HARDCORE OR HARDBOILED
In the Realm Of The Senses (Ai No Corrida, 1976) is a Japanese movie that tells the true story of a couple who get into a bit of bother in 1920s Tokyo, when they lock themselves in a room for a couple of weeks and agree to literally shag themselves to death. One of them anyway, since she is found wandering the streets in a daze, his severed penis in her pocket after a dose of autoerotic asphyxiation. The movie is famous for its real-action sex scenes: the viewer is sitting, watching and thinking, yes, she really does have him in her mouth. For a relatively mainstream film, it remains controversial. But it isn’t a hardcore porn film. There’s a scene with a boiled egg too.
‘Drinking when we are not thirsty and making love all year round;
that is all there is to distinguish us from other animals.’
Beaumarchais, Le Manage de Figaro, 1785
‘If sex is such a natural phenomenon, how come there are so many
books on how to do it?’ Bette Midler
