Is Eyes Wide Shut by Stanley Kubrick an accurate portrayal of common male and female sex fantasies?

Submitted by Gloomy-Pineapple1729 t3_124yn6o in movies

Is it true that a lot of women fantasize about having sex with multiple men, and guys fantasize about having sex with prostitutes?

I’m basing this off the fact that in the movie the rich males including Tom Cruise try to have sex with female prostitutes, fulfilling their fantasies.

Whereas Nicole Kidman has dreams of having sex with a bunch of men.

I remember in an episode of The Danny Brown show he mentioned “In my interviewing b****** phase you won’t believe it. But a lot of women secretly want to get it on with multiple guys.” (Paraphrasing from what I remember).

I don't think you can generalize about any single fantasy that most people have. Sexuality is extremely diverse. People fantastize about all different things, and sexual preferences are very individual.

I also don't think it's particularly helpful to try to break it down along gender lines, either. Men, women, and everyone else all fantasize about all different things.

Missing the point of the film a bit there I think.

I've heard a saying once "Everything in life is about sex, except for sex, that's about power"

So far I have not found anything in life that contradicted this saying.

No, Nicole Kidman said all she wanted was that officer at the hotel and she would have got up and left Tom in a second. Tom's character was not looking to do anything with multiple women. He just invades the cool sex ceremony and is just a tourist until he gets nabbed.

Weird question.

Feels like it’s written by a virgin.

As a man or woman I do not fantasize about having sex with prostitutes but you do you.

It's about rich men living to excess because they can. Sure women can fantasize about multiple partners, but it's really about rich men indulging themselves in ways the rest of us can only dream of.

OP…after watching the film, why is that the question you are left asking yourself?

Fantasies are fantasies, right?

People seem to refuse this but Kubrick was a feminist and this showcased that.
