Dyketactics

Dyketactics (1974) echoes the lesbian commune visions of the 70s, circulating a group of women who embrace nudity in a gentle nature, among the green scenery of a meadow. It illustrates a slow build of sexuality, mimicking purposeful foreplay, from inviting nude scenes to a lesbian love scene that is slow-paced and soft. Eroticism comes in many formats; this piece has a place in my channel as it directly juxtaposes Trannyfags (2004), while both of queer nature, they centre very different energies, sexual passion and sensuality.
