Remember the time your parents took you aside to have a conversation about the so-called birds and bees? Didn바카라t really happen, did it? Even if it did, the conversation probably made you either squirm, or walk away and start watching reruns of animals going at it on National Geographic.
While there may be more than a degree of truth to the above generalisations바카라insecurities, misconceptions and misplaced morality form part of the sexual experience among those in their twenties, and even lower.
Anupam Barve is one of the three film-makers who have banded together to create a series of eight short films which tackle different curiosities stemming from sex. He tells Outlook that documentaries on subjects tend to get didactic while the youth prefers storytelling. 바카라I didn바카라t want to make a documentary about awareness because the tendency is to get preachy and the youth will say: 바카라Gyaan mat do!바카라,바카라 he says. He mentions that while documentaries tend to get a bit preachy, drama 바카라is more about the imperfections, making it more human.바카라
The films were a result of research carried out by the Prayas Health Group, an NGO with a focus on issues around sexuality and HIV/AIDS. People from different sexual orientations between the ages of 21 and 29 were heard out in Pune. While the research is still taking a final shape, the themes that emerged from those conversations have been addressed in the series titled 바카라Safe Journeys바카라.
The films talk about safe sex, masturbation and porn addiction, consent, child sexual abuse, self image, unwanted pregnancies and mental health. Two short films, titled 바카라Kab Kab Jab Jab바카라 and 바카라Dekho Magar...바카라 are already out on YouTube, the first almost hitting a lakh views at the time of writing.
바카라Kab Kab Jab Jab바카라, starring Parna Pethe and Suvrat Joshi plays on the qualms a woman and a man have about repercussions before a heavily-hinted-at sexual encounter. 바카라What if there isn바카라t a condom involved,바카라 is the question being asked.
바카라Dekho Magar...바카라 deals with porn addiction, masturbation and commonly held perceptions surrounding the issues. At one point, our protagonist, the 바카라addict바카라 has a sleepless night wondering if it indeed takes a thousand drops of blood to make a drop of semen as his chum suggests. The films are more about debunking such myths and taking the conversation forward.
Barve says the intention behind the exercise is dialogue. 바카라The response has been interesting. People had questions about condom usage in oral sex, for example,바카라 he adds. The films have a one minute monologue at the end, 바카라a call to action바카라. The second film, 바카라Dekho Magar...바카라 looks at masturbation and porn addiction. 바카라We don바카라t take a moral position on porn, for example바카라just that don바카라t try and force someone else to watch it without consent. What people have to understand that it's exaggerated, a bit like the cars flying around in Singham,바카라 says Barve.
