The Fourth Wall


All these porn sites have these movies and their stories. These are actual housewives, these are real teens we picked up and fucked and filmed, these guys are letting us fuck their girlfriends for revenge.

All that's well and fine, and I appreciate the fantasy. Really I do. But pushing the point causes the entire house of cards to fall apart. Why am I seeing the same actors? That housewife, she has one hell of a porn-whore tat on her inner thigh; hey, I saw that in “Cum-Eating Ass Drippers.” It's that same couch, why do they all have the same couch?

In the old days, the films tried to create a narrative space in which the actors and story maintained some semblance of cohesion. With today's gonzo episodic look-into-the-camera formats, the emphasis is on intense, “real and spontaneous” hook-ups. In a way we still crave the story,who these people are, why are they there. The whole “Hi, I'm here to fuck, they gave me $2500 today” never gets any traction. Let's pretend she ordered pizza and the guy caught her changing her clothes when he rang the bell.

I'm willing to go with it to a degree, but when every single scene on a site (see Brazzers.com) is exactly the same, with the same actors, same set, same camera moves, it begins to wear thin. The fantasy begins to wear thin. I can't quite believe this housewife is letting her husband watch her fuck that black guy. She looks like she doesn't know him. Show me she's wearing a wedding ring, guys. The ring! Where's the ring?! My dick isn't staying hard, I think I'll fast forward, I'm deleting, I'm cancelling my membership.

It's a fine line between the sites that come across as true transgressive and actual material, and those that are posed and manufactured to take $20 or so out of your account every month. Pink Visual, god bless them, has a great collection of sites, but each scene within duplicates the specific scenario too slavishly to keep you on and keep you up. I defy you to stay a member past 30 days. Guys, buy a new couch. Nuance and details count.

I'm always on the lookout for the "real" scenario that gets me hot, plays as real, and is duplicatable (and beyond depending on tapes sent in from the viewers). Pizza guy with his dick in the box, husband who let's a porn star fuck his wife, or some boat hookup?

No. Now I'm going for the girls and the dogs. Or the UK subway videos. Those people in the background - they're not faking.
