Movies nowadays have too much sex in them.
Or, maybe, movies nowadays don’t have as much sex as they used to.
If you’ve been online for the past few years, you’ve certainly seen this discussion flying around.

These moments can’t be considered sex scenes, but they are still full of horniness.
However, the movie isn’t concerned with this affair.
Instead, Wong Kar-wai focuses his lenses on another relationship, an unconsummated one.

Or maybe it is a consummated relationship, after all.
It’s hard to tell, as the director makes no effort to clear things up in that sense.
And, in the end, it doesn’t matter.
Li-zhen and Mo-wan’s bond is sexual even if they don’t sleep with each other.
Li-zhen and Mo-wan’s love flourishes in the spaces left empty by their cheating spouses.
Seemingly seizing the opportunity,Mo-wan holds Li-zhen’s hand oh-so-lightly and asks her out.
As Mr. Chow pulls his hand away, it is Li-zhen’s turn to toy with Mo-wan’s jacket.
However, it is also brilliant because of how sexy it is.
It’s a thing of beauty, and also a thing of unmitigated horniness.
Now, will that horniness be acted on?
Well, that is up for interpretation.
