Just a Little Harmless Sex

Just a Little Harmless Sex is a 1999 American romantic sex comedy film which revolves around the offer of oral sex by a stranded motorist (and prostitute) to a monogamous man who stops to help her. Arrested by a passing police officer, the unlikely good Samaritan must telephone his wife to bail him out in the middle of the night. A few days later, she throws him out of the house and goes out with her friends to enjoy a sexy night on the town. The denouement takes place when all the parties meet at a local nightclub for explanations and apologies. The film was directed by Rick Rosenthal, written by Roger Mills and Marti Noxon, and stars Alison Eastwood and Jonathan Silverman.
