I found reactions from those who saw this film very peculiar and interesting - it could even make for a great psychological study! Firstly, most critics seemed to completely miss the clear theme of the film. It was not a film about males and females revealing secrets about each other or a comedy about human sexuality. This was a film about the decline of the Roman Empire of today, shown through the harms of promiscuity, especially in its cause of the disintegration of the family unit. Those who did recognise this, while wholly willing to watch and enjoy films which glorify adultery, commented that this film, which but condemned it, was harmful to watch! For those with insight, this was an effectively disturbing film.
