Javier Carmona deftly walks the quivering tightrope between sex's two
primary sensations: ecstasy
and discomfort. Some of the discomfort is literal — a girl on a fireplace
mantle struggles for balance against the counterweight of her own enormous
boob. But other shots show a more internal distress that, for many of us,
parallels the fireworks display of thoughts that occur during sex: ambivalence
about our bodies, the unfamiliarity of intimate touch. It's as if he's read our
minds. — Will Doig
