Thespianism





Porn has become more minimalist or shall we say, to the point, than it's ever been. However, it still has its stars. Remember La Ciciolina, the wife of Jeff Koons and one-time Italian poltician, and such great as John Holmes and Harry Reems? Today there are unnamed stars of fetish loops. For instance Any Porn features, the incredibly popular "Two Hotties Take Turns Sitting on Guy's Face." In another world they would have made it to Colbert. Now they are only on they are only on To Night and not the one hosted by Jimmy Fallon. These are two henna haired Russian beauties whose happily tied up "victim" gets sprayed with whipped cream in a denouement reminiscent of one of the early classics of silent cinema L'arroseur arose (1895). It's an updated form of pie in the face slapstick affectionately known by its practitioners as "queening." Every paraphilia has its star and there is one particularly self-effacing master of the genre who is not a Clint Eastwood or Cary Grant,  but who recalls great heart throbs of the past, particularly in his ubiquity. Basically he plays the same role in all his movies--that of the husband of an oversexed wife who coerces her hubby into believing that the marriage will only be improved if he fellates her boyfriend while then watching the two of them fuck. This anonymous and unheralded star of underground cinema would doubtless have merited a story in Arthur Knight's legendary "Sex in the Cinema" column, if Playboy had continued to exist. Linda Lovelace would later claim she'd been exploited during the making of Deep Throat, but remember Pornhub which gets tens of millions of hits per day bills itself as a "community" which is only a hop, skip and a jump from cults like MAGA . Many of today's stars look at their acting stints as pro bono work, whose only benefit finally derives from the tax deduction performers receive for the time devoted to their thespianism.
