It’s the hot new sensation on Netflix, The Pleasure of Getting Betrayed is the #1 movie on the platform right now. This new sensual content, not recommended for people under the age of 16, belongs to the very popular category of so-called “soft porn” films and series such as Sex/Life, Elite or 365 Days.
- Why is soft porn a hit on Netflix?
Directed by Diego Freitas, who already owns World Beyond on Netflix, The Pleasure of Being Trayed combines romance, thriller and drama with a heavy dose of explicit sex scenes.
- Simulated or not simulated? The truth about these ass sex scenes
Babi (Giovanni Lancelotti) is the hero of the pleasure of betrayal. This young woman thinks she has a great life with an important job, loyal friends – Thiago (Bruno Montaleone) and Pete (Camila de Lucas) – and a charming fiance Caio (Michael Borges).
But she discovers during her bachelor party that Kayo has been cheating on her for several years. After the breakup, Babi takes control of her life by changing her appearance, banishing Kayo from her personal and professional life and getting her back on the bike.
Babi also meets Judge Marco (Leandro Lima), to whom she feels an inexplicable attraction. They begin a very warm relationship, but Marco hides as many secrets as those close to him…
Continuing the pleasure of betrayal?
Even if Infidelity is full of explicit sex scenes and nudity like the trilogy 365 daysThe Brazilian film is far less problematic than the Polish franchise, which has been widely criticized for “glamourising kidnapping and rape”.
The Pleasure of Betrayal is a thriller that combines betrayal, low blow, sexuality and murder. The addition of graphic sensual scenes help raise the temperature in this horror film that has won over fans of soft porn and other erotic thrillers as well as Netflix subscribers.
The film went straight to number one in the platform’s top viewership charts. So, will this success make the American giant want to continue? If information on this topic has not been disclosed at this time, the probability is high.
Indeed, The Pleasures of Betrayal is an adaptation of Sue Hacker’s novel of the same name. And this Brazilian author specializes in erotic books. You should know that The Pleasure of Betrayal is part of a special collection called “Mosaico” and it includes two prequel novels – Preludio do Cinismo (Prelude to Cynicism) and Epilogo (Epilogue).
Therefore, Netflix can adapt these two prequel novels into movies if the platform wants to expand the universe of Au Pleasure de Se Travése on the platform. The prequel Preludio do Cinismo (Prelude to Cynicism) is about the beginnings of Babi and Caio’s once-passionate relationship, while the prequel Epilogo (Epilogue) focuses on Caio and their intense encounters.
But the American giant may want to adapt other sultry novels from Sue Hacker’s Mosaic series, which focus on other characters. We’ll have to wait and see if the success of Au Plaisir de Se Través is enough for Netflix to consider expanding the universe to the platform, or if its popularity is temporary.
The Pleasure of Betrayal is available on Netflix.
