Five couples explore the delights and disappointments of their sex lives. Whether they are the first two people on Earth or the last two, modern partners with shifting needs, exes on the eve of a life-altering event or twelfth-century pen pals, following their most natural desires uncovers truths about their humanity. Altogether, Five Times in One Night is a hilarious examination of intimacy through the ages.
