The specificity of pornographic films lies not in the depiction of sexual intercourse, as such, but in what Žižek casually mentioned in “Pornography, Nostalgia and Montage”, speaking about the structural impossibility of fitting a complete sex scene into the fabric of a “regular” narrative plot. Desire, directed at an object in the real, but unable to penetrate the screen of the symbolic, is forced to be content with the mirages that appear on its surface, each time realizing its mistake.
