Great Theorists Discuss Today’s Porn Titles: Titan’s Telescope (2008)

Telescope explores the complex sexual tension created through the persistent peeping that star Diesel Washington’s character does using a fancy telescope on the balcony of an expensive San Francisco high-rise flat. He also foot-fucks two people simultaneously and invents a new sexual position. There was much to discuss.

“A cinematic experience like Titan’s Telescope offers a number of possible pleasures. One is scopophilia. There are circumstances in which looking itself is a source of pleasure, just as, in the reverse formation, there is pleasure in being looked at. Telescope satisfies a primordial wish for pleasurable looking, but it also goes further, developing scopophilia in its narcissistic aspect.”

“Pleasure in looking (scopophilia) becomes a perversion if it is restricted exclusively to the genitals, or if it is concerned with the overriding of disgust, or if, instead of being preparatory to the normal sexual aim, it supplants it, say, with feet.”

“I think that every sexual position is fundamentally comic, but The Bully is really, like, a laugh riot.”

“Law, morality, religion, are to this Diesel Washington so many bourgeois prejudices, behind which lurk in ambush just as many bourgeois interests.”
