The message of this story in the eyes of the script writer is clear: we should respect each other's sexual drives because there is no shame in it. And he expounds this through different storylines, including 2 married couples, a gay couple, cousins, and a woman who's getting married the day after.
The stories are narrated in an easygoing way sans truly dramatic high points. The viewer tries to understand each of the characters, and he/she decides whether the message resonates in each story. But it feels superficial and you don't feel connected.
The film, however, has to be commended for its attempt to present a ticklish issue. Self-discovery, if it comes, is good for one's personal growth.

No La Revolucion Sexual but it's fine
An R-rated version of Shortbus. It's impossible to reach total abandon like in that movie since the actors are quite well-known. The first name on the credit even didn't lose his clothing until the final and mid-credit scene.
Multiple plotlines don't reach its full potential even though it could. However the movie is still a good time, the movie feels effortless in what seems to be an awkward filming lol.

Let's talk about Sex baby
Let's talk about you and me ... let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be ... let's talk about ... well the more the merrier I reckon, yes? Because this movie is about intercourse ... it is about the most fun thing or pasttime we can have. Ok one of the most fun, I'm not trying to take anything away from any other fun activity you consider even a better use of your time.
That being said, there are a lot of taboos that are being touched upon here (no pun intended). And not just the obvious not being faithful to your partner - but also sexuality in itself. Like who loves whom - really inclusive. Not just heterosexual relationships then, but homosexual ones as well.
That may be something you do not want to engage on or with - and it is ok, if that is not something you want to see or deal with. As long as you are ok, with others doing what they love and not shaming anyone for anything. Add to that some humor and you could do worse ... this is fun. Despite some heavy themes ... and while it is quite sexual, I am not sure how titilating this will feel for some. It is more about furthering stories and getting somewhere with the characters it establishes, rather than ... coming (bad pun? Or along the humor of the movie? You decide)
