As a porn studio, our primary aim is to produce horny films that turn you on. Sexuality and arousal themselves, though, are deeply rooted in far more complex considerations; fear, pain, taboo and trauma all have parts to play, and you can’t understand how to get people hot under the collar without also considering where their shadow lies. In the afterglow of filming a particularly edgy scene Blake and Theo found time to sit down and talk some of this through: Theo’s experiences during his first day on a Dreams set, stories of some of the edgiest scenes they’ve each done in the past, and their personal thoughts on the deeply emotive politics of porn.
