About this listen

In episode 6 of The Durex Podcast, we dive deep into the impact of cinema on our understanding of sex, relationships, and pleasure. Featuring Konkona Sen Sharma, a National Award-winning actor and director, and Dibakar Banerjee, an acclaimed film director and screenwriter, we explore how Bollywood and cinema have shaped our childhood memories, sexual fantasies, and societal views on intimacy. From the portrayal of sex in cinema to the unconscious lessons we learn growing up, this episode is a candid conversation on the intersection of culture, sexuality, and pleasure. Konkona and Dibakar share their personal experiences, reflect on how movies influenced their perceptions of sex and pleasure, and discuss the nuances of gendered representations in cinema. Tune in for an honest, real, and culturally rich conversation that challenges societal norms and celebrates the complex relationships between culture, cinema, and sex. Tune in for a raw, honest, and necessary dialogue that everyone should hear. And as always, subscribe to the channel for more raw, real, and fun conversations.----------Watch #TheDurexPodcast Episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDurexPodcastStream #TheDurexPodcast Episodes on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3T9fkVGQmZvoL1E01LPT98?si=jQC0RxioQaSU1QzqRy9rxACheck out #TheDurexPodcast Reels on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedurexpodcast/Follow #durexpodcast on X: https://x.com/thedurexpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Durex-Podcast/61572834612682/----------Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 00:51 - Podcast Starts 01:51 - Konkana Sen Sharma’s Childhood & sex education 05:29 - Dibakar Banerjee on his childhood & how films shaped him as a kid? 08:52 - Do films reflect life, or does life reflect films? 09:49 - What impact do films have on our perception of sex? 11:56 - How easy/difficult has it been for Konkana to get roles in films? 13:29 - Are directors focused on more male-centric or female-centric ideas? 17:50 - Are films focused on catering to men? 20:05 - Is it possible to show sex in a cinema without being vulgar? 22:40 - Dibakar Banerjee shares his experience working with Durex 24:50 - How can filmmakers end good sex? 27:00 - Lights, Camera & Climax 34:16 - Dibakar & Konkana Walk The Durex Pleasure Wall ----------Our host:https://www.instagram.com/abhaydeol/Our guests:https://www.instagram.com/konkona/https://x.com/dibakarbanerjee----------Follow Durex India on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/durex.india/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DurexIndia#TheDurexPodcast #LetsEndGoodSex #DurexIndia #durex ----------About:In a country where pleasure is whispered about, Let’s End Good Sex by Durex is here to start the conversation.
