

That's absurd.

But it's true that Orientals consider bodily techniques

as way to achieve a certain degree of fulfillment.

One must use one's body to understand others...

and oneself.

We must loosen the bonds.

We must liberate the screams that have been silenced for centuries

and destroy established values.

Fill your head...

with more sensations than you can obtain....

every man on earth.

One must use the unusual.

The unusual which is...

beyond all that is customary.

The wife impregnated in the nuptial bed

has no knowledge of eroticism.

One must organize one's adventures with economy.

One must eliminate sentiment.

My emptied head...

has become so fearful and so avid...

that love alone can satisfy it.

Why are you saying this?
