Lotta People Out There Having Sex
…But it most certainly is NOT Me
There’s a great line in the movie The Big Chill (1983) which involves a group of once-close friends gathering for the funeral of a one of their college buddies. That friend was Alex. Alex was Kevin Costner’s first movie role, but all we see of him is his slashed wrists in the casket. Over the course of the weekend, the friends assess their lives, their progress (or lack thereof), men, women, success (or lack thereof), life, and they mate.
At one point, Jeff Goldblum’s character comments,
“I must tell you, I’m picking up vibrations here at the house. I’m almost certain there’s sex going on around here.”

Whole lotta sex going on right now, and none of it involves me. To that:
