Everything we know about 'I Want Your Sex' Starring Olivia Wilde (Patreon)

I Want Your Sex centers on Elliot (Cooper Hoffman), a young, aspiring artist who lands a dream job working for Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde), a renowned and provocative figure in the art world. Erika, described as a “firebrand” and “icon,” hires Elliot as her "sexual muse," pulling him into a world of lust, power, and fantasy. What begins as an exciting and seductive opportunity quickly spirals into a dark and nightmarish journey filled with manipulation, murder, and betrayal.

Directed and co-written by Gregg Araki (Kaboom, Now Apocalypse), the film promises the same fearless exploration of sexuality, power dynamics, and twisted relationships that Araki is known for. Araki isn’t afraid to showcase nudity or push boundaries, and I Want Your Sex will be no exception.

While specific details about the sex and nudity in the film are under wraps, it’s clear that the movie’s erotic charge will be a major selling point. Online rumors suggested BDSM scenes involving Olivia Wilde, but no credible reports or leaks have confirmed that — at least not yet.

What We Know About the Characters:

Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde): A provocative and influential artist who manipulates those around her. Erika is seductive, charismatic, and dangerous — using Elliot as her sexual inspiration. This role seems tailor-made for Wilde, whose past performances often blur the line between power and vulnerability (Don’t Worry Darling being a prime example).

Elliot (Cooper Hoffman): A young, naive artist drawn into Erika's magnetic world. His journey begins with excitement but slowly turns into a twisted descent involving obsession, lust, and possibly murder. Hoffman brings a fresh vulnerability that fits the role of a corrupted muse.

Unnamed Role (Charli XCX): Her character is still a mystery, but Wilde has publicly praised her audition, calling her a “brilliant actress.” While we don’t yet know the size or importance of her role, her casting alone brings intrigue — especially as she enters the world of film for the first time.

There’s currently no official information on the characters played by Margaret Cho, Chase Sui Wonders, or Roxane Mesquida, but given the movie’s themes, their roles are expected to be anything but tame.

Will There Be Lesbian Scenes?

While there’s no confirmed information about lesbian content in the film, the plot and female-heavy cast make it highly possible. Given the psychological and sexual undercurrents, it wouldn’t be surprising if queer dynamics are explored — and with Gregg Araki involved, it seems more likely than not.

Roxane Mesquida’s involvement only fuels that speculation. She previously worked with Araki on Now Apocalypse, where she appeared in a wide range of sexually charged scenes, including full nudity and threesomes. She's never shied away from erotic material — and neither has Araki.

Olivia Wilde’s Influence — A Wild Card?

One possible concern is Wilde’s public stance on portraying female sexuality in an “empowered” and “intentional” way. While she isn’t producing this film or holding creative control, her influence could potentially steer certain scenes away from pure fanservice. Whether she’ll fully embrace the raw, explicit tone Araki is known for remains to be seen.
