Abstract

ABSTRACT: Alex de Renzy's feature-length hardcore film Long Jeanne Silver (1977) stars Jeanne Silver, a lesser-known name in pornography, who was born with a disabled left leg. The uniqueness of Silver, and focus of the film, is her non-normative lower left leg, which tapers into a somatic dildo. The film consists of a number of vignettes that feature Silver penetrating both women and a man with her left leg. For Silver – and her co-stars – her dildo-esque leg is a source of sexual pleasure. Moreover, for Silver, her embodiment provides a kind of sexual agency.
