Shortbus

# There were thirty eight in the bed and the little one said.... #

So, ShortBus is the latest mainstream film to feature full sex on screen. Should porn be scared?

Well, yes, it should. Why? I reckon it might have something to do with the fact that the acting is a hell of a lot better for a start and the fact that you can rely on these films for some semblance of a plot.

For people who like me who get tired VERY quickly of porn that just plods on with absolutely nothing to connect it, this type of thing is what we've been looking for for a very long time. It's porn with entertainment!

It's not to everyone's tastes, evidently. Some people hate having a plot with their porn. Some people just want sex. In fact, I think some people would just prefer it if the stars never even talked one word in their films.

But it's got to be a good thing for free speech and the erosion of ridiculous censorship if action dirtier than you might even find in your average Brain Cash site can pop up in an off-Hollywood film, surely?
