...parents. So infertility is bound to increase, and with it the demand for IVF. Add to this the demand from gay men and women and from those with private eugenic motives--ranging from not wanting to pass on inherited disease to wanting taller or smarter or prettier children--and sexless reproduction is bound to spread...
...Adamson and Marie Larkin move carefully around their disgustingly perfect home (constructed with aggravating blandness--lemon yellow sofa draping and all--by stage designer Jeff Gardiner) pouring drinks for one another and speaking in formal semi-monotones. They love each other, or so they claim, but their marriage is sexless. It is only when they meet in secret during the day, Barlow disguised as a rogue lover and Marie playing the part of the adulterous housewife, that they can be passionate. Pinter's play is a profound statement on the carefully constructed lies that often pass for love, and unfortunately...
...little girl, a sexless kid, I never considered that my gender would factor into my life except in clothing decisions and prom dates. I see now how every decision I make is affected by my being a woman, how it affects my place at this school, on this planet, and in my mind.

It has also enabled the writers to develop the wonderful bipolar characters of straitlaced Will and his unapologetically flaming pal Jack...
...with the scraggliest wigs, worst make-up, and dowdiest clothes in greater New York City. They look awful, and it looks fantastic. You can practically savor Diaz's joy at proving that she's a "real" actress and not just another pretty face. Craig and Lotte are an absurd, sexless married couple - pet store junkie and street puppeteer - fighting for the affections of mean, unattainable Maxine (Catherine Keener). The world they exist in at first resembles the Kafkaesque wilds of a Terry Gilliam creation. Nimble-fingered Cusack, for instance, gets a job manning file cabinets on the 7 1/2th floor...
