Sexual Economy of Risk (2002)

The film explores experimental approaches to pornography, including the use of self as a tool in its creation. It draws upon Slavoj Žižek's ideas from *On Belief*, suggesting that the development of human sexuality involved a fundamental detachment from instinct. Žižek argues that the initial stage of human sexuality isn't partnered sex, but solitary masturbation fueled by fantasy. The transition to sexual involvement with another person is not natural, but rather a series of complex and transformative leaps.
