How to Have Sex

An original contemporary drama with no established characters to swap.

A female-centered coming-of-age story but no flawless girlboss or message vilifying men as a group.

The film centers on teenage girls' experiences with sexuality and consent; minor LGBTQ+ presence exists among the holiday group but it is not a central theme.

• Supporting characters' relationships within the group of friends

Casting reflects an ordinary contemporary British youth setting; nothing contradicts the world.

The film explores consent and the murkiness of sexual experience thematically, but it tells this through character and atmosphere rather than overt lecturing.

• The narrative centers on an ambiguous, non-consensual-feeling encounter and its emotional aftermath
• Focus on peer pressure around losing virginity

Male characters embody peer pressure and questionable behavior around consent, but the film frames it as situational rather than as an explicit anti-male message.

• A male love interest's pressuring behavior is a key dramatic element

Original screenplay with no source material.
