The idea that it is and can be shocking is understandable, but bigotted and short sighted in most cases. It tends to hit to much of a nerve for me to speak eloquently about it I am afriad.
Vodstok, Chrono send those high fives this way when your down this way, for me Sex and the passion behind often leads to a little necessary roughness... and hell a couple of bruises is a damn fine reminder in the morning.

I actually think that you did a fairly eloquent job here... I was trying to put my finger on it last night (HIO - PUN INTENDED), but didn't manage to... The issue, to me, isn't the violence when it comes to disturbing film of a sexual nature, it IS truly the issue of consent. As long as both (or
all as the case may be) are consenting people, then the sex can contain all of the violence it wants to.
I feel as though we still preach fairly conservative puritanical views of sex when it comes to pushing the envelop in film. And I agree with Az. Since I have a very healthy approach to sex (and a very open mind), I tend to be offended when particular acts of sex (bondage is a perfect example) are expressed in a movie to try to "challenge" the audience. To me, bondage isn't shocking
or challenging; it's when the bondagee isn't consenting that I find myself disturbed at the piece.
