"his blue blue eyes full of the sun"
"don't say no to me you can't say no to me because it's such a relief to have love again and to lie in bed and be held and touched and kissed and adored and your heart will leap when you hear my voice and see my smile and feel my breath on your neck and your heart will race when i want to see you and i will lie to you from day one and use you and screw you and break your heart because you broke mine first and you will love me more each day until the weight is unbearable and your life is mine and you'll die alone because i will take what i want then walk away and owe you nothing it's always there it's always been there and you cannot deny the life you feel fuck that life fuck that life fuck that life i have lost you now."

pornography vs cinema erotica
For some reason, people seem to feel perfectly justified in saying that pornography and cinema erotica are the same thing. They're not.
The primary purpose of porn is sexual gratification and holds on emphasis on a soley physical level with no concern for strong acting, plot, nor general cinematic skill. The main focus of cinema erotica is the psychological concepts behind sex and also, sometimes psychosexual, human relationships and bonds between people moreso than the physical act. It typically follows themes of discovery, such as Eyes Wide Shut - Kubrick's final masterpiece, or the impact that sex has on human relationships in both a positive and negative manner, ie The Dreamers. Cinema erotica is about characters and about humanity, with great heed to visual skill and language, dripping with loaded meaning dialogue, as well as moral judgement more than it is about sex itself; which is a superficial cover to the ongoing themes behind it.
For me, this surface level action with underlying meaning is mirrored in life too. Constantly we are faced with images of people, brands they have created for themselves to show to the world and often we are so dazzled with the face value that we forget to look deeper, to notice the hints and messages behind their words and the shadows in their eyes. Or, perhaps, we don't forget or are oblivious but rather ignore these murkier depths to those we adore, preferring the golden idols they present to us and shining them with our denial.
