Shot in the streets and homes of London and the open air, EAT MY SEX is a celebration of sex, a de-mystification of the phallus and an exploration of the body, both sexual and political. Scenes of almost Bacchic abandon are given a voice-over of an unconsciously self-parodic 1950s BBC English accent putting forth an anti-sex, pro-censorship point-of-view which is then mixed with another voice offering much the same opinions so that their incomprehensibility becomes a metaphor for their moral incoherence. The essential deadness of their repressive values is counterpointed with the life enhancement of sex. The video could be seen as a journey from public to private worlds where realism merges with fantasy and the surreal to offer a creative overview of heterosexuality from a woman's point of view.
