In the recent film Shortbus, the actress and actor actually had sex to create the movie. Is that Porn or Art?  Unlike in porn, the sex in "Shortbus" (read EW's review) and other recent films featuring actors in the act ("9 Songs," "The Brown Bunny") is injected as a means of character exploration. We learn that despite her creativity in the bedroom, the wife in the married couple (Sook-Yin Lee) is incapable of having an orgasm; even more ironically, she works as a sex therapist."
"We have to keep reminding people it's not pornographic -- it's not a film that's meant to arouse," Mitchell told The Associated Press. "We try to de-eroticize the sex to see what kind of emotions and ideas are left over when the haze of eroticism is waved away."
