Should have included married and 40+ women
rasikararaja25 January 2021
I came across this documentary by accident and come to understand that women no matter in which country/culture they grow up have the same issues. The one issue I found with this documentary is the women who have participated, 90% of them are Lesbians. I would have wished it to keep 50-50 of straight and gay women. Also missing are women who are married and had kids and also women who have reached the age of Menopause. I always say that by giving ability to men to have sex at any age God has cursed them. The reason is, God deprived women of that ability by giving her a thing called Menopause after which majority of the women desist Sex .

Insightful

I really enjoyed Venus. As a man, it was interesting to hear women speak candidly about the pressure to be beautiful and moderate their sexuality-which is totally unfair and oppressive. All women are beautiful in their own way, in my humble opinion. This documentary is insightful and i hope men will view it and try to understand and try to please women as much as theu sometimes try to please us.

Compelling viewing

I stumbled into this as a free view on Amazon, and I'm so grateful that I did. This is a completely compelling documentary by interviewers who know when to be quiet. Although the topic for discussion is tightly themed on eroticism I found this captivating me in exactly the same was as the Finnish documentary 'Steam of Life'. The subjects offer the same candour, and many give gripping monologues. A remarkable piece of film making.

A Near-Perfect Documentary of The Female Psyche
tomhillsfca27 January 2021
I'm an older guy... been married twice... and have raised three girls. This film summed up everything for me, and my experience/observation of women. The future is FEMALE! I hope the brave young women who paticipated in this film know how truly amazing they are.

I was gripped!

Beautiful, fragile honest take on young women's attitudes and experience of sex and their sex. I would love to see this format rolled out to women of all generations to expose the biases, insecurities and battles we all face as part of life abd potentially are not aware of until after they cause distress

Confused & Hurt
Johnny_West11 January 2021
The film trailer states that one hundred women were asked to participate, but only about twenty actually showed up. The ladies are asked to explain how they lost their virginity or something similar. Most of them looked uncomfortable and unprepared to spontaneously share something very personal. Each lady was standing alone in a small room, and some were given a cheap breakfast table chair to sit on.

In the last twenty minutes, the ladies are revisited, and each one takes off her clothes, and tries to pose in a sexy manner. Most of them looked like deer in the headlights. It was sad.

I felt like these ladies were victims of a low-budget production that exploited them. They were treated like a herd of animals. Their stories were exposed, but not explored.

Wonderful Documentary
DavoZed29 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I ran across this film on one of the streaming services that I subscribe to.

I wasn't sure what to think but I came here and saw the reviews and decided to take a chance on it.

It offers remarkable insights into the thinking and experiences of young women who are having sex.

I am a beyond middle aged male and I would have welcomed the information in this film, in order to be a better partner for the women I have known.

The filmmakers did a very good job of keeping the film's dialogue within a range that should be tolerable for most viewers, including older teenagers.

The female participants are very honest and frank and held very little back. Their participation is remarkable and admirable.

The last 10 - 15 minutes of the film involves considerable nudity. It is all in one piece at the very end of the film.

I would say that it didn't add anything of significance to the film and can be skipped if a viewer doesn't want to see it.
