I saw the film in the theatre, and there were indeed two erect penises in the scene. I definitley saw that! The question, though, is whether or not they are REAL erect penises. Ozon's fellow Frenchman, Catherine Breillat, is well-known for the use of erection prosthetics in her films, for example -- in fact, she not only uses an erection prosthetic but also satirizes her use of erection prosthetics in her movie-about-movie-making, Sex is Comedy. (Good film, by the way.) Perhaps Ozon got from her the idea to relieve his actors of the pressure of maintaining erections in the unnatural context of a film shoot by adopting the same trick. The scene, as it appears in the film, is too dark for me to tell.
And the camera angles used simply didn't allow the view to determine whether or not any actual penetration occurs on film. Which leads me to believe there wasn't any.
