I just got a copy of DESTRICTED, a compilation of about seven short films by various directors on the theme of sex or pornography. Larry Clark’s segment is one where he interviews a bunch of young boys to be in a film that he claims will involve having real sex on camera, but will not be porn (?!?). Although they’re over eighteen, several of them seem so nearly feebleminded that I don’t even think they should have been able to sign a release to appear in the movie. Anyhow, he chooses a very skinny, shy, inarticulate boy, intruduces her to several porno actresses, they choose a fourty-year-old lady for his partner (she actually seemed very nice and had a good rapport with the boy), and film several sex scenes. They do oral, vaginal, anal, and vaginal again. While watching this, I noticed they did not use a condom, even once, even in the anal scenes. Not only is that unsafe, it’s also unsanitary. I wonder if they boys had to have a comprehensive HIV/STD test before they were interviewed, and if the women involved did too? It all seemed to have been shot in one day, so there was probably no time for a test in between choosing the participants and filming. That seems really gross and irresponsible, especially when using such a young kid (the boy they chose was only twenty-one). Come to think of it, there were no condoms anywhere in the film that I can remember
