It documents the lengths to which people will go to express themselves ... and to connect with others. Over different shots of BDSM, Michelle, a young girl with black hair and a pierced bottom lip, explains that once she started questioning her sexuality, she got into domination and that there's only so many ways that you can have sex with someone and it gets boring. An explanatory line pops up: Goth State Of Mind and Phoenix, a young man with black and red hair and a pierced bottom lip, says that goth is more of an attitude. An unnamed young man adds that a certain amount of alienation can bring someone to a gothic state of mind because of the music and says, "You're going to listen to those CDs when you feel alienated." He likes the passion and the look of being goth and he likes a lot of the people. An unnamed young lady says that just because someone's wearing black lipstick doesn't mean that they're a dominatrix but it doesn't mean they're not. Gothic people, like anyone else, are interested in a rainbow of sexual flavors, she continues. The next segment is Goth Sex. Batman is standing next to a coffin and says "We're not going missionary tonight. Let's try something a little different." Michelle admits that she likes to be spanked, likes to be tied up and likes bondage. Clint says it's penetration of the psyche that gets to him. Christa says that you are able to tap into that part of yourself that can spit in a woman's face and call her a whore and tells her that she's worthless garbage. Phoenix says that goth sex includes a lot of things that mainstream people would consider strange or wrong. As he says this, he is shown wrapping his girlfriend, Michelle, in blue saran wrap like a mummy. Then he is shown, wrapped in cloth like a mummy and blindfolded and Michelle places a piece of ice on his throat. Explanatory lines to the next segment: Michelle, Hairdresser, New to Goth Sex. She says that she got into the scene when she was eighteen and started going out to clubs. She was very prudish and didn't know much about life. She always felt like she didn't fit in and thought that the girls that walked around with black hair looked so beautiful and mysterious. Michelle's mom says that first, it was the Madonna phase, then the grunge phase and the latest is the gothic phase. Michelle shows a picture of herself when she had blonde hair and explains that she was going for the Marilyn Monroe look. She says that she likes to ease her Mom into the strange stuff that she does. Michelle's mom says that she doesn't think Michelle is extremely involved in S & M and Michelle says that her mother considers people who are into S & M to be sick and perverted. Michelle explains that there are girls that can go out, meet a guy, have sex with him and immediately cum and they are completely satisfied with that. "That's great for them but I don't necessarily fit into that category." She says. Christa, an older woman with a red and black bob and pierced nose, says that as a young child she was very sexually aroused by the movie, Alien, and thought that the creature in the movie was the sexiest being she'd ever seen in her entire life. She says that she was torn between wanting to fuck it and wanting to be it. Explanatory lines for this segment pop up: Christa, Poet, Old School Goth. She says that she didn't want to date like her friends, didn't want to go to the 'malt shop' with a boy, but that she wanted to tie him to a tree. She is shown being bound: she is sitting on a bench facing a panel of wood in front of her and her wrists are tied with rope behind the panel. She explains that having a safe place for your monster to come out and play is the only way to be a really, healthy person. Christa says that if you go to church and pretend that you don't feel these things and seal yourself in a suburban coffin with a white picket fence around it and never acknowledge your own inner monster, that it doesn't go away; that it's in there weight-lifting and getting stronger and more bored like any prisoner. Review: Goth Sex 02 Batman says that he describes goth sex as exploring the darker pleasures and that there's a beautiful dichotomy between the pain and pleasure. Batman is in his thirties, has reddish hair, goatee and moustache and has fangs like a vampire. His explanatory lines pop up: Batman, Marine Biologist By Day, Vampire By Night. He says that when he's had a hard time, that it's been a rough month or whatever, that he can go in and do a carving and have a friend run a scalpel through his body and as his blood is trickling down his back and as he feels that going through his flesh, everything leaves. Clint begins by saying, "Maybe this isn't a good idea. Maybe I don't want another trip to the emergency room." He says the scene is not funny, not hot but just pathetic and that's what he was: pathetic. The explanatory lines for his segment pop up: Clint, Writer, Recovering Goth. From a coffee table book, he shows a picture of himself and explains that it was the first time that he drank someone else's blood but that he didn't ingest it. That came later, he adds. Holding the book, he says that he can't look at this usually. He says that looking at the gothic version of himself makes him uneasy and makes his stomach churn. Clint says that he knew that his sexuality wasn't the norm in high school and that people were calling him a fag long before he ever knew what it was. What excited him about the goth scene was that his sexuality was accepted. Wrapped in plastic wrap, Michelle says that she likes to think of herself as a hopeless romantic, searching for the bigger and better way to express her love. She wraps Phoenix up mummy style and pushes him back on the bed. Lines pop up to introduce Phoenix: Phoenix, Michelle's Boyfriend. He says that when you really care about someone, you can take your passion to an extreme without worrying about what the other person thinks, whether they think that it's sick. Phoenix is shown dripping hot candle wax onto Michelle's back. He says that there are a lot of things about Michelle that turn him on. It can be a certain look that she gives him and that he'll be pretty turned on for the rest of the night. Michelle says that she brought him flowers and that each one has a meaning and considers that goth sex. She says that when she started doing S & M, she was looking for someone she could trust with her life. She shows cuts that they've made on each other and explains that it's the deepest they've ever cut each other. Michelle says that middle America would think that what they do is sick and perverted. Michelle's mom states that Michelle wasn't accepted in the norm of things as a young child and that she's sought acceptance through her peers in the goth scene. Michelle is shown dancing on stage with another woman who has dollar bills tucked into her waist. Michelle says that she got yelled at for being happy; that goths aren't supposed to be happy. She says that just because you're goth doesn't mean that you have to be sad and depressed all the time. Next segment explanatory lines: Goth Employment Opportunities. Michelle's mom says that Michelle called her and said that she was thinking about getting another job; that her girlfriend worked at a club and that she would have to wear pasties. Her mother says that if her daughter is comfortable with that, do it. Michelle then told her mother that her other option was being a dominatrix in an S & M club and her mother says, "Michelle, you're going to look wonderful in those pasties." Info line: Michelle Took The Dominatrix Job. Michelle is shown in her new job, spanking and whipping people. She says that it's very psychological and very mental and that she's not hardcore into the pain aspect but she questions why someone would want to be publicly humiliated. Phoenix is also not too happy with Michelle being a dominatrix because it's all about sexual stimulation. He says that Michelle worked on the wife of a friend of his and the friend said that he had to finish where Michelle left off. Because of the sexual stimulation aspect of it, Phoenix doesn't like it because she's sharing that with other people. Review: Goth Sex 03 At dinner, Phoenix tells Michelle that she's not really learning anything, that she's using what she already knows and Michelle disagrees. She says that she's learning an immense amount by working on someone. It's all about the human mind works and he says that that is not what he has a problem with; it's the sexuality. Clint says that he never planned to ingest blood but the idea of other people watching and filming him was exhilarating. He talks about how normal his parents are, Southern Baptists who married as virgins and never did drugs or subscribed to any alternative lifestyle. When his parents saw the scars on his shoulders, they couldn't understand why he would want to do something like that and he says that all he could do is cry and say, "I don't know." Michelle's mom uses her daughter's quote: "There's only so many ways to have sex," and adds that she must be very creative. An introductory line pops up: Michelle Goes To Goth Sex School. Michelle says that it's all about meeting the right people and asking them to train you. Batman and his lover, Christa, are waiting outside the Dungeon Club and he asks Christa what she wants to do during their evening. Christa says that she wants to be totally and completely subjugated for the entire length of the evening and that she wants to put her collar on outside, right now. Batman produces a briefcase, takes a collar out and is affixing it to Christa's neck when Michelle and Phoenix arrive. Another explanatory line: Batman and Christa Show Michelle the Ropes. Christa continues, saying that she wants to do some heavy stuff, that she wants to really push her own boundaries and wants to put herself totally and completely in Batman's hands. Batman shows that her collar has a dog tag which reads, Property of Batman. Christa finishes by saying that she wants to trust him that whatever he does to her, she will accept. After a moment's thought, Batman responds, "Yeah, I think we can do that." Next is a scene with Christa bound and suffering a flogging as Michelle and Phoenix look on. Michelle says that she remembers watching Batman do a scene and that she was amazed at his talent. "He has these giant fangs and he bit one of the girls he was working on and I was just amazed that the girl wanted it." She continues. Michelle says that they have no boundaries for love and it includes violence, which is a part of humanity, and for them to be able to release that through their love and not really hurt each other is beautiful. Batman swabs Christa's back, giving her kisses while he tells her that he loves her, that her pain is his pleasure and that she gives him her pain like that, nothing is more beautiful to him. Michelle says that made her want to learn. Phoenix wraps her in plastic wrap and puts a gag around her mouth. She says that she really wants to get her nipples pierced and wants Phoenix to do it because it would be an expression of trust. She also says that she's kind of scared because her nipples are extremely sensitive. Explanatory line for the segment: Love Hurts. Clint says that the unknown was a turn on until it became the norm. There's only so many times someone can take out a huge amount of blood, he says. Phoenix plans to have six 8 gauge rings pierced through the skin of his back and he prepares them by bathing them in sterilization fluid. Another explanatory line: Jeff. Piercing Expert. He explains that he knew both of them from the club and that they wanted him to be their guide as they pierce each other. Another explanatory line: Jeff Monitors the Piercing for Medical Reasons. The implements of piercing are shown and both Michelle and Phoenix prepare and they both look like scared school kids. Clint says that he didn't always know how gruesome it could get or that he was just detached. Phoenix lies on the bed and readies himself for the first one. Michelle picks up a huge needle and shoves it through a portion of his skin while he screams, biting a towel. After the first one, she has to stand and take a break, explaining to Phoenix that it's not easy to shove large needles into his skin. Clint says that he thought he was doing those things to get to know himself better but in reality, he was just creating more distance. Michelle accepts comfort from Jeff and says that she really doesn't think Phoenix is going to want her to pull on his piercings while they're having sex. Clint says that unsafe activities went on and afterward, he questioned why he did it, was it worth it and what price will he pay for it. Phoenix states that humans are the most stupid animals on earth. Clint says that he changed and the thing that was scary was when the events weren't scary any more. Michelle finishes the piercings and tells Phoenix that he rocks as he gingerly arises. She is happy that he trusted her with doing the piercings and that every time someone touches them, he'll know that she was the one who did them. Explanatory line: Michelle's Turn. She is extremely nervous as Phoenix pierces her nipples. She screams in pain and after the second one, she says that she feels like puking. Clint says that he was digging for answers through his own skin and in the endorphin rush when he was bleeding. He says that he is much happier now, that he had to go through that darkness to get into the light that he's now enjoying. Michelle states that she thinks goth sex is not necessarily about piercing or bondage; it's about two people who might not be average but are more open-minded and creative in their sexual appetites. She says that she and Phoenix have only been together for 4 months and that this was the most hardcore thing they've ever done and that it will be all they do for awhile. A last explanatory line: Together 120 Days and Counting. Michelle says that five years from now, hopefully she'll have the chance to take her nipple rings out and have a couple of little Michelles and Phoenixs running around. OPINION: Three out of four. This was a nicely-done piece to introduce people to the world of piercing and BDSM (just a hint of that!). I am one of those people who do not like pain inflicted on me while I'm trying to get off (no spanking, either) but it is certainly interesting to see people that do and to hear what makes them tick. Definitely worth watching!
