WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Rattapallax, Inc. & Ram Devineni presents Sexual Healing, written and directed by Jonathan Leaf.
The play details the taboo experimentation and practices of a renowned sex researcher who conducted scientific research into human sexuality and oversaw the filming of hundreds of couples having intercourse thousands of times. Intellectually explicit, Sexual Healing spotlights the role sex played in divorce and the disintegration of the family unit. It tells the story of the development of various techniques for sexual arousal, the employment of surrogate wives, impotence and the "reprogramming" of homosexual men, prior to the American Psychological Association's decision to re-classify homosexuality from being a mental disorder.
The play includes nudity and adult themes concerning the treating of male sexual dysfunction.
