Gregg Araki's Film 'I Want Your Sex' Explores Modern Sexuality

Gregg Araki’s new film *I Want Your Sex* follows the relationship between avant‑garde artist Erika (Olivia Wilde) and her submissive assistant Elliot (Cooper Hoffman). Set in a contemporary art world, the story examines sexual vulnerability and the search for purpose among a generation that often overlooks sex as a natural desire.

The film highlights distinctive visual details, such as Hoffman’s gold hoop earring and hand‑tattoos, which Araki says mirror his own youthful experimentation. Wilde’s character uses provocative performance art to push Elliot’s boundaries, while the narrative reflects broader cultural shifts in how younger people perceive intimacy and self‑expression.
