Notes:...naked women sleeping...old man couldn't sleep...writer's block guy goes to old house where women are drugged so they sleep and then old men get into bed with them and dream...trying to say something about old men feeling young...each girl is hotter than the next...sort of an Eyes Wide Shut vibe...guy does a lot of talking to himself thinking that the girl might actually be awake...scary madam-type woman runs the house...some girls have more "experience" and are more popular with the clients...a lot of backstory is explored while the lead talks to sleeping women...there is an older friend, another professor, who longs for the feeling he gets when sleeping next to these young girls...the hottest, most experienced girl tracks down the lead and offers to sleep with him for money...the older guy says something like "if they opened their mouths, they could disappoint us"...the men seemed to get older the more often they slept at the house...there were often male fantasy portions, like when the intelligent, well-spoken, Asian-English girl offers the man her virginity...while sleeping with the girls, the guy dreams of his wife and his life when he was younger...

Strangely compelling and not as sleazy as it sounds above. The notion that the pure energy of a young girl could manifest itself in a man's dreams simply while lying next to her is sort of cool to think about. There was truthfully no reason for these young girls to all appear to be from a modeling agency. I will remember this one.
