Voiceover is a description of sexual imagery repeated several times, first by a man, then a woman, then together. Because it's My Image - Watching the Leatherman: a black man gets dressed up in his leather gear, S &M Style. We hear him describing his garments, but the main audio is a voice that talks about television, voyeurism. She and She: a woman strips, gets into some kind of odd metal breastplate and codpiece, she skips the metal pieces. During this segment, a female voice talks about sharing space, the audience trusting the character and vice versa.
