If we have two consenting adults they can do whatever they like and I approve of all sexual practices. At the risk of sounding like some conservative, I have to say that when it comes to sex there is no abnormal behavior. These are questions regarding morality, sexual harassment, exploitation, and perception of sexuality. ![]() I have so many questions about Secretary and how it looks now, twenty years later. It’s a double character study, both of the on-screen characters and those who have written the script. If you find it too tedious or contrived, just go under the story.

I’ve known about this supposed erotic thriller with an intriguing title Secretary for quite some time now.
