Storyline
Elena, a 29-year-old virgin struggling with romantic confidence, seeks the help of Dr. Oliver Saxon, a sophisticated and handsome sex therapist. Through a series of unconventional exercises, including visualization and boundary-crossing role-play, Oliver pushes Elena to take control of her desires. However, the line between professional guidance and personal manipulation blurs when Elena discovers Oliver orchestrated a "spontaneous" encounter between her and another one of his patients, Teddy. The story explores themes of autonomy, professional ethics, and the power dynamics of attraction.
