A few words about the film series

Sexual Communication is one of the most difficult issues within interpersonal sexual relations. Potentially wrong manipulations/ reactions may lead even to the end of a relationship. This series of six (6) films presents examples of both good and bad communication instances between sexual partners. The aim of the films is to give 'food for thought' to the viewer and stimulate thoughts that could lead to change of behaviors and attitudes for better communication between partners in the future.

Title: Sexual Preferences
Duration: 5:58min

Cast: Antonis Karayannis, Argyro Kourliti 

A few words about the story of the film: One of the main difficulties faced by couples in their sexual life is announcing their sexual preferences.

Communication techniques constitute a useful tool for avoiding misunderstandings and encouraging mutual understanding.
