Venus

I stumbled into this as a free view on Amazon, and I'm so grateful that I did. This is a completely compelling documentary by interviewers who know when to be quiet. Although the topic for discussion is tightly themed on eroticism I found this captivating me in exactly the same was as the Finnish documentary 'Steam of Life'. The subjects offer the same candour, and many give gripping monologues. A remarkable piece of film making.

I'm an older guy... been married twice... and have raised three girls. This film summed up everything for me, and my experience/observation of women. The future is FEMALE! I hope the brave young women who paticipated in this film know how truly amazing they are.

Beautiful, fragile honest take on young women's attitudes and experience of sex and their sex. I would love to see this format rolled out to women of all generations to expose the biases, insecurities and battles we all face as part of life abd potentially are not aware of until after they cause distress

The film trailer states that one hundred women were asked to participate, but only about twenty actually showed up. The ladies are asked to explain how they lost their virginity or something similar. Most of them looked uncomfortable and unprepared to spontaneously share something very personal. Each lady was standing alone in a small room, and some were given a cheap breakfast table chair to sit on.

In the last twenty minutes, the ladies are revisited, and each one takes off her clothes, and tries to pose in a sexy manner. Most of them looked like deer in the headlights. It was sad.

I felt like these ladies were victims of a low-budget production that exploited them. They were treated like a herd of animals. Their stories were exposed, but not explored.

I came across this documentary by accident and come to understand that women no matter in which country/culture they grow up have the same issues. The one issue I found with this documentary is the women who have participated, 90% of them are Lesbians. I would have wished it to keep 50-50 of straight and gay women. Also missing are women who are married and had kids and also women who have reached the age of Menopause. I always say that by giving ability to men to have sex at any age God has cursed them. The reason is, God deprived women of that ability by giving her a thing called Menopause after which majority of the women desist Sex .
