be about the animals themselves but how it affects the view of their own sexuality. Is our desire for sex just a biological imperative?
Exploring not only the act of sex itself, but the mating rituals that surround it, the film allows its form as an overview of dozens of animal species to reveal innate patterns in animal behavior.

The question of pleasure is a distant question for almost every encounter depicted, and for most, the act of sexual intercourse is one of immense sacrifice and stringent competition. As self-centered as we are as a species, for most who watch the film, their overall conclusions will likely not be about the animals themselves but how it affects the view of their own sexuality.
