More Detail:
SHORTBUS is an extremely perverted drama that explores the sexual problems of several neurotic New Yorkers.
Sofia (Sook-Yin Lee) is a couples therapist who counsels a number of distraught and sexually frustrated couples. Her clients include homosexual couple James (Paul Dawson) and Jamie (PJ DeBoy), who have been together for several years but are becoming disenchanted with their relationship. During a session, Sofia accidentally mentions her own embarrassing problem – she has never had an orgasm. Her clients invite her to a “Shortbus Party,” a celebration of “sexual discovery” in which people talk about sex and participate in large group orgies. As Sofia begins attending these parties, the movie follows the continuing exploits of James and Jamie, as well as her quest to finally have an orgasm.
