How To Have Sex (15): Terrifying tales from (for me) an alien world.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “How to Have Sex” (2023). “How to have sex ” is not the instructional film that the title might imply! We delve into (in my view) the horrendous world of booze-fuelled teenage holidays (what I used to know as Club 18-30 holidays). I just checked and Club 18-30 came … Read more
