When real life and relationships take second place to pornography viewing, that is an indication of addiction. While not glamorous or exciting, addiction can be deadly and even cost lives.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt made a splashy comeback to cinematic offerings last year with his star turn in Don Jon, an exploration of relationships and sexual addiction.
The Friend Zone
Harry Met Sally posed the question whether men and women could truly co-exist without sexual gratification, yet modern culture seems to answer in the negative. Many males today seem raised with an expectation of sexual favoritism from females they encounter; many become involved with Bro-Culture — an environment that encourages competition, hypermasculinity, and the strange intersection between homoeroticism and homophobia — from an early age.
Jillette Jimenez knew her film’s climax – in which protagonist Kristen’s infertility struggles culminate with a „miracle pregnancy”, will be upsetting to some viewers – would be upsetting, yet authentic as it’s drawn from real events from her life and is truly wonderful ending.
The Submission of Emma Marx
Emma Marx is an attractive, confident woman who feels disenchanted with love. While previous relationships had been routine and mundane, one chance meeting with an attractive stranger completely alters the course of her romantic encounters: this gentleman opens up a world she had previously only dared fantasize about–one filled with erotica, role playing, BDSM, etc. Emma finds herself amazed at his ability to take away inhibitions while replacing them with desire and desire.
What’s more, she finds herself drawn to this newfound sense of freedom. However, sub relationships don’t just bring pleasure; they also come with responsibility. Soon she realizes she must do what’s best for both her Dom and herself as well as determine whether her submission is the path towards or away from happiness.
Penny Pax is a stunning actress that gives an believable performance as Emma, while Richie Calhoun makes the ideal Dom: firm yet charming and seductive – master at creating and relieving tension for steamy scenes that become even hotter due to context.
This third and final part of Emma Marx trilogy stands up on its own as an engaging standalone movie. You’ll be kept riveted as you uncover Mr. Fredrick’s background; making this film essential viewing for fans of Fifty Shades or anyone simply interested in romantic BDSM stories alike.
If you want an alternative to E.L. James and Hollywood’s Fifty Shades series, look no further than The Submission of Emma Marx and Emma 2. Both films surpass what’s offered up by either of them and can be watched from the comfort of your own home!
The Good Girl
Erika Lust’s debut into indie adult film industry features Alex, a confident businesswoman who enjoys sex but struggles to act upon it. After talking to her friend who opened up about their sexual desires, Alex decides to take control and do something a „good girl” wouldn’t normally do – watch this nude sex scene from The Good Girl on Scandalplanet with enhanced brightness for your viewing pleasure!
Good Girl is a display typeface with a bold, heavy presence that pokes fun at manspreading while remaining playful bubblegum pink. With twenty-unit counters and narrow spacing resulting in dense letterforms on pages or screens – perfect for making an eye-catching statement.
9 Songs
British director Michael Winterbottom („Welcome to Sarajevo,” „Wonderland,” and „24 Hour Party People”) has gone beyond mere exploitation filmmaking with 9 Songs. This cinematic event bears all the hallmarks of both an exuberant rock concert and straight-up pornography; featuring young musicians Kieran O’Brien and Margo Stilley engaging in their improvised kissing and penetration sessions, attending London clubs to watch hip bands such as The Dandy Warhols, Franz Ferdinand, Goldfrapp while conducting their own improvised performances captured using handheld digital video and natural lighting.
Winterbottom took an unconventional route with this movie by including real-life sexual scenes – some explicit, such as masturbation with and without vibrators, anal sex, cunnilingus and footjobs – into his mainstream filmmaking debut, making this an extremely erotic flick. His decision to show actors performing actual sexual acts onscreen is perhaps his boldest decision yet amongst a long list of genre experiments that he had attempted previously with mixed results.
But even the more seductive parts of the movie struggle to keep us engaged, as their dialogue remains as flat and disinterested as their emotional states. By the time you reach week’s end, all that will remain of it will be its gooey payoff scene which might satisfy those inclined to see it, but won’t likely leave an impactful lasting memory of its own.
Reality of real-life sex scenes likely doesn’t bother viewers as much, as the movie still makes its point effectively: that sex can be very dull activity that will likely never change any time soon. Of course, it was bold of any movie to show such raw imagery – and this movie stands out among others by showing so much truthful sexual activity onscreen.
