Did this famous Annie Hall scene form a generation's view about gender and sexual desire?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) May 26th, 2011

In Woody Allen’s Annie Hall, there is the following scene:

[Alvy and Annie are seeing their therapists at the same time on a split screen]
Alvy Singer’s Therapist: How often do you sleep together?
Annie Hall’s Therapist: Do you have sex often?
Alvy Singer: [lamenting] Hardly ever. Maybe three times a week.
Annie Hall: [annoyed] Constantly. I’d say three times a week.

What is the myth that this scene creates or perpetuates? Is the myth accurate? Do people still believe it today? Is it true in your life? [It is in mine]—You can find more of the scene here.

Do you remember seeing this movie for the first time?
