Wright argues that the insemination shows conflicting attitudes to reproduction: while Karl injecting Sandy's right arm with a needle (top) inhibits fertilisation, the phallus between her legs (bottom) enables it. Warren said the phallus was not meant to be a penis, but an artificial insemination tool. He added that due to censorship, the scene was shot "impressionistically, [...] like a dream": "[I]f we had shot it straight, it would have played like a rape scene and been cut out. So it has this sort of abstract quality to it that the censors didn't mind."
