Barry had taken Brian to the King Edward Hotel to catch up. He was finding Brian more relaxed than he’d had seen him in a long time. He was placated. Whatever reservations he had about making pornography had been swept aside. “It’s amazing,” he said. “This is something really special.” Barry smiled. “I’m looking forward to trying it.” “I would wait until I have a chance to tame it,” Brian said. “It’s good but it’s unpleasant. In fact, it’s a real kick in the balls and it put me in hospital. There’s something about it, somehow the combination of sex with violence created an incredible mental and physical experience. It was as though I was physically living what I saw on screen. It was felt, physically and emotionally by us as viewers. What I learned is the strength of the signal needs to be dynamic. When the visuals are violent without the eroticism to balance it you feel the pain; when that happens the signal strength needs reducing. It’s strange, it’s the most uncomfortable sexual experience you’ll ever have.
