The 40-Year-Old Virgin

23 January 2010

image The trailer was a lot funnier than the whole film that was only mildly amusing.  The subject, of course, is serious. Human beings are designed to have sex but some people are extremely shy and lack social skills to hook up. The entire premise of the film that at age forty you can lose your virginity strikes me as highly unlikely. I once met a 65-year-old virgin who shared with me his philosophy of sex. I came away with the view that once he had hit forty, his chance of losing his virginity had dropped to virtually zero. That is why he was still a virgin at 65. Yes, the tagline of the film is correct: “The longer you wait, the harder it gets.” The film felt too constructed because the hero gets lucky in the end. I don’t think that life is that kind for most 40-year-old virgins.
