"I Want Your Sex" is a comedy from director Gregg Araki in which a prominent artist seduces her young assistant into a kinky arrangement while examining generational differences in sexual attitudes. Rather than serving as a serious exploration of BDSM dynamics, the film uses provocative premises to contrast the sex-positive outlook of millennials against what it portrays as the sexual hesitation of younger generations.

Despite its suggestive elements and explicit props, the film contains surprisingly minimal sexual content and instead functions as a screwball comedy, succeeding through Wilde's comedic performance and rapid-fire dialogue rather than erotic sequences. Drawing on classic Hollywood conventions, including references to "Sunset Boulevard" and Katharine Hepburn-style comedies, the film emphasises witty banter and comedy-of-manners exchanges. The underlying message promotes an approach to sexuality that prioritises consent and playfulness over traditional anxiety or prohibition.
