HE WANTS TO KNOW MY NUMBER, 4min,. USA
Directed by Sakinah Iman
Science has proven that [due to dopamine and serotonin levels in the male and female brain] women actually need to have [TWICE AS MUCH] sex as men.” Yet in 2021, there is still this huge double standard on male and female sexuality. Women are still being slut-shamed and ridiculed for being absolutely normal human beings. Sakinah Iman created this powerful and provocative piece to express her take on the issue of Sex and Promiscuity in this day and age.
