As many critics and theorists have noted, non-pornographic films,
documentaries, and quality television series have increasingly
included explicit sex scenes since the 1990s, some of such scenes
featuring the performance of actual sex acts. The incidence of sex in
narratively powerful, resonant visual media can no longer be dismissed
as a trend. What was once an aesthetic weapon in the arsenal of
provocateurs is now frequently integrated seamlessly into the
mise-en-scène and exposition of widely viewed and culturally
significant films and television series. Intercourse in Television and
Film: The Presentation of Explicit Sex Acts analyzes the aesthetic and
narrative contexts for the visual media presentation of the sexual
act, both those which are non-simulated and those which are explicit
to that point that their simulation is brought into question by the
viewer. In this book, questions involving the performance choices of
actors, the framing and editing of the sex act, and the director's
attempts at integrating sexuality into the overall narrative structure
as well as their effects are explored.
