Dear dpg, Currently, I am picturing the widow her as younger than her husband--late 40's early 50's.

The simplest way to describe this screenplay is an exploration of sex and death for the 60-something set.

The simplest way to describe this screenplay is an exploration of sex and death for the 60-something set. With the baby-boomer generation a large portion of the movie audience, at least in the US, I think there could be a strong market for this story.
I chose the title to describe a feeling of being vulnerable and exposed. Your reaction that it might imply an edgy comedy is very helpful. When the two main characters start their sexual adventures, it might appear to be a comedy. It could be interesting for the audience to play against that expectation.
Why does she choose a man she hates? Jenny is a devoted wife who is devastated by the death of her husband Sam. His loss is unbearable and she is looking for an escape from the pain. There are lots of ways to do this, of course, drugs, booze, etc. I thought it would be interesting if she chose sex as her drug of choice.
The womanizer in the logline is John, a friend of her husband, who has the reputation of being a commitment-phobic but very talented lover. John gets drunk at Jenny and Sam?s wedding, makes a sexual and inappropriate toast and Jenny never forgives him. Jenny hates John because he is the exact opposite of her kind, supportive husband.
Jenny finds herself in an impossible situation. She is a faithful wife who needs sex to handle the pain of his death. Somehow, she has to be faithfully unfaithful to her dead husband. Her solution is to choose someone she does not love who is just in it for the sex.
What happens after all the sex? Like any drug, it fixes the situation in the short term but becomes a problem in and of itself as its effects inevitably wear off. Jenny keeps bumping into memories of her husband that require riskier sexual adventures to make them go away. The stakes are raised when John finds himself falling in love with Jenny. Ultimately, it is a relationship doomed to failure. When it ends, Jenny is forced to finally to deal with the pain of Sam?s death but finds, unexpectedly, that she and John formed a bond that allows John to become a more loving human being and Jenny to move on with her life.
I look forward your suggestions for changes to the logline.
