My Awkward Sexual Adventure is a 2012 Canadian sex comedy starring Vik Sahay and Jonas Chernick.
When uptight accountant Jordan Abrams proposes marriage to his life-long soul mate Rachel, she finally reveals the painful truth: he’s terrible in bed. Frustrated and deeply unsatisfied, Rachel dumps him, and Jordan embarks on a desperate mission to seek some much-needed sexual experience and acquire some basic requisite skills. Committed to doing whatever it takes to win Rachel back, Jordan enlists the guidance of Julia – a sexually liberated but emotionally guarded exotic dancer – who leads him into an unfamiliar world of strip clubs, sensual massage parlors, cross-dressing and S & M. My Awkward Sexual Adventure is a fun, sexy and ultimately charming comedy.

Review
“…A movie like this could swing either way. The sex comedy is a fickle beast, and the membrane between entertaining and stupid is thin indeed. Despite a formulaic story (screenplay written by lead actor Jonas Chernick), My Awkward Sexual Adventure is mostly entertaining. The script doesn't go for the obvious jokes., instead opting for a clinical vivisection of the various hang-ups and neuroses that might lead a 21st century male to be bad in bed…it's funny, and not stupid, which seems like a notable accomplishment. The Toronto International Film Festival just voted My Awkward Sexual Adventure as one of Canada's Top Ten of 2012, where it sits awkwardly next to great films like Rebelle and Stories We Tell. I'm not sure that I'd go that far, but I did have a good laugh.” quietearth
