Casual Sex? is a 1988 comedy film about two female friends who go to a holiday resort in search of the perfect man. It was directed by Geneviève Robert, and stars Lea Thompson, Victoria Jackson, Andrew Dice Clay, Jerry Levine, and Sandra Bernhard.
Stacy (Lea Thompson) has a promiscuous past, and after learning of the AIDS epidemic she wants to find a guy whom she knows is clean, so she convinces her childhood friend Melissa (Victoria Jackson) to go to a health spa (or resort) for singles so that they can hopefully each find the man of their dreams. It shows them having received or possibly having bought a basket filled with condoms. At the spa, Stacy meets Nick (Stephen Shellen), a struggling musician whom she is taken with, and also encounters Vinny, aka the Vin Man (Andrew Dice Clay), an annoying Italian-American man from New Jersey whom she tries to avoid.
At an event at the health resort called International Night, the men and women all take miniature flags and put them in plunger-shaped hats and then meet the person with the identical flag. After becoming upset over a bad experience at the flag party, Melissa writes a letter that she leaves for Stacy and says in it that she is leaving the spa resort to return to LA by herself (being frustrated and demoralized by her experiences there). However, Melissa soon finds herself connecting with a spa staff member, Jamie (Jerry Levine), who has taken an apparent liking to her and yet who is very sweet, respectful and supportive of her and who some days later, when they are intimate, winds up giving her her very first orgasm. Meanwhile, Stacy finds Melissa's letter to her and, thinking that Melissa has, in fact, left the resort alone in frustration to return to LA, immediately returns to LA herself via the 2PM bus (and having taken Nick along with her to move into her home with her), not knowing that Melissa has, in fact, wound up remaining at the resort (because she was, in fact, on the verge of going back to LA and even waiting for the bus in the bus station to take her back to LA but surprisingly found Jamie waiting there for her inside the bus terminal to console and support her and, in the end, she wound up going back to the resort with Jamie).
