Bestiality Chic from Josie Maran, Terry Richardson, and of Course Bodil Joensen

I recently came across this image which I had seen before from the “On the Farm” spread that Terry Richardson did with supermodel Josie Maran (the one with the appendix scar and of Sports Illustrated, Victoria’s Secret and Guess fame among others) for Sisley. You can see the whole “On the Farm” spread here.

My reaction was the same as when I first saw these photos and similar to the reactions of other people who have seen this set: I couldn’t tell if I was turned on or disgusted and freaked out. Of course sex with animals is as old as the hills. Not my cup of tea for sure, but something that’s well ingrained in our collective memory. Think Greek mythology for starters. While I like Terry Richardson’s work a lot this one was pretty damn fucking insane, though.

Which of course also brought me thinking about the bizarre, sensational and ultimately, incredibly sordid and strange tale of Danish bestiality porn actress Bodil Joensen.

Bodil was actually good looking. She only became a boozer and drug addict when her fame faded. And she actually did enjoy having sex with hogs, horses, dogs and other four footed friends. What is interesting apart from her paraphilia and whether she may or may not have been mentally ill to engage in such activity, is that she became a bit of a pornography sensation. In fact she was a “porn star” in the real sense of the world, written up in the papers, travelling to film festivals, you name it. In fact one of her films was produced by Ole Ege and Shinkichi Tajiri. Exploitation of a woman with serious psychological issues? Most likely. The surprising part is how popular she became, and how the initial shock was also touted as the ultimate form of “sexual liberation.” But the hangover from the 1960s hit in pretty quick and pretty hard. Bodil ended up being forgotten and became a degraded streetwalker in Copenhagen before dying of cirrhosis at the age of 40. Depressing? You bet. Sorry if I’ve ruined your erection you bestiality loving freak! But the point is, it also got me thinking, with the current crop of gonzo porn being aimed more at degradation and shock than arousal, I’m surprised that some kind of faux animal sex themes haven’t been popping up more. And btw, a naked girl on a horse doesn’t count. And also, that when everything is permitted, nothing shocks us anymore. You can read more about Bodil here if you want to keep getting depressed, or aroused, whatever’s your fancy but now let’s get back to some nice fun wholesome PORN.
