Sexually Frustrated Clerks

Clerks 2 is a film that was directed and produced by Kevin Smith, and was supposedly filmed because his friend Jason Mewes had gone to rehab to get his cocaine addiction under control. Almost every single actor that shows up in the film is a friend of Smith, and every single character has an "issue" that they try to deal with as the film progresses. The issues they face are those that are often seen in modern society. Randal, the best friend of the main character, is the sexually frustrated, racist, prejudiced, and, over all, the guy that everyone loves to love and hate. Many of his comments are cruel, harsh, and... true? One of the many sex conversations that takes place occurs in the sitting area of a restaurant. Randal is talking to his friend, Dante, about how young girls like to get into new, wild, and "kinky" things, such as the infamous "ass-to-mouth" incident. This sparks an argument between the two as to why anyone would do such a thing in the first place, but Randal argues that it isnt his idea, but instead, the idea of the young girls, who supposedly get their ideas from pornography. A later conversation takes place between Randal and Elias, a very religious and nerdy teenager, about the lack of sex in Elias's relationships. Elias gives the excuse that he and his "girlfriend" (we don't actually know if she exists) can't have sex, because of Pillowpants, the troll that won't allow the girl to have sex until she is 21 (women.... psh). Then there is Jay. The horniest man on Earth. That is all that really needs to be said about him. Through the conversations between the characters, we, the audience, get to see how males look at sexuality and how they might judge a woman on how she presents herself sexually. Randal tends to describe girls as more like a cam-whore, where as Elias see's women as people who are incapable of having sex. Innocense is bliss. However, if you live in this day and age, and are as clueless as Elias is, you might be in trouble as far as education goes. Sexuality is a major part of society, whether or not we choose to accept it. People are far more open about it than they were, say fifty years ago. Sex is seen in films (not counting pornography), posters and billboards, it's talked about in comedy acts, and is talked about openly by almost anybody of the younger generation. This piece of society is reflected in both Clerks and Clerks 2, but more prominently in Clerks 2 (it's more up to date). Clerks 2 is a great film and should be watched by everyone, if not for the content then just for the general story.
