Stoner film
Another almost universal element of stoner movies is sex. Stoner movies are irrefutably ruttish ones, as reflected in the main characters. Beautiful, many times nude women are a staple of the genre. More often than not, the main characters are unsuccessful in losing their virginity or fornicating, and the search for it can be their quest. The well-meaning but sexually frustrated male adolescent is a common stereotypical view of the stoner. Female stoner equivalents of the sexually frustrated male stoner are rare—if not entirely absent—from the stoner genre.
These themes are loosely based upon the ideals of the stoner culture's parent culture, the hippie movement. The origins of free love and the easy-going, warm-hearted, sometimes altruistic lifestyle are firmly rooted in Haight-Ashbury. The idea that one can personify these attitudes, face seemingly insurmountable challenges, smoke marijuana and still emerge victorious provided that one's heart is true and intentions noble is perhaps the most common stoner theme.
