Swim Meat, the video

(Publicity for a gay porn video, entertaining in its way but absolutely off-limits for kids and the sexually modest)

🎃 🎃 🎃 three jack-o’-lanterns for penultimate October, Halloween Eve (that is, the day before the day before the day of the dead) — in my house, the day when the pussyboys go out to seek their phallic prey

Into this scene comes this morning’s e-mail from the Falcon | NakedSword Store, offering:

Hot House movie download discounts — full movies $11.95 each

With, right at the top, the crudely pun-titled video Swim Meat and its cover illustration, offering four fine pieces of swim meat, one (Johnny V’s) just barely concealed by his swimwear; plus three proudly jutting tubesteaks that I’ve had to suppress for WordPress modesty (but here you can view the uncensored cover, along with the publicity text):


Raw swim meat displayed by, from left to right: JJ Knight (with his upcurved cock, which you can view on the RedTube page for him, which has a nice full frontal of a pleasantly smiling Knight)), Remy Cruz, and Cade Maddox — four pornstar dicks, four pecs and abs, and four different facial expressions (on the basis of which I’d go for Maddox’s nice-guy presentation)

This being an ad and not real life, I suppose we shouldn’t be alarmed at the waves lapping at Johnny V’s and JJ Knight’s calves, apparently an incursion of the ocean into the poolside scene.

But the publicity text. From Hot House, in all of its raunchy glory (I’ve divided the text into descriptions of the five scenes, plus the flanking material on either side):

[intro] Swimmers are known for their hard bodies and tight shorts that barely keep their meat under wraps. Trenton Ducati directs a team of nine hunky studs just waiting to get down and dirty and aching to show off their Swim Meat.

[1] Remy Cruz is sore from his intense swim routine and seeks the help of sports therapist, Cade Maddox. Cade works over Remy’s asshole, fucking him deep and draining his balls all over Remy’s face.

[2] Pool boy Danny Gunn finds himself in a three-way with JJ Knight and Johnny V. Danny can’t get enough dick and soon finds his ass getting an extreme workout as JJ and Johnny DP his tight hole with their monster cocks.

[3] Sean Maygers gets out of the shower and is surprised to find Casey Jacks in his house looking for his buddy. When Casey sees Sean’s raging hard-on, all bets are off and soon Sean is balls deep in the young stud.

[4] When Casey Everett hurts his shoulder doing laps in the pool, he pays a visit to Cade Maddox. There’s not much shoulder therapy going on as Cade sticks his thick cock deep into Casey’s open hole. The stud pounds away until he unleashes a fountain of jizz onto Casey’s face that lands in his mouth and drips down.

[5] When Hoss Kado peels off his swimsuit and opens his legs, JJ Knight takes his cue and eats Hoss’ smooth hole. Hoss needs a lot more than a tongue and bends over to get his hole reamed until his ripped body is covered in a creamy load.

[wrap-up] Sit back and let the hunky studs of Swim Meat be your guide to ripped swimmers’ bodies and open holes just waiting to be plundered by giant throbbing cocks.

Now for a certain amount of analysis.

Vocabulary. The text is, unsurprisingly, jam-packed with sexual and sexually tinged vocabulary; it is, after all, a summary description of a series of man-on-man sexual encounters. So it will draw on affectively neutral or positively-tilted expressions for male body parts and appearance and sexual acts: hard bodies, tight shorts, ripped swimmers’ bodies, hunky studs, opens his legs. And it will freely use everyday street language — cock, dick, hard-on, balls, ass, to fuck (this text has the more colorful jizz instead of cum and lacks to suck only because its so anally focused); plus vocabulary for acts that are specialties of gay porn: three-way, to DP ‘to double-penetrate’). Vocabulary that pretty much comes with the territory.

This text uses asshole ‘anus’ just once, and then moves to ass and hole, both of them briefer and neither of them suggesting an insult, so probably a good move.

But then, as with some types of restaurant menus, this text (like most porn publicity texts) indulges in flights of ornamental language — vividly descriptive, extravagant, hyperbolic:

unleash a fountain (of jizz), creamy (load), to plunder (holes), giant throbbing (cocks), to drain (his balls), raging (hard-on), to ream (a hole), to be balls deep in (someone)

Consider giant throbbing cocks, the concluding phrase, the climax, of the Hot House text. In porn, all cocks are large, but giant is hyperbolic. Meanwhile, throbbing is, strictly speaking, redundant: a cock that isn’t throbbing is a cock that has no blood flowing through; it’s a dead cock. But throbbing cock is in no way pointless or merely repetitive; it foregrounds the throbbing, makes it the point of the phrase. I have talked about throbbing cocks in my day; the four instances of throbbing cock(s) on this blog have three from porn sites, but this one is from my own hand:

Ripe jocks, musky socks and throbbing cocks are all part of the supercharged sports fantasy

And I’ve written about the sensual pleasure afforded by the throbbing of a cock.

Discourse organization. This particular text is unusually formulaic. Each scene description begins with a sentence (or the first clause of a sentence, for scene 5) that names the participants and literally sets the scene. The remainder of the text then tells us who did what to whom, succinctly but with great feeling.

Meanwhile, the scenes as described are exceptionally anally oriented; the participants signal their desire for sex, and then quickly get down to fucking, though with some ass-eating as foreplay in scene 5. Typically, the sexual activity in gay porn has fucking (often in several positions) as its culmination, but with several stages of preparatory sex acts, involving kissing and stroking, maybe other body play, oral sex, and rimming or finger-fucking or both. In longer-form porn, these sexual encounters occur as part of a love story or as episodes in a series of encounters, typically on a journey.

More swim meat porn. The Hot House video is by no means the first gay porn to exploit the sexual pun meat on the event-noun meet. At least these:

the 1988 videos Swim Meat and Swim Meat II from First Class Male
a video Swim Meat (originally in Hungarian)
a 2001 video Swim Meat (Maîtres nageurs sauveteurs) from Body Prod

There’s also non-sexual swim meat used for meaty food served at swimming events — a more ordinary N + N compound.

    My first “religious experience” was at the YMCA in Charlotte… swim and gymnastic classes, seeing the junior counsellors in the shower and locker room, Speedos and jocks. I do recommend the “Trunks” series.
