Dying For Sex. A great Hulu Recommendation

[LMWM321]

Dying for Sex. Streaming now on Hulu. Based on a true story.

My wife and I watched this and loved it. Michelle Williams stars as a 30-something married woman who thought she had beaten breast cancer only to learn, years later, that it has spread, leaving her with very little time left.

Since her mastectomy three years earlier, her douchebag husband hasn't had sex with her despite her near constant pleas for his affection. Why? Because he's turned off by her body since her surgery and now see's her more as a frail patient than the beautiful person she continues to be.

Now, with so little time left, she decides to leave her husband to make up for the sex she wasn't having while married, the sex she'll never get to have after she dies, and a yearning to assert her power over intrusive memories of being sexually abused as a child.

It's hilarious and gut-wrenching and serves as a compelling reminder to all that life is short and sex is a joyful and important part of it. ...So, you'd better get all you can while you can.

It's a must see for Lit fans, I think...

loved loved loved it!!!!!

Great!! Me too!

..So, maybe tell us why you liked it so much??

 

[Ssbbw4u1974]

I enjoyed that she took control of her wants and needs, after going her whole adult life being a people pleaser in the bedroom...

And after finding what she wants most, she was finally able to trust a person sexually enough to let go... And climax with him...

And her friendship with her BFF was very important... And inspirational..

And her friendship with her BFF was very important... And inspirational..

Spot on... Molly and Nikki's friendship is breathtaking. ..The whole show was just awesome. Right up to the closing Iris Dement song.

And the show does a great job of humanizing the "kink" world. ..Makes it very relatable.

Michelle Williams should be a shoe in for an Emmy Award.

Anyone else here watch it? I'm a bit surprised there aren't more comments about it.

Oh, maybe I should have mentioned... There is a Golden Shower scene, a Ball-caging scene, a Dick Kicking scene and several orgasm denial scenes.... (yes, seriously)

Maybe that will get more Lit members to watch and comment.

Yes it is a good series and look into how fucked-up our real life affects our sex life. I wasn't too much interested in some of the kinks but not shocked about them either.
Strange how the husband "Steve" just accepted the situation.

Biggest lesson was how fucked medical care is in this country.

Loved loved loved this series. Sure, the title says "Dying For Sex," but I'm not sure I've seen anything else that deals with love, friendship, human frailty, human need, human desire, cerebral liberation, and, yes, impending death quite as effectively as this series. Highly recommend! Michelle Williams is transcendent.

I think I’d enjoy it but it’s unlikely I could get my wife to watch as she hates movies where the star/heroine dies.

My wife and I will sometimes turn our nose up at a series the other wants to watch, but then get swept up in it after catching a few scenes when we come into the room.

It’s that kind of a series. Nearly every scene draws you in.

Plus, she could just miss the last episode.

I binged it in two sessions. It was so compelling and very amusing in spite of the fact that you know the lead is going to die.

I told my girlfriend that the name of one of the episodes is "Topping is a Sacred Skill". She is my beautiful top girl so we laughed about that.

There are other movies that follow a very similar plot line that are better done. (One based in South America. The title of the movie starts with !Y…something.). After spending the last few years supporting a wife with cancer, dealing wjth a dead bedroom, and a divorce, this just hits too close to home for me.

It could be one called "Y tu mamá también" - well worth a watch

That's a wonderful movie.

Yep! That’s it. Thanks.

Not sure exactly why, but loved the scene where the young man is in the diving board and masterbates into the pool, and they show the cum from under the water. Was a great shot.

Or even the audio to the scene where the young man went to the store to buy skme
Liver for dinner, and masterbated with the liver on the way home. The audio of the fapping was spot-on. : ). Then they show the dinner scene where everyone is eating liver at dinner.

I haven’t finished it yet, but love it so far. I have laughed and cried and been aroused at different times. Don’t love all of the kink (Please don’t ever kick someone there ). But the power dynamics are interesting for sure. I’ll try and finish it. I think my wife gave up on it .

 

[LMWM321]

I think my wife gave up on it .

Care to share why? Why didn’t she like about it?

 

[FistfulOfMyHair]

Can’t remember exactly what she said other than it was heavy, which it is. I’ll revisit that conversation and get back to you.

 

[Not Normal]

We both enjoyed the series. The casting and writing were perfectly intertwined.
