What appeals to me about this image is more a perfect storm of mitigating circumstances than any artfulness. But I will get to that.

First, there are six dicks shown, eleven men implied: three standing behind the couch serving as a backdrop more than anything else, three on the couch starting with intensely focused masturbating boy (who is the focal point) along with the fellow turned to his left where he is presumably echoing the gesture behind him by grabbing the nipple of someone sitting to his left, outside the frame. In the foreground, three men lay prone; the one with his head in frame strokes two hard ons of the other two. All the way to the left of the frame, a man is sitting on the arm of the couch presumably fellated by the dude to whom the knees jutting into the lower left corner of the frame belong.

I don’t understand why this was framed vertically when horizontal frame would have offered additional contextual information and allowed for a more balanced, interesting composition.

But that is beside the point: why am I posting this?

Simply, it turns me on. And in my experience sexual attraction is rarely as neat and tidy as ‘straight’, ‘bisexual’ or ‘gay’ designations. Well curated pornography should insist on challenging preconceived notions in a way that upholds and respects consent while still pressings against our precious fucking bullshit boundaries.

Here Goldin nicely subverts the woman as the focus while men are hidden/implied trope rife in depictions of sexuality.

I am not really a fan of Goldin but I appreciate how she makes a guy getting a handjob the focus of the piece and its still something that heteronormative folks can find sexy as hell.

And even though it isn’t, I like to think that he has already climaxed and his intense physical reaction is a result the person wearing the bracelet refusing to stop stimulating him post-orgasm.

Largely, pornography is produced as a single-serving ‘experience’. One watches it, masturbates to it, gets off and then shuts it off.

On occasion there’s an image or video returned to over and over—something about the chemistry between the performers, the scenario, etc.—because nothing else reaches the itch it scratches quite like it.

For me, this is such an image. Although it is not without problems—namely, the woman is displayed like a trophy while the men remain hidden. Still, it manages—probably accidentally—to upend these troubling facets in interesting ways.

This is ostensibly a group sex scene: a woman and three men—the woman holds the photographer’s member. (The head of which is just visible in the frame.) Another man covers the woman’s genitals with his left hand, fingers glistening with her wetness. You can see another male foot in the upper right corner of the frame. Splotches of semen appear on the the sheets.

The woman—face flushed, eyes closed, the edge of her lip pinched between her white teeth—is enjoying herself.

What makes this image stand out is its subversion—at least in my reading— of porn’s tendency to encourage voyeurs to imagine themselves as part of the scene. While seeing this makes me wish I had been a party to this event, I never for a second get the impression that I would be welcome were I suddenly to appear en media res.

That is not really a problem, though. It is enough to know there are really people out there having and further enjoying the type of sex I dream often of having.
