简布库艾是比利时有名的艺术家和电影导演，他在1994年执导的《比利时人的性生活》一片曾饱受国内争议，反对者称其颠覆了比利时传统的性禁忌，他甚至收到过激进分子的死亡威胁。不过，布库艾也因此名声大噪，成为比利时艺术界另类的代表。 A writer, Jan Bucquoy, narrates his sex life from his first sexual experience (with a teenage boy a few years older than him) to age 28, where he is living alone having split up with his wife, after having had an affair with a Karma Sutra obsessed model.
