Plot
In an unnamed American city, two middle-class couples deal with their unhappy relationships by experimenting with adultery. Jerry is a neurotic, self-obsessed college drama professor whose live-in girlfriend Terri, a copywriter for tampon boxes, is unsatisfied by their relationship due to his penchant for talking during sex. Mary, a freelance writer friend of Terri's, is married to Jerry's best friend Barry, a business executive who feels that no one can satisfy him sexually more than himself and is oblivious to Mary's sexual frustration.
