Sibel Kekilli, from porn to Game of Thrones

In 2011, the US network HBO premiered an ambitious fiction project with which it adapted the series of epic fantasy novels A Song of Ice and Fire. This literary saga had become one of the most important of the genre in recent decades, although it had always been considered “niche”. HBO’s intention was to present it as an epic blockbuster of pure fantasy with touches of drama and thriller, and the formula worked even better than they themselves expected. The Game of Thrones phenomenon crossed borders and became a true revolution not only in the world of television, but also in culture in general. If before those products were for “geeks”, the series had managed to maximize its audience and bring these tropes into the mainstream. Everyone enjoyed the novelistic intrigues, the epic fights… and the risque scenes.

As in any good HBO production, Game of Thrones also had quite explicit sexual scenes, something that was not so common at the time. The fact of being broadcast on cable television gave much more creative freedom to its creators, who were not shy about taking out nudes in each episode of the first season. Some as famous as one of the protagonists, Emilia Clarke, who played the role of Daenerys Targaerean. The sex was part of the plot naturally, either through the wedding night of Daenerys herself with her husband Karl Drogo, or in different scenes where the characters frequented brothels in different areas of Westeros. As in the Middle Ages, the nobles and knights used to meet in these places of vice and sensuality to enjoy the women bodies, but also to do business. They were very appropriate places to be calm and have all the confidence in the world with our partners. In one of those brothels, little Tyrion Lannister met Shae, a young prostitute who would steal his heart, and who would have a very important role in the first seasons of the series. The prostitute was played by Sibel Kekilli, a German actress who came… from the world of porn.

Schnick Schnack Schnuck, commercial and explicit cinema

Germany has always had a reputation for being one of the countries that has most opted for eroticism and sensuality in its films. Thanks to the sexual liberation of the 1960s, in the German country we have been able to create all kinds of films with nudity and quite explicit situations. Some of them were directly cataloged as pornographic, but in other cases, the dramatic or comedy component prevailed, despite the risque scenes. All you have to do is take a look at all those productions that used to appear with the last name of Report, in the 70s and 80s. We are talking about sagas that have dozens of films in which, within the format of false documentary, they dealt with stories about sex. In Schumalchen Report, for example, the topics revolved around adolescents and young people, how they discovered sexual pleasure, and what they did when their parents were not around.

The tradition continued for several decades with productions in which the directors were not shy about showing very explicit scenes. From Run, Lola, Run to Hotel Desire, more recently and also with very intense scenes in terms of sex. Germany has always boasted of having a fairly open vision on this subject, along with other French or Italian productions, although without reaching that cult point of Pasolini or Tinto Brass strong>. The Germanic country was also a place of refuge for directors such as Jess Franco, an exiled Spaniard, who made soft and directly porn films in the country. It seems that, nowadays, this has been almost completely lost, but there are still small productions that survive. And today we are going to focus on one of the most interesting, not only because of the curiosity and controversy it caused at the time, but also because it was considered a cult film in certain sectors. We are talking about Schnick Shnack Schnuck, a title that refers to the popular Rock Paper Scissors game, and that appeared in 2015 as an independent film. An act of courage and love for cinema and eroticism from a team that paid for the film out of pocket.

All you need to know about sex in Germany

According to their own statements, men in Germany have already slept with an average of ten partners in their lives, while women have only slept with five partners. This is the result of a representative study on sexual behaviour in Germany, which has now been published in the “Deutsche Ärzteblatt”. 2524 people aged 14 and over were surveyed by questionnaire.

Ten to five? Even though men are more likely to see themselves as seducers and women as difficult to conquer, the ratio seems surprisingly high and is statistically difficult to explain, just like porno chileno. These differences are not new: The researchers around the first author Julia Haversath from the Technical University of Braunschweig write that such discrepancies have already arisen in sexual research to date. Psychologists from Hildesheim, Jena and Hanover were also involved.

Why did the Berlin Wall come down?

On November 9,1989 the unthinkable happened in Germany. The Berlin Wall, which split the present German capital in two and became the symbol of the division of the German people during the Cold War, fell after 28 years of construction. Only days before this event, Berliners, both western and eastern, maintained the feeling that this 155-kilometre-long wall was insurmountable and indestructible.

However, it did happen. The wall collapsed after a series of political and social events and triggered the euphoria of Germans and citizens from other parts of the world who learned about the event through news cables or satellite images. The morning after the first night that marked the beginning of the fall of the wall and with it other events that took place at the end of the Cold War, the then mayor of West Berlin, Walter Momper, said in a speech: “Last night the German people were the happiest people in the world”.

‘The Deuce’, a TV series that talks about porn

David Simon is being held at an altar. Quite well deserved, on the other hand, is the world of television’s reverence for the Baltimore author. Their series draw attention, are dense and tell a world that we didn’t know we were so interested in. But it’s also true that it feels bad to be in such high esteem because his style gets greedy, sailing in a sea of vanity that can frighten away. Once this first season is over, I have to confess that I have been beaten little by little.

‘The Deuce’ is a luxurious series and it seems paradoxical because of the fact that it deals with the holes where New York’s unwanted end up. But it’s luxurious you porn because of the names that sign it, because at HBO they trust David Simon and George Pelicanos to simmer a story about a subject as taboo as the sex industry. One of the environments in which the US has been a step behind in terms of visibility with respect to most of Europe.
