Helen and Red, married 71 years, relax in their bed as she talks about sex.
Margie explains she left her husband for Linda, her soul mate. Leon talks about being "polyamorous," and Blanca, snuggling into him, talks about being monogamous.
Seven more couples are featured in Philippa Robinson's "Americans in Bed," airing Monday, Aug. 12, on HBO. It's an interesting look at people talking about their relationships, love and sex all from the privacy of their beds.
Incidentally, no sex is shown; it's far more intimate than that.
Everyone faces the camera, on his or her side of the bed, and answers questions that are not heard on-screen. The film is careful to cover a range of ethnicities, ages and sexual orientations.
There's an honesty that comes from people talking in the comfort of their beds. And it's pretty evident that a few women say more than their husbands would have preferred.
