Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) is a 1972 movie directed and written by Woody Allen. The film is based on the popular book of the same name by Dr. David Reuben that offered an informative but humorous approach to discussing human sexuality. The movie is a series of seven vignettes, each exploring a different aspect of human sexuality. Each vignette is presented in a comedic and satirical way and is introduced by a fake doctor who seeks to educate the audience about the topic at hand.

The first vignette, "Do Aphrodisiacs Work?" is set in ancient times and explores the use of food and other substances to increase sexual desire. Woody Allen plays a court jester who is tasked with testing various aphrodisiacs to see if they work. The result is a hilarious and absurd sequence that pokes fun at human sexuality and the use of unconventional remedies.

The second vignette, "What is Sodomy?" features Gene Wilder as a hapless doctor who falls in love with a sheep, leading to a series of misunderstandings and hilarious situation. The episode uses absurdist comedy to address the taboo topic of homosexuality and same-sex relationships.

The third vignette, "Why do Some Women Have Trouble Reaching Orgasm?" features Louise Lasser as a woman who is unable to achieve an orgasm no matter what she does. She seeks the help of a pompous psychiatrist played by Allen, leading to a series of absurd and ultimately unsuccessful treatments.

The fourth vignette, "Are Transvestites Homosexuals?" explores the world of cross-dressing and gender identity. Allen plays a man who discovers that his girlfriend is a cross-dresser, leading to a series of misunderstandings and comedic situations.

The fifth vignette, "What are Sex Perverts?" is a sketch that uses parody to ridicule the hypocritical attitudes towards sexuality of some parts of society. This brief episode features Allen as a man seeking therapy for his unusual sexual desires, and a friend who tries to help him understand and accept his sexuality.

The sixth vignette, "Why Do Men have Nipples?" is a quick and amusing sketch that plays with the question of why men have a part of the body that is primarily associated with female sexuality.

The final and most ambitious vignette is "What Happens During Ejaculation?" It is a provocative and visually striking sequence that takes place inside a man's body during an active sexual encounter. The sequence is imaginative and artistic, with beautifully crafted sets and a strange, dream-like atmosphere. Allen himself provided the voice of the man, as well as his cells, organs and other aspects of his physiology.

Overall, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* is a fascinating and thoroughly entertaining comedy that not only entertains its audience but also manages to provide insights into sex and sexuality in a way that is informative and accessible to all. The memorable cast includes Woody Allen, Gene Wilder, Louise Lasser, as well as Burt Reynolds, Jack Barry, and Tony Randall. The movie is a bold and daring look at sex that tackles a wide range of taboos and is still relevant and eye-opening today, almost fifty years after its release.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* is a 1972 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 27 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.7 and a MetaScore of 66.
