“When I first started writing, there was no way I'd write a sex scene. That just seemed impossible. That's why in "Fight Club" all the sex happens off-screen. It's all just a noise on the other side of the wall or the ceiling. I just couldn't bring to write in a scene like that. So one of the challenges with "Choke" was I wanted to write sex scenes until I was really comfortable just writing them in a very mechanical way.” WayWritingFirstsHappensWantedFightingSexSidesChallengesImpossibleWallSceneComfortableClubsScreensNoiseCeilingsChoke Author:Chuck Palahniuk
“Sangeeta Bandyopadhyay is a stylistically daring writer in love with surrealism, credited with being 'the woman who reintroduced hardcore sexuality to Bengali literature'. But though the (male) establishment used this label of erotica to dismiss her work, the sex scenes have exactly the same transgressive function as her use of chronology and narrative voice.” UseUsedLiteratureSexVoiceSceneFunctionMalesSexualityLabelsNarrativeEstablishmentDaringSurrealismHardcoreBengaliChronologyNarrative Voice Author:Deborah Smith

“My character [in Ted Bundy] was unaware of all the murders that were being committed by him, so I kind of tried to keep myself out of it and kind of keep an innocent point of view from it. The hard scenes for me were the sex scenes just because there's like sexual deviance going on and there was stuff that he want her to do and that was really disturbing.” WantKindHardCharacterSexStuffViewsSceneMurderCommittedPoint Of ViewInnocentDisturbingTed BundyDeviance Author:Boti Bliss
“I reject totally the characterization of a transwoman as a mutilated man. First, that formulation presumes that men born into that sex assignment are not mutilated. Second, it once again sets up the feminist as the prosecutor of trans people. If there is any mutilation going on in this scene, it is being done by the feminist police force who rejects the lived embodiment of transwomen. That very accusation is a form of "mutilation" as is all transphobic discourse such as these.” PeopleIfsMenFirstsDoneFormForceSexBornScenePoliceFeministRejectsDiscourseTransAssignmentsEmbodimentAccusationBeing DoneProsecutorCharacterizationPolice ForceMutilation Author:Judith Butler
