80s Porn

Works of art, youtubers, movies and diaries: control and pleasure.

SHOWERS is a steamy short film that takes place in the men’s showers. It was here that I had my first cruising experience. The shower is often used as a convenient place to relax and masturbate, and a solo shower is one of the most common porn videos in the internet. Not only do we wash our bodies while we’re showering, but it can also be a genuine form of self-care. The sensation of water caressing and touching ourselves to clean our bodies can be very stimulating. It increases blood flow and it helps to reduce stress.

Inspired by a friend's comment, an artist responds with a letter praising the image but drawing attention to the emptying of desire in a world where discourse increasingly overshadows action.
