Plot summary

The Dilemma of Desire explores the work of four women who are shattering myths and lies that women are being told about their sexual desire and their bodies. Coined by artist Sophia Wallace, “Cliteracy” is the understanding that the clitoris is fundamental to the female orgasm. Through her art, Wallace is changing culture. Dr. Stacey Dutton, a neuroscientist, studies the biology of the clitoris; Dr. Lisa Diamond is dismantling outdated notions about women’s arousal; and Ti Chang, an industrial designer, creates elegant vibrators for women. Providing the embodiment of their work are the real life stories of Umnia, Becca, Jasmine, Sunny, and Coriama.

The clash between gender politics and what’s considered

The clash between gender politics and what’s considered to be the social norm is given a fresh spin in “The Dilemma of Desire,” director Maria Finitzo’s rebellious documentary that explores the work of four outspoken women who are shattering myths about female sexuality and eroticism. Through the eyes of an artist who creates works based on the female anatomy, an industrial designer who constructs vibrators, a neuroscientist who studies the biology of the clitoris, and a psychologist working to dismantle outdated notions about women’s arousal, the film will empower women by encouraging them to take control of their sexuality by speaking out, standing up, and to stop being ashamed. This is a good looking and well-crafted documentary. Beautiful graphics and animation add to the story, and scenes of a group of regular women sitting around and chatting in a circle of friends gives it a homey, authentic feel. The subject matter ranges from enjoyable (the tale of a woman with a strict upbringing who now works as a successful stripper) to alarming (a horrifying segment where women describe their rapes in great detail, in their own voices). There’s no sugar coating topics like the harmful treatment of women in the world’s major religions, the grossly unbalanced sex education courses currently being taught in classrooms, and the widespread violence against females that range from unwelcome catcalls on a city street to being treated like second-class citizens in the workplace. Many still don’t seem to understand the reality of the obstacles women face in their everyday lives, and this documentary will hopefully serve as a social tool to educate, anger, and inspire.

Thank you Sophia Wallace

I can't believe I am 40 and just learned I need a solid gold clit shirt. The anatomy disparity in the textbooks is BS and we need our ladies to know their worth and their parts. I will be ordering merchandise as soon as it's not sold out. I love the anatomy of the clitoris and can't wait to teach other women what I have learned. Great job on this film, everyone included.
