Sex, Intimacy, and Calling Bullshit on 'Healthy But Sexless' Relationships

At 1:28:50 · chapter starts 1:26:20

Cooper asks Wilde to break down the film's treatment of sex, particularly the scene where Seth Rogen's character says his wife is 'supposed to be attracted to him' without any participation in earning that attraction. Wilde says that line made the veins pop in her neck because it captures a fundamental entitlement: expecting desire without doing the work to cultivate it. She and Rogen both felt strongly during filming that sex matters — it's the primary venue for nonverbal trust, vulnerability, and communication in a relationship. If a couple has stopped having sex, the question isn't about frequency but about what deeper conversation is being avoided. She calls bullshit on the 'healthy but sexless' claim, while clarifying she's not prescribing a Cosmo quiz number of times per month.
