Natural Romance



http://www.sundancechannel.com/greenporno/
I am absolutely enchanted by the most recent season of Seduce Me by Italian actress/model/philanthropist, Isabella Rossellini. It is the follow-up to the web series Green Porno, both produced by the Sundance Channel. Rossellini writes, directs, and stars in these charming and informative shorts about the animal sexual behavior with alluring wit and artistic romance. Using brilliant colored-paper costumes, she details the mating rituals of a variety of animals from bed bugs to dolphins. Rossellini explores the dynamic nature of animal sexuality highlighting homosexual, transsexual, bisexual, asexual, and hermaphrodite behavior. Highly recommended for nature lovers that appreciate the "adult" side of the animal kingdom.

They are used in some high school classrooms, but I think that teachers should choose wisely the videos they will show in class. Some videos are more physically explicit than others and some animal behavior is pretty wild (dolphins for instance--wow!). With good judgment, the series can elegantly capture the diversity and passion of animal seduction. Bravo!
