This is my first post.
This should probably be on a personal blog. But I don't have one, so I'll share this essay here.
These are some ideas that've been floating in my mind, recently.
I'm in my mid twenties, & with humility, I'd describe myself as a renaissance man.
Basically, I'm a nerd who's into art, math, politics, environmental issues, economics, etc.
To top it all off, I've got an intense libido.
I'd like to hug Russell Brand & say: "I GET IT!".
The only reason I mention this is to explain why I love the idea of porn, but hate its execution.
In one sense, I'm like alot of guys: Porn is a quick & convenient way to exercise my sexual nature before going out on weekends.
But in a more tragic sense: My nerdiness prevents me from enjoying much of the porn that's out there.
What turns me on is reality, whereas porn tends to imitate reality television.
That is to say, it's very fake & limited.
The obvious, & over-worn, argument is that there's a lack of story.
But I don't like this phrasing, because it implies too much.
It implies that you need expensive costumes, boring melodrama, horror, or action stunts.
You don't need that.
What you do need are characters, motivations, & subtlety.
- Characters who have real ambitions, jobs, opinions, & quirks.
- Motivations that make me believe she'd want to blow someone so passionately.
- Subtlety which lets you say things (through clothes, glances, & behaviour), without saying anything.
I'll just provide two examples where the above principles worked.
By no means are they perfect.
They're only meant to highlight how decent characters/motivations/subtlety made both a classy & amateur scene work.
On the "classy" end, I recently saw a mansion scene starring Dana DeArmond.
She played a real estate agent trying to sell a house to a wealthy black man.
The guy (perhaps he's not acting) acted like a totally spoiled rich perv.
But the beautiful thing was Dana's acting.
She was hesitant at first, then gave in displaying such shame, but soon grew to be animal-like at the prospect of closing the sale.
What could have been the usual mansion fuck scene...turned into this great depiction of greed & exploitation...leaving me to wonder who was really screwing who in the transaction.
On the "amateur" end, I saw a blowjob scene with Mika Tan.
Every other scene in this series involved mechanical face fucking with the minimum of dialogue.
For some reason, Mika decided played an actual character: a motor-mouth girlfriend.
This guy charges in, & Mika begins listing off a series of complaints about the relationship.
Instead of sitting down & listening, he proceeds to face fuck her.
The beauty of this was that Mika kept reciting a laundry-list of complaints, with a cock in her mouth, throughout the entire scene.
What could have been a boring abusive oral video, turned into this weird commentary on troubled relationships...with the girl frustrated but refusing to give up on her man...and the man just oblivious & selfish.
Again, these aren't perfect examples.
In fact, they're both examples of exploitative porn, made more effective.
If there was porn that reflected love, I'd mention it...but alas, we can only dream...
That's all I have to say right now.
Thanks for letting me share/vent.
