That obscure object of desire--What's with the bag?

A great movie, and greatly frustrating to watch as well. All men (and women?) should watch it with their partner at least once.

Can someone explain what's with the big garbage bag that recurs through the film, though?

It´s some time since I saw it, but I remember Martin, the butler, saying something like: "To a man, a woman... - orejones 02:59:34 08/31/07 (1)
...is like a bag of garbage" , to mean that sexuality is (or was, at that time) lived by most men as something dark, shameful, guilty, like the bag full of dirty linen no one wants other people to see...

That butler was very close to Don Juan´s Leporello, and he knew his master well, his somewhat elliptical statement being about Mateo..., that garbage - or dirty linen - bag being a surrealistic way of stating what he says...

It´s a Buñuel film, so that´s what the title points to, doesn´t it?

several months ago, but only vaguely remember the garbage bags. How soon we forget. Must see again.
