I wanted to punch him as well, who wouldn't? I believe that's exactly what they wanted to achieve with that character and they absolutely nailed it. I can't quite pinpoint as to who exactly he reminds me of, but no doubt he represents a pattern we've all probably noticed - a clear sociopath pretending/believing they are the Enlightened one, and a sea of idiots blindly following him with 0 scrutiny, sometimes with disastrous consequences.
I've heard of it, but i totally missed it in the film. I thought (the film led me to it, pretty much) that he's hiding the condom because it's empty, aka. he couldn't climax because the sex was awful. I was also hoping it would go that way, since i wanted to see what next could this crazy girl do after discovering the lie...
Obviously it didn't turn out like that, so then i thought he wouldn't give the condom since he considers that to be too personal, and they clearly weren't close (he knew her only from that silly interview and her yelling "cunt" while waiting for the bathroom).
So after reading this, i also feel a bit stupid, although i don't think i'm wrong with my „explanation“ (the reasons are not mutually exclusive).
„To me stealing the covers was just more confirmation that it was S2 -- he had already slept with S1 a lot, and he was remarking on this as though it was the first time.“
I know this comment is from 2 years ago, but this is a great insight to be rubbed in the faces of the people who overthink it. The ending is pretty clear imho, even though almost every theory i've read works (if you really want to make it so). I do get the impression that many of the commenters ended up here as more of a fans of the "romance" genre (through a "odd romance movies" search, as someone stated), so i get why they would want the happy end (E1 and S1 leaving).
But the *E1 leaving with S2* makes the movie far more badass, sinister and sci-fi-ish (although i see it more as supernatural), and this is why i personally loved it. E1+S1 would be kinda cheesy, almost slightly pathetic, at least for me.
