Nous aimons l’amour et le plaisir. La nature nous a fait ainsi. Mais hélas, nous intégrons dès l’enfance, que notre sexualité est une chose sale et honteuse, une chose avec laquelle on est bien obligé de composer, mais qu’il faut tenir caché. La sexualité fait fondamentalement partie de nos vies, mais, à cause de la honte, dès qu’il est question d’images, sa représentation est absolument schizophrénique. D’un côté, la pornographie, omniprésente, hyper consommée et passablement déconnectée de la réalité des choses ; et de l’autre, des récits de vie dans lesquels le rapport amoureux est une ellipse, des vêtements ôtés à la hâte sur un tapis, des ombres chinoises, une fenêtre ouverte sur la lune. Moi, je pense qu’il n’y a pas de honte à avoir et que la loi n’a pas à s’immiscer dans les chambres à coucher, tant que ces choses-là se passent entre adultes désirants. C’est une démarche engagée. C’est un acte politique.
