Single Sex and the Girl

IN ONE SCENE in Truth or Dare—a documentary, of sorts, of her “Blond Ambition” concert tour—Madonna phones her father to ask if he’s coming to see her perform. He says he understands her act is pretty “racy” and inquires as to whether she’ll “tone it down” for him and the family. No, she answers; she won’t “compromise my artistic integrity.”

A few minutes later, we see that uncompromised artistic integrity as she lies on a bed onstage. The stage is dark, except for the bed. Standing beside her are two black male dancers wearing weird conical brassieres. As she sings “Like a Virgin,” she vigorously massages her crotch, moaning and arching her back spasmodically. There’s more, but you get the basic idea. The huge crowd goes wild.
