Fun Porn

I like watching people fuck as much as the next fella, but I'm not a major consumer of porn videos. So when one of my friends had to move back in with his folks a couple years ago, and gave me his tapes, my collection easily tripled in size. And I still haven't gotten around to watching them all.

But I was watching one yesterday that had something I really liked. The tape was Blonde Beach Boys from Vivid Video, and appears to be a collection of scenes from other titles. It's mostly pretty standard stuff: no stories, scripts, or "scenes", just pairs of fit 18-30-year-olds taking turns sucking and fucking. But the segment I watched yesterday (taken from The Adventures of Sparky O'Toole according to the on-screen credits) was especially entertaining. The two guys in it were having fun.

So much porn is all about In And Out followed by The Shot, and nothing else. The standard joke about porn is how everyone fast-forwards through the dialog, but I frequently find myself fast-forwarding through the almost-mechanical piston sequences. Not just to get to the money shots, but because the anatomical studies are simply boring. OK, I know what balls and a cock sliding in and out of an asshole looks like. Been there, done that. Could you at least zoom out and let me see whether either of these guys is... y'know: enjoying it?

By contrast, the camera in this scene generally kept its distance, and just showed these two guys having sex. There was sucking and there was fucking, but there was also playing: one guy teasing the other guy's cock with his tongue, later pouncing on him to nibble his neck. There was a bit of mutually-apologetic repositioning when they started something new. And the eventual money shot seemed less a matter of "OK, we've got enough footage, go ahead and cum now," and more of "I've held back as long as I can, and I've really gotta unload."

That's what I remember some of my best sex being like. But it's what so much porn seems to be missing. I'm not saying that every video has to be Adult Romper Room... after all, there's a lot to be said for an intense bondage scene, worshipful admiration of god-like bodies, or bucket after bucket of spooge. But if the porn industry wants more of my money, they should try making more of its that's just plain fun.
