Description: Dan's friend and colleague Bernie claims to have had a plethora of unusual sexual encounters, ranging from war-themed coitus to animal intercourse. When Dan meets, dates and moves in with the more down-to-earth Deborah, Bernie reckons it's only a matter of time before Dan gets bored - a view shared by Deborah's former flatmate, Joan. The fast-paced, forceful dialogue points to the city male's propensity for sexual exaggeration and the disturbing misogyny that underpins it.
