Sexing It Up

By: Cal Y. Pygia



What catches your eye when you're viewing sample pornographic video clips on the Internet?

When it comes to sex, my own tastes are eclectic, although I find myself watching videos involving anal sex, bisexual threesomes, cum shots, gay males, lesbians, oral sex, public nudity, shemales, and spanking the most, with occasional forays into vaginal intercourse, tit fucking, and interracial sex.

With rare exceptions, I rule out films in which the actors are partially dressed, tattooed, or involved in novelty scenes (wearing a Santa hat or a nurse's cap, for example, or bearing, or being penetrated by, an impossibly large, artificial phallus).

(Here's a tip for those few of you who are relatively inexperienced in surfing for, and saving, Internet porn clips. Sometimes, by right-clicking an image that's linked to a set of video clips that open on a subsequent page and selecting "Open Link in New Window," I open a whole new page of linked images instead of the set that I had intended to access. When this happens, I tend to save the new page to my "Favorites" folder for later access, dismiss the new page, and return to the previous page. When I right-click the same image that I originally clicked and select, again, "Open Link in New Window," yet another new page of linked images may appear, in which case I may also save it to my :Favorites" folder, for future reference or I may simply return to the original page for a final attempt to access the set of images that I am interested in saving to my hard drive and perusing at my leisure. In many cases, the second or third attempt will be rewarded with the appearance, finally, of the desired set of images, and, by right-clicking on the image of my choice and selecting, from the drop-down menu that appears, the "Save Target As" option, I can save the video clip to a designated folder on my hard drive. Never download porn unless you are sure you have a damned good anti-virus program installed on your computer)

Having ruled out images of partially dressed, tattooed men and women and actors involved in novelty scenes, I select one of the categories of my own interests (frequently shemales engaged anal or oral sex with men, women, or one another), and let my eye travel among the images which appear on the screen after I click on a link in a browser's list of websites dedicated to video clips of such sexual activities or types of sexual partners. Acting purely on impulse, I select this or that image. (In this essay, I am restricting my observations to heterosexual anal intercourse, but many, if not all, of my thoughts could equally well refer to any type of sexual activity with any type of participants, male, female, or shemale.)

It is only after the fact that I muse upon my motives for choosing this image over that, asking myself what prompted my decision. A number of considerations appear to have occurred at the moment of my selection, which I have since made conscious criteria for selecting additional images of the same nature or kind. These criteria, I find, have another application as well--one that may be of interest to writers of erotica such as appears on Literotica, because these criteria can be used as principles for selecting details for one's compositions and for intensifying the erotic impact of one's fiction.

Women's facial expressions are one of the things that attracts my eye. I am drawn, especially, to women who smile or grin while their asses or cunts are impaled upon a thick, rigid cock, because these expressions signify their enjoyment of these acts. Although it is true that their pleasure may be entirely feigned (anyone may smile or grin, after all, whether he or she is in fact enjoying the moment), the viewer is free to assume that the smile or grin is a sincere reflection of the delight that it appears to signify.

For the same reason, I am attracted to women whose countenances betray emotional or physical distress or anguish. In porn, sex, regardless of the form it takes, is often more about naked lust than love and about power, control, and dominance (or, depending upon one's point of view, powerlessness, being controlled, and submission), and expressions of anguish or distress reinforce these concerns. Of course, the effects of either expressions of joy or distress are enhanced when the woman who makes them is young, nubile, and beautiful. Edgar Allan Poe maintains that there is nothing more beautiful than the death of a beautiful woman. If he's right, then a close second is the suffering of a beautiful woman, which is why expressions of anguish, especially amid scenes of bondage and discipline or forced sex, oral and anal in particular, tend to be particularly exciting. (For the same reason, an anus that has been forcibly enlarged, through butt fucking, to many times its original size, is very erotic.)

Expressions of anger (frowns, glares, gritted teeth) are also arousing, because they indicate that the woman is furious about the indignity, humiliation, and pain or suffering she is being made to endure at the hands--or, more often, the cock--of the man who has penetrated her orally, vaginally, or anally, merely to use her for his own pleasure--a pleasure that is often associated or derives from his treating her as an object to be not only fucked but also humiliated or even brutalized. Coupled with her apparent helplessness and passivity--her tacit compliance, in other words with her own violation--her expression of anger and, indeed, sometimes hostility or even outright hatred, is extremely arousing to behold.

Probably the next thing that catches my eye is the position in which the coupling couples couple. When it comes to anal sex, I prefer to see the connection from above, in profile, or doggy fashion, with just the buttocks (and anus) showing, without an exposure of either the cunt (in heterosexual scenes) or the cock and balls of the penetrated party (in gay male or shemale scenes). However, if the genitals are shown but the position is one of my preferred, I would probably add the video to my collection, especially if the penetrated ass is smooth and creamy. I also like videos that show the penetrated party straddling a guy, with his cock up the penetrated participant's ass, although, for me, this depiction of anal intercourse is not the most appealing enactment of the act. Extreme angles, in which the pubes or buttocks and legs are foreshortened and the figures seem to have been telescoped, or elongated, are appealing, too, because unusual.

Penetration--the intrusion of the erect penis into the anus and the initial slide of its thick length between the buttocks and into the rectum--is itself a charged moment, of course, as is the knowledge that the recipient of the cock has been, and, indeed, continues to be, impaled by the male sex. The bit of force that is required, in most cases, to penetrate a man's or a woman's bottom symbolizes his or her submission and, consequently, the penetrating party's dominance.

It is sexy to watch a cock plunge back and forth inside a greatly expanded anus, too. If one has been so penetrated, he or she, watching this occur on screen, can recall how the stuffing of the anus and the plunge and retreat of the penis within the ring of the sphincter feels--as if one is being first stabbed and then disemboweled. There is also the fear, however absurd, that the ramming prick may split one asunder. If the viewer identifies with the penetrating party, rather than the penetrated participant, he is likely to recall the sensations of his cock gliding through the anal ring and pulling returning again through this same snug portal, back and forth, continuously, often with mounting passion, greater force, and, often, quickening pace. The smooth, fluid glide, back and forth, either at a constant tempo or with increasing vigor, is a joy to observe, too. In addition, it is fun to watch the guy's cock enter a woman's rectum to the fullest extent of its length, so that the ass fucker's balls collide against the perineum and lower portion of the woman's unoccupied cunt.

There is a satisfaction in the irrelevance of the cunt. In Western culture, the twat is sacrosanct, and, even if women themselves are regarded as whores or sluts, their precious pussies are esteemed as holy relics, to be revered and worshiped at all times and at all costs. This adulation of the cunt is sometimes mistaken, by the dimmer wits among the female sex, as implying a natural superiority of the female, over the male, sex. The ignoring of the cunt in anal intercourse (or its relegation to secondary and nonessential status) elevates men to a position of equality or, perhaps, even superiority, restoring the respect that they lost long ago, when women's major role in procreation was first realized. Anal intercourse thus restores to men the balance or ascendancy that they enjoyed in pagan days, wherein sex was seen as either a matter of pleasure or a matter of the male's sexual "conquest" of the female. A cunt, anal intercourse, suggests, is not necessary (or, perhaps, even desirable) for sexual intercourse and, indeed, another man may provide the same opportunity for such intimacy as a woman offers. In short, anal intercourse clearly shows that the cunt may be ignored as irrelevant to sexual pleasure.

Cum shots are likewise sexy, especially when the semen is spurted into the anus, over the buttocks, or along the vacant labia. Bubbling up and oozing forth from a gaping asshole, sperm also looks lovely, and "proves" that the male has reached his climax via anal, rather than vaginal, intercourse. Butt fucking, in other words, is proved, by the cum shot, to be sexually satisfying. (Once again, cunts, although they may be welcome, need not apply.)

Sometimes, a second woman will be present in scenes involving heterosexual anal intercourse. This second woman is often a lesbian who masturbates the impaled woman as she is being fucked or eats her pussy. Occasionally, the butt-fucked woman will eat the other woman's cunt. There is also frequently a kissing of breasts and a sucking of nipples by one or both of the female participants. Alternatively, in some such scenes, a second man appears, whose cock the butt-fucked woman typically sucks, although, on much rarer occasions, he may perform cunnilingus upon her or masturbate her as she is being cornholed. In even fewer instances, one man may butt fuck a second man while he fucks a woman (or even a third man or a shemale) in the ass.

Properties ("props") can add to the enjoyment of watching anal intercourse between a man and a woman, and some videos will feature a nubile young woman of legal age who looks several years younger than her actual age. Described by the producers of such videos as a "teen" who is "barely legal," this young woman is likely to be slender with small breasts. She is apt to have a youthful face and to exaggerate her apparent youth by wearing her hair in a ponytail or in pigtails. The bedspread upon which she and her paramour engage in anal intercourse is likely to be either of pastel, feminine colors (for example, pink, lavender, and rose) or bright primary colors (such as reds, yellows, and greens) with a floral print design or one featuring toy or animal shapes. The rest of the bedroom may echo the youthfulness of the "girl" (actually a woman of legal age masquerading as a "teen").

A random object also snares the viewer's attention on occasion. In one instance, as I was watching a comely young vixen being fucked in the ass, my gaze, noticing a distraction, caught sight of the young woman's discarded panties, lying upon the carpet next to the bed in which, upon her elbows and knees, she performed her passive and receptive role. For some reason, the sight of her bunched-up and discarded panties loaned verisimilitude to the scene, making her seem like a real woman, rather than a dream girl. Fantasy women, after all, don't usually wear panties and, if they do, chances aren't depicted as having cast them off in such a cavalier fashion. On the other hand, men wearing hats or caps or shoes and socks and women wearing halter tops or brassieres without any other clothing or high-heeled shoes while otherwise nude interfere with my enjoyment of the scene because these article seem out of place as accoutrements to sex anywhere else, except, it seems, in pornographic photographs or films.

In one video, a young woman is held aloft by a man whose penis penetrates her anus. His hands cradle her thighs, and her back is against his chest. Repeatedly, he lifts her to the level of his waist and lets her drop back to the level of his thighs, thereby driving his cock up her ass with each drop and withdrawing a length of his prick each time he lifts her. A second man shoves his cock up her cunt, and she is sandwiched between them. This interaction of players certainly gets one's attention!

Sometimes, the recipient positions herself upon her elbows and knees, on the floor or a mat, the male, kneeling behind her, penetrating her and fucking her in the ass, doggy style. In other films, a young woman lies on her head, her shoulders, and her upper back, the upper portions of her buttocks resting against the edge of a couch and her thighs extended forward, along her sides, with her calves raised toward the ceiling. Legs spread wide, a man straddles her ass, perineum, and cunt, impaling her anus with his cock and, rocking his hips simultaneously up and down and back and forth, fucks her derriere. Because of the unusual position that is employed in them, such scenes as this also catch the viewer's eye.

By changing positions, perspectives, camera angles, props, and focal points; by showing facial expressions; and by emphasizing the pace and force of penile thrusts, close-up shots of the impaled anus or the bounding testicles, and footage of ejaculating pricks and gaping assholes, pornographic filmmakers sustain the interests of even the most jaded audiences. Writers can learn from filmmakers. By describing not only the appearance of their characters and the sexual acts in which they engage, but also a variety of positions, from different perspectives; by depicting props with symbolic or metaphorical values; by focusing upon stray panties, dildos, and other objects; by showing facial expressions; and by emphasizing the pace and force of penile thrusts; by including close-up shots of the penetrated anus or the bounding testicles; by describing ejaculating pricks and gaping assholes writers, like moviemakers, can keep their stories fresh, sexing up the action and the excitement.

Whether one watches, reads, or writes about anal sex, bisexual threesomes, cum splatters, gay males, lesbians, oral sex, public nudity, shemales, spanking, vaginal intercourse, tit fucking, interracial sex, or other deeds and their doers, he or she is apt to discover what filmmakers have already learned: not only sex itself is sexy, but so is virtually everything--and everyone--associated with it.

For men, mostly the cock and balls (and, in some cases, the nipples and the anus) are erogenous zones. Women, by contrast, put men to shame; women are hard-wired for sexual response and, therefore, sexual pleasure, having no fewer than a dozen--count them! a dozen--erogenous zones: their boobs, their clits, their ears (that's right, their fucking ears!), their lips (facial as well as vaginal), their necks, their backs, their legs, their asses, their footsies, their hands, and their arms! Hell, one might as well say that their whole bodies are comprised of one erogenous zone after another or, indeed, that their bodies are just one big erogenous zone, period. Writers of erotica can and should take a lesson from the ladies. As my review of heterosexual anal sex videos indicates, and as women's bodies also testify, virtually anything associated with sex can be sexy. Erotic writers of the world, unite: branch out; be pansexual, both as a man or a woman (or both) and as an author. Sex it up!
