Foreplay

By Julie Talon

With the advent of smartphones and social media, the demonstration of first love excitement has changed drastically in recent decades. The first kiss is no longer a rite of passage, but is gradually replaced by foreplay: caresses, touching, fellatio, cunnilingus… All these gestures of affection and seduction shape the codes of a “new love order” of the 21st century, shaping societal norms as we know them.

By giving voice to the “real experts” concerned with the issue – teenagers and young people aged 12 to 23 – this tender documentary offers us a realistic portrait of today’s sexualities, opening up discussions about  respectful relationships.
