Sex, sex and more sex. Sex with your co-workers' wives, sex with your husband's coworkers… it is ubiquitous in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Martha is clearly creating an atmosphere charged with sex and is enjoying her flirtations with Nick, a married man. Are you feeling the love? Feeling a bit uncomfortable yet?
