I don&#x27;t know if Insex was <i>that</i> influential that it influenced the modern &quot;torture porn&quot; films. Those were brewing for a long time since the exploitation films of the 70s onward.<p>The interview was definitely an Insex plot device, as well.<p>Though my point was the S&#x2F;M subculture should not really be viewed negatively or marginalized. I somewhat received that sentiment from your parent post.
