The marketing campaign, particularly the posters, for Love (2015) certainly was provocative. So the movie starting with Murphy and Electra masturbating each other shouldn't be of any surprise. It just starts up, and there they are...naked before you. Murphy, though, will also be naked emotionally and psychologically during the film. Electra is complicit in their sexual proclivities, married to a unique arrangement which could open their relationship to problems at some point. To see why Murphy's crazy about her, look no further than when Electra performs fellatio on him in what appears to be a parking garage or someplace. She is always looking into his eyes and the gaze carries this desire for approval, knowing that her work is satisfying. That kind of power, the dynamic of offering pleasure and getting it through how your partner totally responds--no faking or posturing--has it's own rewards. The enjoyment of giving fellatio derives from how the recipient reacts. She really wants him to understand it is important to her that this is equal for both parties. Give and take. He must do the same. But her dedication and devotion to their experience is realized in the fellatio scene.
