"i just really like dicks..."
“I just like dicks and I like grabbing them and putting them in my mouth,” says Hunter in Tony Comstock’s newly released Damon and Hunter: Doing it Together, thereby articulating what I like about gay porn.
I have to admit having seen very few porn titles, an admission that almost universally garners the response, “You haven’t missed much.” I have seen two full-length porn films circa 1978 at a drive-in in Marble Island, Vermont. I don’t remember their names, but one rather strikingly had a naked Marilyn Chambers clambering over a ladder suspended above a writhing crowd. I have a few snippets of porn here on Fifi 2.0, mostly anal, because that’s what I like, and some Jenna Jameson, because she’s an icon.
My exposure to gay porn has come mostly from hanging out with my gay friends in gay bars where they like to play porn in the background. Sipping on my Jack & Coke, awash in the male pheromone tsunami, I have happily and idly viewed the porn wallpaper, watched a pool boy be buggered by the pool owner, watched a special delivery be taken orally by an ostensibly irate businessman, watched a couple of happy hippy-types 69 in the back of a campy van. I like gay porn, what I’ve seen of it.
And I like it, I realize, because of all the dicks. The male bodies, the hard flanks, the butt muscles clenching and releasing, the slack-mouthed desire of men, the tufty-shaved chests. Though Hunter wishes he could say it with more complexity, his averral that what he likes is to put dick in his mouth pretty well articulates my feeling about dick: I like it in me.
But what separates Tony Comstock’s gay porn from the gay porn I’ve seen in my past—albeit in bars, so my attention span flickering even if the monitor wasn’t—is what separates his straight porn from the porn I’ve seen: it’s real. It has much, if not all, the bumps and glitches that real sex has—the lagtime, the nervous giggles, the squeezing of tubes of lube, the realistic if visible orgasms.
I have seen Tony’s two other films, both of which feature straight couples, Marie and Jack: A Hardcore Love Story and Xana and Dax: When Opposites Attract. I liked them both. Both of these films, as well as Damon and Hunter, incorporate a documentary segment where the couples talk about their relationship and their sex lives. In all of them, I did find myself occasionally zoning out and wondering when we’d get to the “good” part, but in all of them too I found myself caught up in the couples’ narrative of getting together and getting it on.
Especially in Damon and Hunter’s. Maybe because they are gay, but mostly I think because they are exceptionally well-balanced. And mostly because they clearly have some intense chemistry sparkly-sparking between the two of them: they go all crackle! pop! when they talk about their sex. It makes a dirty girl all dirtywet to watch.
When Tony gets to the sex proper (he intersperses short flickers of kissing, sucking, fondling with the interviews), the film gets really very hott. Tony and Peggy, wife and filmmaking partner, use a very intimate form of filmmaking; the set is a bed on the floor, the camera goes intermittently all fuzzy, sometimes elbows and ball sacks get in the way. It all adds up to a feeling of being there in the room with Damon and Hunter, and I felt welcomed and special being there, even if “there” happened to be in my living room. Though there is awkwardness as the two undress each other, it dissipates quickly and before you know it, Hunter is cajoling Damon’s cock into rigidity.
Which is just one of the things that makes you realize you’re not in Silicone Valley. You never see flaccid cocks in porn. Cocks are everhard, they begin hard and even end hard. The soft cock is anathema in conventional porn, which is just silly because there’s not much more fun than watching a cock grow from vulnerable baby bird softness to fully corporeal rigidity. You get to see that growth in Damon and Hunter, and it’s a beautiful thing.
Damon and Hunter are all about cock, really. There are a lot of up-close and lingering shots of each of them deep-throating one another’s cock, and it’s sensual and delicious. There’s a tremendous amount of fondling of each other’s and their own cock. There’s an extended butt-fucking session, which as a devotee of sodomy I really liked. I’ve never really seen a realistic butt-fucking session until this film, and it was beautiful to see Hunter don a condom and lube his wrapped shaft, and then watch Damon gingerly insert it into his asshole.
It’s hott, the boyfucking.
Like Tony’s previous two films, the couples’ orgasms seem to happen very naturally, very organically. As Damon and Hunter run through a variety of acts—cocksucking, cockrubbing, butt-fucking—they move in what feels a very natural fashion, and their individual orgasms too feel real. As the camera pans in on Hunter’s face as he comes close to coming, it gives the viewer a rare and intimate view. His eyes widen, his mouth hangs, his breath falls heavy. It’s sexy as hell.
I do admit that while Damon and Hunter’s sex felt a bit more rugged than that of either of the previous two films I’d seen of Tony’s, it still wasn’t quite hard enough for my taste. I kept wanting one of them to pull the other’s long hair. I realize that what this woman likes to see in porn is a bit of the rough and ready, the slap, the bite, the gentle pressure on the throat. But that’s just me, and maybe if I keep my fingers crossed and keep on hoping and praying, then perhaps someday Tony will make a happy D/s DVD for pervs like me.
In the meantime, though, if you like hott guy-on-guy action, if the sight of two lovely men swapping spit in their mouths and on their cocks turns you on, if the idea of watching two people who love each other and love to give one another pleasure gives you the good down-low tingle, check out Damon and Hunter. It’s the cure for the common pornnui.

"It makes a dirty girl all dirtywet to watch."
And that makes this filmmaker a very, very happy man!

how does one get on Tony's mailing list? o right, I'm not a sex blogger. Damn.
"there’s not much more fun than watching a cock grow from vulnerable baby bird softness to fully corporeal rigidity"--omg, Chelsea, your descriptions floor me. And you're so right.

Seriously, Tony's films are beautiful, sensuous depictions of people who love each other fucking.
What's better than that?
Go out and buy one. Now.
And escape the dread pornnui.

You know, one of these days I'm gonna have to check out one o' Tony's movies. They get nothin' but love far as I keep hearing.
And you know, boy-on-boy porn *is* hot, even if I don't that much swing that way.

I've only seen a small clip of the film, but I do read both Damon and Hunter's blogs, which I came across accidently whilst hitting that next blog button, and both make fantastic reads!

I'll absolutely have to check out TC now, have been meaning to for a while, I think because you'd written ages ago about Xana and Dax. (I also have to join in on the praises being sung about pornnui, and also EM's comment. So true! You do slay me)
Love

Hi CG, in my ever quest to find excellently rendered gay porn I find this post, and thank you! I hope I can find "Damon & Hunter." Really, really do.
