Do you want other people?

Sometimes I miss

flirting with other people.

Do you?

Part of me does, yeah.

Which part of you doesn't?

The part that's

afraid I'll lose you.

If you're honest with me,

you will never lose me.

Just have to be honest.

Yeah, let's be honest.

You can find best friends?

Yes.

On bum, what is man?

It seems a weird way

to start a friendship.

- Between guys.

I mean you can have sex.

I'm here with my girlfriend,

we kinda noticed

someone when we came

and we were kinda

talking about you outside

and then she kinda, she

told me to come over and

have a chat.

You came over here

because your girlfriend.

Yes, yes, that's correct.

Okay, cool.

Yeah of course.

You're very hidden away here.

Yeah I'm hiding.

From?

From everyone at the moment.

I'm not blending in.

Wow, okay.

Well thank you, enjoy the party!

Can I have a single cup of ice?

And you came with?

With Blake.

Oh, Blake!

My paralegal, she's great.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Were you surprised?

I wan surprised, yes.

I don't wanna seem ungrateful,

but I just came off

a 16 hour flight,

I'd love to be in bed.

You're like, grumpy.

Would you like some coffee?

Let's go and take a coffee.

If I was in mild peril,

and you turned up,

I'd be thrilled.

I'd be so happy with that.

Like, perfect, save the day.

I would be getting into

trouble purposefully.

'Cause you're like.

Do I look like a superhero?

You have the

presence of a superhero.

The presence of a--

I just meant the composure.

The composure and,

not like the presence.

The physique?

The physique as

well, yeah you're tall,

you could be a superhero.

I invent games.

I go into art

gallery or museums.

Yeah?

And then that's a play

I do with my boyfriend,

we have to choose

one piece of art and we

have to take it home.

I thought you came with Blake.

Yeah, I came with her.

I mean, she invited us.

Okay so, what would you take?

What would you take

from the kitchen?

- From this kitchen?

- Yeah.

The toaster.

Good choice.

Sorry.

- You go.

- Excuse us.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Hey!

Hey, what're you leaving?

Yeah we're leaving.

Well thanks for

helping me wake up.

No, thanks for the

party it was so good.

Yeah, thanks man.

- See you around.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- See ya later.

Did you like watching me?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah, did you want him?

I want you.

What do you want?

I want to watch you

get a lap dance from a stripper.

What do you want?

I wanna spy on you.

How?

I wanna watch you on a date.

Okay, this one.

Yeah.

Yeah?

He's handsome.

What do you wanna do?

What're we going to do now?

Take him to ours.

And then he put on a condom,

and he took me from behind.

Where?

Against the wall.

Did you cum?

No.

What else do you want?

I want a threesome.

With who?

You can choose.

How about Blake?

No friends.

It's complicated, friends.

Yeah okay, no friends.

- Open relationship.

- Open relationship.

And yes, this one?

Yes.

No.

No.

No.

Yes.

F*** yes.

What time is it?

Like 10:
30.

Is she breathing?

I'm being serious.

She hasn't moved for

like five minutes.

Oh, she's awake!

Repeat after me,

I promise to always push you.

I promise to always push you.

I promise to keep sending you

in new directions.

I'll keep sending

you in directions.

And never stop.

And never stop.

And to do it together.

And to do it together.

So the sacred cow

of the romantic ideal

is monogamy,

and the idea itself that

it could be negotiated

means already that

there's something missing.

The conversation

about infidelity

and the conversation

about open relationships

is not the same one.

Because the essence of

infidelity is secrets.

It's organized around a secret.

The concept of an

open relationship

is that your

explorations with others

are not secret

and that notion that when I go

to look for someone else,

it's not always because I

wanna get away from you,

it's because I wanna

get away from the person

that I have myself become.

And it's not that I want

to find somebody else,

but I want to find another self.

I think it's at the core

of a lot of affairs.

There are people

who are trying to

basically reconcile

two sets of values,

two fundamental

sets of human needs.

Is to have one relationship

in which with you I

can have the anchor

and the waves.

I can have the stability

and the security,
