Today, I received an e-mail from a French sex addict who told me he'd read about my film on a French escort rating website. He gave me the link to the site which had a rather lengthy discussion (in French) of my film (which no one had seen yet). My favorite comment was the following: "I'm looking forward to seeing it, but we should remember that it comes from the States, and is therefore likely to be watered down."
I thought it was kind of surreal to have all these prospective johns discussing my film on a website devoted to exchanging information about the pros and cons of specific prostitutes.
I also learned a new word today. The French sex addict described himself as a "punter," which according to Wikipedia is British slang for a john. I'd never heard that word used in that way before.
