Aahhh this was so good. The pacing, the emotional depth and complexity were so satisfying. of course the sex was soooo erotic, i think sensitive """straight""" bottoms who cum the second you start sucking on their tits and nailing their prostate might be my type... their faces when he came untouched on camera. So good. I do wish there was just a tiny bit more nuance about exploitation in porn. It's a media trope that characters repeatedly "get straight" and quit the industry at the end (whether that's sex work, escorting, hosting, adult film etc) as a sign that they've matured/gotten "better"/learned to love themselves. I think this story does it well in a way that feels authentic to McQueen's character and i live for watching Seowoon struggle with shame/guilt and pleasure mmmm. At the end of the day all labor is exploitative and we all sell our bodies to do the work we do. Sometimes that's for sex, sometimes that's for standing at a check out lane or working construction or sitting at a desk starting at a spreadsheet. I'll definitely be rereading!
