The perks and perils of every stage of a relationship are explored in a new Canadian movie, colourfully titled Young People F***ing, we're hearing.

Described by critics as a jauntily-paced sex comedy, the flick centres on four couples and one threesome who are all at different points in the dating game.

"All set out to have straightforward sex but hit quagmires of communication and relationship problems," explains Straight.com.

"Each character has difficulty being honest with their partners, and sometimes with themselves," it continues.

"There are breasts, asses and even a dildo. But the simulated sex is actually minimal - the majority of the film is dialogue."

Director Martin Gero told the news provider his movie's title was never intended to be permanent, and he went on to admit that marketing maestros have resorted to calling it "YPF".

Eager viewers should shed any preconceived notions at the cinema door, he noted, as the film's characters eventually realise "there's no such thing as just f***ing".

"As a generation, we're like, 'Oh, we can have sex with no strings and we're cool and we can experiment, and nobody's feelings get hurt,' but it's just not true," he mused.

"It doesn't exist."

We believe you, Martin, we really do.
