Donkey Punch

Kim & I ended up watching Donkey Punch on Saturday night. I'd seen it in the listings and was curious as to what it was. The film is a 2008 British thriller about a group of British people on holiday in Spain who end up fighting for their lives. The film was written and directed by Oliver Blackburn and David Bloom, and stars Nichola Burley, Tom Burke, Jaime Winstone and Julian Morris. Apparently it was filmed in 3 weeks with a budget of £500,000. Here are a couple of photos of the cast:




So what's the title mean? According to Wikipedia donkey punch is slang term for an apocryphal and potentially lethal sexual practice supposedly performed during anal sex. The purported practice involves the penetrating partner (a male) punching the receiving partner (male or female) in the back of the head or neck (what is known in boxing as a rabbit punch, after a technique to kill rabbits). The alleged goal is to cause the receiving partner's anal passage to tense up, thereby increasing the pleasure of the penetrating partner; however, there is no medical evidence that it works, or for that matter any reason that it would. When used, the donkey punch is almost exclusively executed during or just before the orgasm of the penetrating partner (see Orgasm control). There is some controversy concerning whether the initial sexual act is restricted to anal sex prior to the donkey punch, or whether muscular contraction after the blow to the back of the head or neck during vaginal sex can also qualify as a donkey punch. It has even been proposed that a possible use of the donkey punch is to create a situation in which there can be a "surprise anal penetration" tantamount to sexual assault or rape.



This sort of sexual behaviour is not my cup of tea or Kim's either. I couldn't imagine doing something so dangerous. Kim and I are into most stuff so long as its safe but I couldn't ever imagine this.
