Song, "2 Wicky" by Hooverphonic

I recently watched Stealing Beauty again. Something in that movie haunts me... Maybe it's the complete frankness of Bertolluci's dealings with the main topic. Somehow, the subject of sexual preoccupation seems so relevant, especially in college. As the people around me focus on sex, I find it difficult to block it out of my life... yet in the movie, the Italian countryside setting creates an aura of serenity around the sexual experimentation, unlike anything I've felt here. This idealized version of reality just succeeds in making it feel even further from my grasp of understanding. What's true? What's fiction? How does love equate in the picture? I don't know... all I know is that I think I should just steer clear of this area for a while...Human sexuality just baffles me.
