This was playing in limited release in Los Angeles and New York to qualify for awards, so I got to see a screening of it, and I am so glad i can now get it on DVD. the whole audience was crying and laughing, and for good reason. It's the MOST ROMANTIC movie i have seen in years without being sappy. You have to watch it to understand. absolutely the best VALENTINE'S DAY gift ever. the only thing i didn't like so much in the film was the hand/held camera work, which on a big screen makes me a bit dizzy. (okay, so maybe i am dizzy already, haha). But the acting & writing was GREAT.

A friend recommended this movie highly and I was highly skeptical - but she kept pestering me to see it - and wow, was I suprised... This is a true indie gem - it's a great movie - the emotional intelligence and depth is at the level of top Oscar winning films! A film that I loved that it reminded me of was "Closer" though "Strictly Sexual" is much lighter and funnier - but just as affecting... I can't believe that this movie was not in the theaters - it's so good...

Best love story since "The Notebook". Also very funny. At first you think it's sort of like "Sex & The City", which is kind of is as far as the women are the main characters, but it goes from being ha-ha funny to man-that-happened-to-me-too! type of funny. if you want to have the girls over for a good cry, rent this. or you can watch it with your boyrfriend, the movie has a good job of showing the men's point of view on things. Loved it!!!!

This story was written by and starred Indie film writer Stevie Long. If you like the concept of two girl friends meeting two guy friends, and experimenting with meaningless sex and casual nonchalant behavior because of it, then you will enjoy this film.

These girls have no interest in having a real relationship with any guy, but they still want sex and they want to have it as a needed pass time, not as a loving relationship, but that's not how it turns out. Emotions get in the way and that causes them to actually discuss their feelings, which ruins everything for one couple, but blossoms into something special for the other couple.

One girl (Amber Benson) loves wild and carnivorous sex, while the other girl (Kristen Kerr) is more shy and inhibited. Of the guys, one guy (Stevie Long, this story's writer) feels compelled to insult women and yet that seems to make his girl more wild and horny. While the other guy (Johann Urb), the nice guy (the mistake most of us guys make being) is more patient with his more hesitant shyer girl and yet their relationship grows into something more strong and meaningful. I don't think anybody here wanted to fall in love, but how cold, shallow, and disconcerting can you be if you continually keep the same person as your only sexual encounter?

I liked how the shy girl starts to realize her own need for sexual spontaneity, as the best scene (to me) is when they were in the car and she decided to just go down on him because her sexual yearnings were becoming more prevalent. She just had a great day at work, and so she wanted to reward herself with something sexual in the car, right away. That was very cute.

This was a great film. Even the deleted scenes (as an extra in the special features) offers some valuable dialogue about what everyone's feelings were about with their unique fabricated sexual situation with each other. I would buy this film if I found it cheaper (or used) because I think it's a great movie to follow the film "Sideways" (which actually impressed me less).

It's definitely worth renting once. Check it out.

Like I said, this flick was surprisingly loveable. Hilarious, yet soulful, I thought it offered a very sweetly unique perspective on love and relationships.

saw this at Cannes filmfest last year, loved it then, so just bought DVD. commentary track was as funny as the movie. if you like indie movies, you will love this movie. if you want to see formulaic studio fare, rent something else. essentially, this film is about intimacy, and how we falsely think nakedness and sharing our 'private parts' consitute intimacy, when, in fact, that is hardly true. strongly reccomend to anyone who wants to see a brutally authentic film about the meaning of sex, and it's often forgotten partner, love.

I discovered this movie on hulu of all places and i thought this would be an interesting movie to pass the time with because i was bored, and when i got finished watching it, i was glad i did because i really enjoyed it. It's not your typical romantic comedy a.k.a "chick flick" that you'll see at the theater, it was deeper than that. It was more real, with real people and real relationships; and at the end it wasn't the typical happy ending, which is good because that crap can get boring real fast. It is definitely something that i am going to buy on DVD and have my boyfriend watch with me.

Not a Hollywood blockbuster, but well worth watching and enjoying.

I went to HULU to look for a movie to watch tonight, which happened to be Halloween night. It seemed that there were mostly scary movies available, but I wasn't in that kind of mood. I read a brief description about this movie "Strictly Sexual," and noticed that it was a comedy with a sexual theme. I thought that was rather novel (for me), so I checked it out. I felt turned off by the characters at first, but was taken in by the second or third scene, as the characters developed with the help of their partners and best friends, respectively. Overall, I think the story was sensitive and sensible and worth my time. The acting wasn't great, but it was perfect for this movie. I was happy to discover later, that the actor who played Stanny (Stevie Long), was also the writer. Way to go and thank you Stevie!

This was a fun movie to watch. Interesting storyline and characters that I could relate to. Sort of like the LA version of sex and the city.

I thought this movie was going to border on pornography at first, but I was surprised to find how sweet, clever and interesting it was. This is not your average chick-flick love story. I watched it alone the first time and loved it so much I had to watch it again with my husband who also enjoyed it. It's got some hilarious one-liners and some very poignant moments as well. The acting isn't bad either.
