Cara ti amo [Risvolti psicologici nei rapporti fra giovani uomini e giovani donne [1989]] [English translation]

♂ We used to be lovers, but then…you left me, adducing no plausible motivations.

♀ No [...], that’s not true. You don’t understand the feminine world, my strong feminine sensibility contrasts with your coarse male materialism.

♂ Nonetheless…

♂ I love you, dear.

♀ I feel confused.

♂ I love you, dear.

♀ I need to stay alone for a while.

♂ I love you, dear.

♀ I just left a guy after a three years' relation.

♂ I love you, dear.

♀ I don’t want to feel tied down.

♂ I love you, dear.

♂ Stay home.

♀ I want to be free.

♂ Go out with whoever you like.

♀ You never care of what I do.

♂ I’d like to fondle your boobs.

♀ Pig.

♂ I’d never touch you, not even with a flower. 1

♀ Fag.

♂ I do drugs, I’m blasphemous, I’m violent with the kids and I don’t give a fuck about you.

♀ I love you.

♂ I work my ass out fourteen hours straight for you and I do give a fuck about you.

♀ I leave you for a drug addict who doesn’t do shit for all day, blasphemous and violent with the kids.

♂ I put the condom on.

♀ I have a dream of maternity.

♂ I have a dream of paternity.

♀ Put the condom on.

I love you, dear […]

♂ I stay home.

♀ You oppress me.

♂ I go out.

♀ This house is not a hotel.

♂ I’ll rub an ice cube soaked in Cointreau on your belly, and then I’ll fuck you blindfolded.

♀ I’m not a whore.

♂ How about in the classic position, you lying down and me on top.

♀ What a bore.

♂ Said the cow to the mule.

♀ Your ass stinks today.

♂ Said the mule to the cow.

♀ I just took a shit.

I love you, dear […]

♂ And now, let’s join our bodies in the supreme exhilaration typical of the idyllic love.

♀ No! Because when I was thirteen my cousin has shown it to me and since then I’m traumatized, but we can hug all night doing nothing, it’s gonna be wonderful anyway.

♂ How about I fuck your ass hard?

♀ Come on, seriously now.

♂ Would you like to come out with me tomorrow evening?

♀ I’m a bit tired and maybe I’ve already got an appointment.

♂ Well, that’s fine, I’ll see my friends.

♀ I’m free.

♂ This relation should be about sex.

♀ I need to be loved.

♂ This relation should be about love.

♀ Let’s shag.

♂ This is how I am.

♀ Try to change.

♂ Here, I’m changed.

♀ You’re not the same man anymore.

♂ You are mine.

♀ The uterus is mine. 2

♂ Here’s the money for the fur coat.

♀ Here’s the uterus.

Hooray for love!
