The tiny lives of Danny Shapiro, Bernie Litko, Deborah Solomon and Joan Webber unfold like used cocktail napkins seeped in ritualized sexual juices at the bottom of a human sink. They go to single bars, they talk about sex as if it were running for president, they talk dirty in bed ("cum tastes like the junior prom...it smells like clorox but it tastes like the junior prom,") and they comment on the sexual revolution ("what do you think this is, the past...
