Larry Sultan was avoiding to photograph
the sexual act directly.
Staying discreet on a location for a porn movie,
thats like putting on a tie on a nude beach.
But Larry Sultan was as interested in intimate moments,
the moments in between.
(There is nothing intimate about fucking before movie cameras)
The situation above is a moment like this,
a sexually explicit joke in a relaxed situation.
A gesture,
that is normally reserved
to the male part of humanity.
