Annotation
The Roundworld referent is most probably the Marquis de Sade's 120 Days of Sodom, in which the positions are not completely physically impossible, but would involve a great deal of physical discomfort at the very least, and excruciating physical pain at the very worst. De Sade builds his unique personal philosophy in which he defines a basic human right to do anything he damn well likes to anyone he damn well chooses - allowing them only the right to become a sadist to others in their own turn (should they survive). As the book defines a sort of Fascist philosophy of human sexuality, this was filmed by Pasolini as a satire on the last days of Mussolini's Italy.
