And they are fucking on every surface, all over the house, and for Amy, of course this is not even REALLY about desire. Or at least, not about sexual desire. This is about her wanting to destroy her life, wanting to exert control, wanting to have some kind of agency in her own house where she feels like a prisoner. She is fucking on every surface, because fucking some young hot Korean dude all over it makes it HERS. She is asserting herself in this space in a way she does not feel entitled to in her daily life. It's about sexuality as power, and as her getting to make choices in her own home even if they're' wrong.
And so, again, poor fucking Paul, this is not about him or for him at all. He, I think, genuinely likes Amy, and we can talk about how naive that is all day long, but it is true. I think Paul is, in most ways, genuinely doing his best. But he cannot see what Amy is doing here, and frankly I thjink if you told him, he wouldn't listen.
In the early days of this show, i talked about her masturbating with the gun and how it was about the eroticizing of her own self-destruction, and it's the same thing here, only Paul is her gun, and the notion of destroying her own life has taken on another tone.
