I was watching “Whores’ Glory”
It’s a documentary about prostitution in various third world countries.
In it, they actually showed a woman giving a guy a BJ. It was brief but they showed the whole thing.
Just took me by surprise is all. I didn’t think that shit was legal.
Also, I have to wonder if the boys in corperate know of this particular scene in the documentary.
[BTW, if my Netflix crashes in the next five minutes, I’ll know who to blame you perverts! :p]
Does Netflix offer “The Brown Bunny?” Because that one is a lot more than “brief.”
What about “Shortbus”?
Why wouldn’t it be legal? You’ve never heard of porn on the internet?
Netflix has had a ton of porn/sex industry documentaries.
They usually feature at least some full on harcore scenes.
HBO has done several docs about hookers that showed pretty graphic sex, usually right on the street, well an alley. I’m not talking about those “Cathouse” reality shows that really are basically porn, but real documentaries.
Taxi Cab confessions also has had pretty graphic sex at times. So this is not unprecedented.
They have (or had) a slew of movies that were basically softcore gay porn masquerading as legtitmate movies. Things like the Daydream Obession movies or the Olympia trilogy.
Porn on the internet? I’ll alert the media.
Docs, smocks. Netflix streaming has The Pig Farmer’s Daughter which is actual porn (though I think it’s a vintage softcore edit of hardcore).
Not having seen it, I can only speculate, but I wish to point out that a scene in a documentary does not equate to porn. The primary purpose of porn is titillation. That scene in the documentary does not sound like it is done with the intent to be stimulating, but rather to show the reality of the situation.
Now whether it fits in graphical material and whether that is or should be available by Netflix is a different topic.
You didn’t see “porn” - what you saw was explicit sex in a documentary. As such, it has nothing to do with pornography.
They also aired some retrospective documentary about Deep Throat which included footage of the title act.
Eh, I’ll know it when I see it.
I think there is a blog dedicated to nothing but porn on Netflix. There is a surprising variety, form modern X-rated dramas to 1960s fetish films.
I was given a gift subscription to Netflix several years back. Turned out the overwhelming majority of movies I wanted they didn’t have.
Eventually I ended up running thru a bunch of 60-70s cheapo exploitation films and such. One of them was a Brazilian film and in the middle of it … oh. Nothing in the description or ratings indicated how explicit it was.
Looks like Anatomy of Hell and The Piano Teacher are both currently streaming, both with similar scenes (in fact if I remember correctly the first shot of Anatomy is someone getting a BJ). Both movies, btw, are very much worth watching even if they depict various other depravities at uncomfortable length. I wouldn’t say either qualifies as pornography, though I suspect Anatomy was meant to be weirdly titillating.
I was surprised when the whole tempest-in-a-teapot over Netflix refusing to carry Trash Humpers took place a couple years ago - I thought “okay, they’ll willingly carry Catherine Breillat flicks, but this is what makes them put their foot down?”
So did you learn anything about prostitution in third world countries?
