Shortbus (2006), Love (2015), Polyamory and Pornography

"Monogamy is for straight people." Time to get horny! This week, we're talking about two taboo subjects - polyamory and unsimulated sex scenes - as they are explored through the films Shortbus (2006) and Love (2015). Love is a harrowing nonlinear journey through a straight relationship that becomes doomed thanks to lies, jealousy, and the toxicity of control, while Shortbus follows several characters with different unfulfilled needs as they graphically open their bodies and hearts up to an eclectic community centered in an underground NYC salon called "Shortbus." What's so bad about monogamy? What are the pleasures and pitfalls of polyamory? Where do the lines between art, film, and pornography begin and end?Jane's Patreon and YouTube channel:youtube.com/@styleissubstancepatreon.com/styleissubstanceVivian's Patreon and YouTube channel:youtube.com/@vivianstrangepatreon.com/Ms_Vivian_Strange
