The Sexaholic is an interesting dive into the complexities of sexual addiction, even if the director remains a mystery. The film unfolds in a group therapy setting, which gives it this raw, often uncomfortable vibe. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that awkwardness plays into the theme of vulnerability. There’s a notable focus on the characters’ personal struggles – one guy is all about sodomy, while another is chasing the thrill of quantity. The performances have a certain authenticity, raw but not overdone, allowing for a genuine exploration of taboo topics. It’s a niche film that captures a specific era's sensibilities, not easily found in the average collection.
The Sexaholic has a bit of a cult following, particularly among those interested in the fringes of 80s cinema that tackle taboo subjects. It’s not widely available, making it a bit of a treasure hunt for collectors. Various formats have popped up, but they often go under the radar, so snagging a copy is becoming rarer. It fits well into discussions about sexploitation films, albeit with a more serious undertone.
