Bukkake Without Borders


               You gotta love the Japanese. They never invent anything, but they innovate everything. Electronics, the auto industry, the ten man American gangbang. We don’t need plots or sets or actors. We’ll streamline the whole goddamn thing and we’ll call it Bukkake! What does it say about a culture whose idea of recherché erotism is to get 100 interchangeable widgets to blast the punim of some allegedly willing respondent with man-glue? Not much apparently, as this type of film grossier has become as mainstream as D-listers getting out of limos without underwear.  And you know the Japanese…they'll want to take it global!

              There used to be a time in the erotic arts when the actors actually kissed and looked longingly into each other’s eyes before they tore up each other’s shit. In the frontier days of porn bodies also looked human with their various levels of hirsuteness and imperfections. Women were round and curvaceous and didn’t possess the futuristic, bondo-ed, snare drum look of today’s sommeliers de cum.

              Films had plots with set designs and wardrobe. Parodies of genres were not uncommon as anybody who has ever seen Mike’s Hammer can readily attest. Today if you watch an adult film there only isn’t a plot, but there isn’t any lovemaking going on either, just of series of gaggings, clubbings and impalings. And if that doesn’t give you pause to ejaculate add a little bondage, expectoration and humiliation. Women give hand jobs like Sarah Connor cocking a shotgun. Men call women and their genitalia despicable names, then spit on, or slap the corresponding orifice. Whatever goes is the “creep de jour”.

             A naked body for the sake of nakedness is not good enough. Tattoos, piercings are the accoutrements that help us get off now. This is the problem with the wild frontier of the Internet.  Too much until it is not enough. Now it is not uncommon for a 12 year old to know what a booty call is, or to have the website Busty Midget Cock Riders bookmarked, or for that matter own the director’s cut of some German shise film.

            Playboy magazine suffers because of the extremity of what is offered elsewhere. The girls next door are exactly what they are girls who would matriculate at the local university their only kink: to walk around nude in their bedrooms and if you were lucky enough to live next to one you might get a peak which would last you to the last days of your minority.

           When I was in 8th grade my friend Stu beckoned me over to his locker where he showed my a wrinkled, dog-eared, black and white photograph of some wrinkled, dog-eared woman laying on a bed with her legs spread. As I recall she looked rather relaxed as she stared into the lens. That was the first time I ever saw so much of a naked woman my experience being limited to perusing through a paper bag filled with the stroke mags, (Swanks, Pampers and Nuggets to be precise, mild Playboy knockoffs of the era ) I happened to find one day along with an unopened six pack of Colt 45 malt liquor in the bushes behind the municipal tennis courts near my house. How it got there is anybody’s guess, but as I think about it now, the reprobate who tossed it there probably was being called to dinner by the piercing whistle of a tired and aggravated father and hastily ditched the enterprise.

          Well, to say that the erotic voltage I felt standing by Stu’s locker after witnessing the glory of this very average woman was minimal would be an understatement, but as 13 year-old boys go the image became so embossed in the sulci of my brain I was easily covered for the next two years until my parents who had the foresight as to the needs of a 15 year old boy got me a prescription to Playboy.

          Too much until it is not enough.

          I miss the kinder gentler days of 69 when a girl sat on your face because you deserved it and not as a punishment and anal sex was for very special occasions like finding a cure for cancer or negotiating a peace treaty between the Palestinians and the Israelis. Today, the bar is so low it has become the new goodnight kiss.
