Plot

[edit]
  1. Christopher and Leslie are a couple in their mid to late 20s who have no-strings-attached sex regularly. After another get-together, they debate and argue over the meaning of their relationship and the nature of sex vs. love, with each of them claiming that the other is the only one developing feelings before both finally say "I love you" to each other.
  2. Freddy and Jay are a pair of college guys who, after having sex, argue over Jay refusing to admit that he is gay until Freddy tells him about his teenage years of hiding his homosexuality out of fear of being shunned, and tells Jay that he cannot be honest with others about his sexual orientation before he is honest with himself.
  3. Kristy and Sam are a teenaged couple, both of whom have just had sex for the first time in Kristy's bedroom, and after some small talk, Sam has to hide when Kristy's mother, Janet, shows up for a talk about sex with Kristy.
  4. Nikki and Kat are two college roommates who are in a casual sexual relationship where Nikki allows Kat to perform oral sex on her, but insists that she is not a lesbian and only likes the oral sex because Kat performs it better than a guy. During their visit to the campus library, Kat admits to Nikki that she really is a lesbian, but is comfortable with hiding the fact from her strict parents.
  5. Trudy and Gene are middle-aged, interracial couple who have sex in a nature park, and during the walk back, talk about how they first met at an orgy during the "sexual revolution" of the 1970s and about their children who seem not to understand their active sexual lifestyle.
  6. Neil and Bob are a closeted 30-something gay couple who have sex in Neil's apartment. Afterwards, Neil drives Bob home to his house, where during the drive, they discuss their roles as gay men in a relationship and who is the "butch" and the "bitch", since they both have different backgrounds and careers. The next day, Neil is revealed as the lead singer in a hair metal band, and Bob is a high school football coach.
  7. David and Jordy are a former couple who have met at a cheap motel for sex where David defends his infidelity and womanizing as the person that he is, while Jordy cannot seem to let go of her ex, despite her knowledge of his unapologetic cheating.
  8. Marco and Alanna are two strangers who have sex after meeting at a nightclub; later, they arrive in Marco's loft, where they learn more about each other, but Marco is soon disturbed by the dull-witted Alanna's admission of being a high-priced escort and of her love for sex with strangers for money.
