Movies have constantly pushed at the boundaries of sexual
representation, outraging censors, transgressing taboos and opening
up formerly forbidden realms of sensual pleasure. Whether through
an exploration of our dreamiest fantasies or our darkest desires,
films have expanded our repertoire of erotic images and challenged
who we are as sexual beings. The first book to look at truly
contemporary erotic cinema, this publication gives in-depth
analyses of sex scenes from over 100 films, more than half of them
released in the 21st century. Beginning with an overview of how
depictions of sex on screen have changed over the last 40 years,
with particular attention to censorship controversies, the book is
divided into three main parts - erotic genres, themes and acts -
and covers sex comedies, body horror, alien sex and erotic
animation; gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans films, movies about
youth, marriage and infidelity, films dealing with incest,
blasphemy and death; on-screen nudity and voyeurism, masturbation,
oral and anal sex, the menage a trois and the orgy, and bestiality,
rape and sadomasochism. The films discussed include 9 Songs,
American Pie, Bad Education, Black Swan, Brokeback Mountain,
Intimacy, Last Tango in Paris, The Reader, The Wayward Cloud, Y Tu
Mama Tambien and many more.
