Besides the Nude Male Olympics that I wrote about the other day from the magazine “Mr. Sun“, there are three other photo series in that issue. One is a character study of a studly black guy with a mustache, another is a little romantic romp with two twinks taken from a softcore 8mm “nudie film”, but I found some decidedly anti-aesthetic quality to a photo series in the same magazine titled “The Wrestlers”.
Neither of them look like wrestlers, nor to they make any moves that remotely look like wrestling moves. In fact, the “wrestling match” takes place at a non-AAU sanctioned location – a vinyl couch. As always, it’s the subtle things in the shot that intrigue me the most. In this case, the photo of a chubby pinup girl on the floor, the one shoe that looks exactly like a pair I wore at the time, and the rug with the frayed edges. But, best of all, lets talk about the guy wearing black calf-length socks.
As soon as the porn business came of age, one of the first things that is universally acknowledged as “not sexy” is men wearing black socks during sex. That alone often indelibly marks a porn movie as poorly made or cheap, but in this case, I think the black socks are what give it it’s charm. What we have here is two average looking guys trying to have sex on camera without really doing anything that actually looks like sex (it’s tougher than you think…). They fumble around in several awkward positions throughout the photo session, including the other decidedly un-sexy pose – resting his balls on the head of someone sleeping. Wow, hard-on city!
Okay, maybe I’m being too critical, but I get such a kick out of digging into elements about porn that nobody else notices or appreciates for it’s humor, irony and fabulousness. If you think the same way, please join the VIP Room to see more – you’re in for some laughs!
