DAY 324: QUICKIE TUESDAY
Movie Quickies #4: Unfaithful

Film as foreplay. It’s easy, fun, and so relaxing. No pressure. You lie in bed together, watching the movie, perhaps drifting in and out of sleep and slipping in and out of erotic contact. Stroke, kiss, doze—and suddenly the sexy part has you.

Unfaithful, which came out in 2002, is Diane Lane’s movie. Richard Gere plays her husband and Olivier Martinez, her lover—but it’s her sexiest film. In her first illicit sex scene, she sways her hips to African music in a Soho apartment. Frightened by the intensity of her desire for a stranger, she runs out—but runs back because she’s forgotten her coat. A shot of her naked in his bed, her belly trembling as he touches her thighs, is so arousing, you forget to breathe.

As you’re watching the film, imagine what it would feel like to be the cheating wife or the cuckolded husband. Play with those ideas in your mind. Let the tension build.

Tease each other with unfamiliar strokes. If he does not usually lick her inner thighs or her instep or pull her hair, he should do these things now. Come together in an intense kiss, your intensity fueled by the fantasy of being caught in a love triangle.
