This article made me think of the double-dildo scene from Requiem From A Dream, mainly because it made me wonder if that sex act was the real deal. I don't mean to say that I found it erotic or stimulating (anal just isn't my thing), it was quite jarring within the context of the movie. I guess I could also point out the fellatio scene or any of the other sex scenes in that movie, they were all so jarring and real, that it did seem... Strange to see it on film, in a Hollywood movie. I wasn't against it, I was just given some food for thought that made me wonder if "real sex" is common in American films.

(Disclosure I'm an American, I watch a lot of TV and movies, but never gave something like this any thought.)
