I’m watching Swedish TV drama Äkta Människor (Real Humans) and one scene from the episode that aired last week (episode 6) gave me a ‘kick’.
In this scene a few minutes from the end, Niska, a liberated humanoid robot (they’re called Hubots in the show) walks into the room where Eva, the wife of a kind lesbian pastor, begins to ring the police. Niska walks to the phone and cuts the cord. Eva, scared, attempts to run out of the room, but not before Niska puts the knife to her neck. Niska then says, “What do you think will happen now, if I don’t have any feelings?”
There is something kinky about imagining yourself being the person the knife is being held to. That rush of adrenaline that is trying to keep you alive. Of course some people will feel the same way imagining themselves as the person holding the knife.
Fetish 101?
