In a cabin in the woods, a nun discovers an ancient text that releases a love demon. Possessed by the incubus, the nun is pulled towards the pleasures of her flesh. The Madonna and whore battle within her and, as her pleasure grows, the whore looks to win out. But the difference between purity and depravity is a myth, and her body’s rapture brings the nun closer to God than all the prayers could in the world.

The piece, initiated by Nat Portnoy, conceptualized and shot by Amsterdam Queer Porn Collective, oscillates between the genres of experimental video art, video art performance, and reality porn, sliding between fetishes such as bondage, erotic asphyxiation, sensory deprivation, and deconstructed nylon fetish.

The '60s and '70s were the peaks of personal liberation. Sex was a space for experimentation after reaping the freedoms of the sexual revolution and the women's and gay liberation movements. Powered by a deep desire for pleasure, self-expression, and the need for connection, sexuality became an open space free from the oppression of the '50s—and the results were wonderful. Dirty Martini explores the world of sex parties in the '60s, culminating in a stunning pansexual orgy.
