The intricacies of sex, shame and intimacies



I am with those who abuse sex
because the individual doesn't count
with those who get drunk
against the abyss of the brain
against the illusion that life
had once been beautiful or good or sacred
….with those whose hearts have been removed
….and please forget…
about love it has no right.
-         Ingrid Jonker



This adult film (2011) explores sexual addiction and an array of relationships where intimacy becomes sought after but is complicated by fears, shame and deep self-uncertainty. Also a powerful depiction of sibling bonds of ambivalent love-hate.
