Thank you.

My dream was my need.

My ambition, my quest.

My name is Juliet, and I'm 22.

I didn't know much about sex, passion, or seduction.

And I certainly didn't know that I was about to undergo my own personal sexual

awakening. And this is how it began.

You know, I had that same dream again last night.

Same guy?

Mm-hmm.

Do you have any idea of who it might be?

No.

But, oh my God, he sure is wonderful.

Is that your thesis?

Yeah. What do you think?

Sexual function and the need for interpersonal relationship.

It explores all these things of why people need sex, desire sex, and go

through all those machinations to get it.

Well, your maca-whatever aside, let me know if you need a research assistant.

Okay.

You know, I showed it to my professor, but he thinks that it's not thorough

enough. So he's given me two weeks to redo this. And, you know, he is right.

It's missing something.

What's it missing?

Well, he says that it has a great clinical start, and it's definitely

doctoral material.

But he says it's lacking something, that I haven't put myself into this paper.

So he thinks that I should put more passion into it.

Is he cute?

Sarah!

Sorry, okay.

I don't know, maybe that's why I think I'm having all these dreams.

I mean, I think about things all the time, and I want to explore more things.

And that's partially why I'm doing this paper and all this research, but... But

what?

I'm not sure what he means by infuse my paper with passion.

I think he means that you need to get some clinical experience.

Okay, smarty pants, well, how do you want me to do that in two weeks?

I know exactly what we're going to do.

Follow me.

Wake up, sleepyhead.

Do I have to? Yes, you do.

We're going to help Juliet with something.

You fell asleep on the couch last night, and I didn't want to wake you up just to

drag you back to the bedroom.

Shut up.

Here,

read this.

Personal?

What are you suggesting?

What are you suggesting?

Well, where else are you going to get field experience and meet people that

are ready, willing, and available to help you with your research?

I don't know.

Let's read them.

Sexy, adventurous female looking to swing with a hard-bodied Tarzan.

Must have lots of stamina and willing to be wild in the bedroom. That works for

me.

Hungry man desiring a hot sex slave interested in bondage and all that is

erotic.

Really?

What? I like that one.

You would.

Take a walk on the wild side with a fiery redhead. Only apply if you have a

penchant for kink and leather.

David and I have answered a few of these, and they've been really great for

our sex life.

She's right about that.

What is this about helping Juliette?

Well, she needs to research her sexuality for her thesis.

So I thought since you and I have answered a few of these ads and we're

comfortable with it, we can kind of act as chaperones, you know, and make sure

everything's okay.

I don't know, guys.

Oh, come on.

If it makes you feel more comfortable, we can have some of the people come

here. Here? Yeah.

That way you get to do your research in a safer environment.

That sounds a little better.

Yeah, that sounds pretty good.

What's wrong?

It's just that you guys have an open relationship, and I'm different.

Yeah, we are, and that's okay.

But you're the one that said you wanted to explore.

Look, the open relationship works for us.

Okay? It's a turn-on for me to be with a woman who's open with her sexuality.

You know, Sarah stripping at the club is a huge turn-on for me.

I go down there to watch her and all those beautiful women and all those guys

admiring her beautiful body and just knowing that I'm going to go home with

the hottest girl there.

I'm going to take a shower. Okay.

I wouldn't mind a little admiring myself, though. I'll be there in a

minute. Just let me help Juliet pick out an easy one, okay? Okay.

Ooh,

this one sounds perfect.

Yeah.

Natural Beauty wanted to perform a private fashion sale.

No experience necessary, but you must be willing to explore the depth of your

erotic self.

No physical interaction.

Sounds easy enough.

Okay, it's settled then. Call him and have him come over.

Playtime in the shower.

Let them know while I'm waiting.

It's a sensation in my mind.

What makes a fire burn?

How deep's the feeling you can get?

Are you always this cheerful?

Sometimes.

I hope we get to meet you soon. You have a very nice laugh.

Thank you.

You have a sweet voice.

My turn for things.

So, do you have any questions?

Um, yeah.

What is it exactly that you want me to do?

Just what the ad says.

I'll provide everything you need.

All you need to do is show up.

Okay.

Can you come to my place instead?

I'm afraid that's impossible.

I have a special room set up.

Is six o'clock okay?

That would be perfect.

My name is Alex.

What's yours?

Soren.

Do you like the view?

Jesus.

You scared me.

Where are you?

I'm here.

Don't worry, I can see you.

Is this some kind of Wizard of Oz thing?

I prefer a little mystery.

How about you?

I suppose.

As you can see, there's something on the rack there.

Please, put it on.

You're a little nervous, aren't you? Um, I've never done anything like this

before. Believe it or not, neither have I.

You know, you're free to leave at any time.

If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, and we'll stop, okay?

Okay.

Very nice to read.

I'm not sure what you want me to do.

Why don't you pour yourself a glass of wine?

Move to the music.

Let yourself go.

Visual stimulation is an intricate part of the arousal process.

A variety of sense memories come into play when watching something considered

by the viewer to be erotic.

Knowing you're being watched, knowing you're being desired, heightens your

response and makes you receptive to the act.

It inspires you to... Oh, hi.

I knocked, but you didn't hear me.

No, no, no, it's okay.

I made breakfast.

Ready.

Thanks.

You made breakfast?

Yeah. I'm busy.

Oh. Come on.

Good morning.

Hey.

Aren't you going to tell us what happened last night?

No.

Okay, well, like the ad says, there was no sex involved, but

it was really erotic.

Was he hot?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

I don't know. He watched me by camera.

Well, that sounds kinky.

I mean, you never saw him at all?

No, he wanted to keep it mysterious.

Well, that sounds fun.

Yeah. His voice was so wonderful. It was really deep. It was warm.

God, I just want to make me melt.

I like him already.

Enough about the guy.

What did he make you do?

Oh, shush.

Well,

he had me put on this... really sexy dress and lingerie underneath and pose

as provocatively as possible. And I could do anything I wanted to do.

So what did you do?

Well, I was really nervous at first, but little by little, I got more into it. I

got more relaxed, started to feel things, moving my hands around, you

know, and it was fun being watched.

Would you do it again?

It depends.

On what?

High-powered Helen of Troy seeks to be dominated by a fiery redhead Medusa and

Trojan escort.

Must be willing to go the distance with your domination.

One Trojan at your service.

I don't know, guys.

Oh, come on. We'll do it here.

Oh, you know, I don't know anything about domination, let alone being with

another woman and I'm obviously not a redhead.

The first two I can teach.

The hair we can fix.

Come on, what do you say?

Maybe.

and this is... So why

a

man and a woman?

I want to reacquaint myself with my sexuality.

Lately I've only been with women.

And I want to see if I'm still attracted to men.

Well then, let's get started.

First, you're to do everything I tell you to do.

Second, you're not to speak unless I tell you to speak.

Got it?

Yes.

Good.

Now I want you to teach yourself.

Slowly.

David, go sit over there.

Now I want you to take off your shirt.

Never in your hand was all over pictures

Strip one

Good

Now

I want you to put

your fingers in the mouth get them wet

Move them lower.

Now get on your knees.

And I want you to crawl over to David.

Slowly.

That's it.

Slowly.

Seduction.

Undo his pants.

With your feet.

Oh, God.

Role-playing can be an effective tool in sparking sexual openness.

Participants should be encouraged to step out of their own characters and

adapt roles that are the antithesis of their true nature.

Alex, can I ask you something?

Yes.

Why can't we meet?

I prefer it this way, for now.

My little kink, if you will.

Don't you have any kinks around?

Yes, but I guess no one's really asked about them before.

You have a lot of women's things.

Are these your ex-girlfriends?

Ex-wives?

The clothes were my fiancée's.

Do you answer many ads like mine, Sharon?

No, this is my first time.

Actually, can I be honest with you?

Please.

I'm studying to be a sexual therapist, and I'm writing my doctoral dissertation

on sexuality, and this is part of my research.

I have a confession to make.

My real name is Juliet.

Oh, hi. Hey. What's up?

Nice glasses.

Thanks. This is a new look for the next ed. Read that.

Okay. Wanted. A very special woman for a very special surprise.

Married couple seeks enthusiastic partner to share in three-way pleasure.

Looking for intelligent and willing woman open to exploring her sexuality.

Wow. Definitely sounds interesting.

That's what I thought. She's actually coming over in a few minutes.

Need any help?

No, no. I think I'm okay. She's just going to come over and make sure we're

compatible. Casual.

She's going to love you. Oh, thanks.

Wish me luck. Okay. Good luck.

Bye.

So what's this special surprise, Alicia?

Well, it's my husband's birthday tomorrow night, and I wanted to give him

this fantasy as a birthday gift.

Oh, how nice of you. Yeah, I can't wait.

So tell me about yourself, Juliet.

Well, there's really not much to tell. I work as an accountant in a big firm, and

it keeps me really busy.

So there's no man in your life?

No, no. I've given up on men for a while. Too many disasters.

I have my books, and I spend a lot of time online.

I don't know. I guess I'm just looking to spice things up a little bit.

Have you ever been with a woman before?

To tell you the truth, no.

Have you?

Yeah, a few times when I was in school before I was married.

You

like that?

Yeah. Good.

Let's save it for tomorrow.

Eddie's going to love you.

Now I really need your help.

What happened?

Well, I need to learn how to make love to a woman.

Really? Why?

Well, you kissed me, and...

If I'm going to do this, I need to know how to do it right.

Tell me about the kiss.

Well, it was different.

It was so sweet and so soft.

Have you done this before?

What do you think?

That must be Leslie, my friend from the club.

Hold that thought, though.

Julia?

um um

Are you ready for your birthday present?

I thought this was it.

Not even close.

I mean it, no pizza.

All right. All right.

What the... Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

Happy birthday.

Eddie, Juliette. Happy birthday, Eddie.

I don't believe this.

Are you sure, baby?

I love you.

I love you.

Melting my spine. Never knew I could feel so much.

But it's only just begun.

A chance encounter with a perfect stranger.

I speak to you with my hands.

Your touch is new.

on the soft white summer sands.

Never knew I could feel so much.

Tell me about your boyfriend.

Well, except for my first boyfriend, I always seem to pick the wrong guys.

They usually end up being a lot like my father was, self-absorbed and uncaring.

Sometimes we gravitate to what we know and mistake it for what we want.

You're very wise.

On the other hand, sometimes we expect what we didn't get from a parent,

approval or love, and are disappointed.

Tell me about your first boyfriend.

Uh, who's the doctor here?

You first, then me.

Well, his name was Stephen, and he was the sweetest guy I've ever met. He had

this way of listening to me whenever I talked to him.

He was very, very caring and very comforting.

How did you sneak in by your father?

Well, I was 18 at the time, and my father had just passed on.

And my mother was too busy having her breakdown that she was just happy I was

occupied.

Was he the first man you had sex with?

Yes.

Were you impressed?

Very.

He was very nurturing.

He was very comfortable.

Did he give you an orgasm?

Alex?

She said you wanted to lose your inhibition.

I was a little too nervous the first time, but then after that...

Please don't.

Let me take it off for you.

Goodbye, Julia.

Alex!

Bears auditioning in action down in San Francisco.

She gets a finer's fee if they go out.

I think they're going to go out.

You want some champagne?

Uh, yeah.

He's very nice.

Thank you.

So, what did you guys think?

They're hot.

Yeah? Yeah, yeah, they're good.

Yeah, I think so, too.

So, Juliette, what brings you to the club for the first time?

I want to learn how to strip.

What?

You know what?

Alex is totally turning me on, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I

just feel like there's something.

So, can you help me?

Well, of course I can teach you, but have you even seen Alex yet?

No.

Are you getting all this worked up and you've never seen the guy?

You know what? He opened up to me. There's something inside of him that I

know I can help him.

Excuse me.

Hey, Sarah, Joseph's here for you.

Oh, guys, I'm sorry.

Joseph's my best customer.

Juliet, you remember Leslie, don't you?

Yeah. Les, do me a favor.

Would you show Juliet a few basics?

You mean you want to dance?

Sure.

Thanks.

I love you.

So, what's with this guy, Joseph?

Oh, rich, scary guy. But every time he comes in, he gives her $500.

Really? Yeah, I know.

Come on, let's get started.

Okay.

Hey,

I'm going to get some fruit, so come get it when you're done, okay? Okay.

Sure. Uh, where are we going?

Come on, you'll see.

David.

David, what are we doing?

Something I've wanted to do for a long time.

David, David. I know you saw us in the shower. Come on, did it turn you on?

David, David, what are we doing here? Shh, come on.

You know, Sarah and I have an open relationship.

I know you want this.

Let go, Juliet.

I'll make this part of your research.

If I look into my future, I see

you there.

I can't tell me what to do.

let's follow

Good morning.

Morning.

You sure disappeared from the club in a hurry last night?

Yeah, I had to get back and work on my paper.

I hope Leslie was helpful.

Yeah, yeah, she was great.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'll be fine. I'm just tired.

Well, I gotta go.

Are you as uncomfortable as I am? Oh my God, yes.

I'm sorry, Juliet.

I had too much to drink.

Yeah, I was pretty gone, too.

I don't even know what came over me.

I mean, I think it's just getting to me and I react.

What do you mean?

What's getting to you?

Sarah being with other men.

Wait a minute.

Back up. I thought you really liked that.

I do.

I did.

So then what changed?

You were that guy, Joseph, last night.

I mean, the way he was touching her, you know?

It bothered me. And I know she was purposely going him on.

I just couldn't watch it.

You know, David, I think you're in love with Sarah.

You should face it. You're in love.

I guess I am, huh?

Yeah, you know, sometimes people need the loss or fear of their loss to

realize what they have.

So what do we do?

Do we tell her or not tell her?

I don't know.

Open relationship aside, I don't think this is going to go over very well.

Yeah, I agree.

I think I should tell her.

No,

it should probably be me.

What should be you?

Milk. I should go to the store and get some more milk.

Oh, actually, I already picked some up from the fridge.

Oh, okay.

Then I'm going to go back upstairs and work on my paper.

Hey, I want to hear all about Alex later.

Okay, okay.

I tried to write, but I just couldn't keep focused.

So much happened so quickly, it was a blur.

But I'd never felt so free, so confident.

I was feeling things I'd only imagined, a kind of release I didn't think that

was real.

But... As much as I love this awakening, I wondered if I was getting a little out

of control.

Hello, Juliet. I wasn't expecting you this early. Hi, Alex. I hope you don't

mind. Not at all.

I want to do something a little different today if that's okay with you.

As you like. I wanted to share some experiences that I've had in the last

couple of days.

Really?

A few days ago, I had to learn how to make love to a woman. So my roommate and

a friend of hers taught me how to do it.

How?

After watching Sarah and Leslie, I had a three-way with a woman.

when such could be so soft, yet so raw.

It was amazing, Alex.

Temptation.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh.

Oh.

Juliet, he's called five times. I don't want to talk to him.

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.

I don't know what I did wrong.

Oh, honey, it doesn't sound like you did anything wrong.

Think about it. You've never even seen the guy.

He's just a creep.

I just don't understand it.

He's the first man since Stephen that I actually felt comfortable with, and God,

I thought he cared about me.

He's playing mind games.

I feel like such an idiot.

You're not an idiot. You were just trying to help him.

Think of it like an experience of treating a future wacko client.

Lost confidence in my ass.

See? Good.

Now that balance has been restored in my favorite household, I gotta go to

rehearsal.

David, thank you.

I'll call you later, babe.

Okay, bye.

It's all going to work out.

Thanks.

Oh, thank you, Sarah. Oh, you're welcome.

So,

where does this leave you with your paper?

All gone?

No, I don't know. It just doesn't seem finished to me. There's something still

missing, you know, between not knowing what happened with Alex and me having...

Me having what?

I need to tell you something, but I hope you don't get too mad.

Tell me what?

Gosh.

At the club the other night, I had a little too much to drink and got a

little out of control.

And, uh... And?

I had sex with David.

You what?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

That's why I had to leave so early. I felt terrible.

I can't believe it.

I'm sorry.

I thought you were my best friend.

Sarah, I am.

Yeah, but best friends don't sleep with their best friend's boyfriends, even if

they do have an open relationship.

I know, I know. I mean, in an open relationship, sex with a stranger is

okay. But not sex with a friend.

Sarah, I know. If I could take it back, I would.

I wish you wouldn't have told me. I feel sick.

I'm so sorry.

You know what? You're such a good friend to me. Please forgive me.

Yeah, well, you should have thought of that before you screwed my boyfriend.

Sarah, wait.

There. Where you been?

I know we need to talk. I can explain.

There's nothing to talk about. You wanted an open relationship?

You got one.

I decided in light of what's happened, we're going to host Joseph's first

floating orgy.

Tonight at 10 sharp.

Honey.

Dress is formal, there will be masks, and I expect the both of you to attend.

And no is unacceptable.

Sarah, we should at least talk about this first. I've got a full schedule.

I'll see you both at 10 p.m. sharp.

So what's a floating orgy?

You know that guy Joseph from the club?

They're his favorite customer.

He organizes orgies.

Each time they're somewhat different.

So it's going to be here?

I knew I should have told her instead of you.

This is so messed up.

She's pissed.

This is her way of getting back.

I gotta go. I got rehearsal.

I guess I'll see you later.

Good.

David.

Hello.

Alex, what do you want?

I'm sorry.

I want to explain.

Alex, but I don't know. I promise you'll be interested in what I have to say.

Fine, I'm listening.

With someone I care about, I can't perform.

Like with my fiancé.

Or with you.

But just a few days ago, you didn't even know me.

I don't understand. I've never seen you. How more distant can we possibly be?

I was attracted to you the minute you walked into my house.

The more we talked, the more we shared, the more

difficult it became.

Alex, I just don't understand.

Please try.

I'm not sure if I can.

Experience the most sensual event of your life with complete strangers.

You're not sure if you can what?

Discrete but attractive participants needed to compliment an excursion into

the erotic.

Only the most open need apply.

Leave your inhibitions at the door.

Juliet?

Strangers.

What?

Um, Alex, there's something I need to do. I need to understand something.

And I gotta go. Bye.

Juliet? Juliet?

If there was ever a time to act on what I was feeling, I knew it was then.

In order to understand Alex, I knew I needed to experience sex with people

that I had no connection to.

Strangers.

I was excited about proving to myself I could go all the way.

That I could leave all my inhibitions out the door.

I knew it would be an experience I'd never forget.

I've been looking forward to meeting you, Miss Juliet.

And so are you, Joseph.

You're even lovelier up close.

So, Juliet, thank you for the use of your home.

Please enjoy yourself.

I think I will.

Yes, she is expectant.

Be patient, my dear.

Before you begin, you'll need one of these.

Allow me.

Mademoiselles, messieurs.

May I introduce Miss Juliette.

Be gentle with her.

It's her first time.

Thank you.

you

um oh

um um

Thank you.

We want to thank you.

Oh, excuse me? I don't get this.

We wanted to thank you for bringing us closer together.

I've realized I've never felt like this about anyone.

I want Sarah.

Oh, guys, I'm so happy for you. Come here.

So,

friends?

We never stopped.

A toast.

So,

what did you think about the orgy?

Well, as mind-blowing as it was, there was definitely a big drawback to it.

Really? Like what?

You know, sex with strangers was fun and exciting and all, but I guess I prefer

connection.

I just felt really, really lonely afterwards.

Hello? Yeah.

She's here. Hold on.

It's him.

Hello?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay, I'll be there.

Hello, Julia.

Hello, Alex.

I've been alone for a very long time.

I needed companionship, so I placed the ad.

You know, Alex, hiring call girls and hiding in a room is not companionship.

But I could pretend there was intimacy.

With you, I...

You

know, there's something missing between strangers.

Can I prove something to you?

You want to take me to your bedroom?

I've been here before See an open door And find a way

into your heart All you have inside

Is your sacrifice Just a way to make a start

Bye.

I don't want too much.

Just to feel your touch.

And a chance to make you mine.

Intimacy heightens all aspects of a relationship and is primarily

responsible for making sex an ecstatic experience as opposed to merely a

pleasurable one.

Intimacy is fostered by the ability of two people to be open and self

-disclosing, willing to expose their vulnerable inner selves coupled with

words and gestures of reassurance.

Add a dash of romance and you'll have the makings of sex that is ultimately

satisfying.

With growth and exploration, long-lasting.

So what do you think?

I think I have a brilliant therapist on my hand.

And I think her first client prescribes a private session.

Oh, you do, do you? You know, only doctors can write prescriptions. Is that

right? Yes.
