We were having a nice easy gentle discussion yesterday about the whole pornographic industry being made especially for me. I know this sounds nothing short of stupid, but when I think hard about it, the idea gets kinda scary in its legitimacy. I mean, things just seemed too perfect to be true, while caught up in those loopy films. That body, that face, that colour lipstick, that look in her eye, the words she uttered at me…it was all seemingly preordained. Those long evenings sat alone with just an adult movie for company, after being wrenched apart from all other social networks like work, friends, and family…wow…it was just me and them, forever meant to be (until I wised up to what was happening).
The actors would frequently tell me that the video they were making was prescribed uniquely for me, that I was their sole audience. I never believed them to begin with. The idea sounded preposterous. But then I got to thinking about it. These skin flicks are not like Hollywood blockbusters, which are available in multiple retail outlets. For all I knew, a pornographer may have made just one copy and inserted it at eye level/buy level in the shop just before I walked in. It wouldn’t be too difficult logistically, with me being stalked, tracked and harassed around the clock anyway, for kicks. Gang-stalkers are like that. They love leaving gifts for you. It used to be dead animals and suchlike along my routes, birds with their wings clipped, skinned rats (yuck!), stuff like that. I’m surprised they never left sweet little thank you cards with them.
Once, the Eternal Footman, my personal nickname for the Devil, appeared in one of my porn vids. He looked like an old man, based on the original Poltergeist movie. That movie spooked me as a kid because there was one scene where said ‘old man’ was perving on a kid through a patio window. I found it dead scary because he was just fixated on this child in broad daylight. He didn’t have a knife or anything, that would have been O[ver]T[he]T[op], for he didn’t need one, the whippersnapper wasn’t aware he was being observed, he was just sat indoors watching the telly.
Now, listen here. I can’t be sure, okay, but I think something similar happened to me when I was a small boy, just after being made conscious of this creepy screen occurrence. It’s nothing like a concrete memory, but I have a fear, almost, of being observed through the window by an old man. To this day I have a deep-seated dread of the evil buried in old men’s hearts. Call me weird, but it’s true. I’m less scared of 300-pound gangsters than I am of old fogies. That Poltergeist movie has planted an errant seed in me from childhood.
The Devil as an old man on one of my porn vids, however, well, how ludicrously peculiar do you want it? He inserted himself in place of the girl to break the connection, I think, between me and mentioned girl. I was on some kind of hallucinogenic blend of aphrodisiac cocktail at the time, seeing double, all the colours in the vid ramped up to maximum vibrancy, her theatrical makeup positively glowing, there was something really rather special about this one scene in particular. She was getting well and truly obliterated by numerous blokes. It was having significantly unforgettable ramifications on me. It was an uncommon marriage of drug potency and scene novelty which would have had me seated there together for many many hours more if the old jester hadn’t plonked himself in her place. She would have taken all of my good charms away and left me with nothing. One minute the beautiful star was an old man in a gay scene. I turned it off immediately, amidst screams from my neighbours. Funny how my neighbours always watch porn alongside me, with their thru-wall technologies.
This may seem kooky also (what doesn’t today) but every time I decide to have a porn sesh, the estate acts as if there’s a royal wedding on. All the kids come out to play, fireworks go off, they even set alight solid oak wood barrels in flame on the local grassy park and cook party nibbles like kebabs. Seriously! There’s a carnival ambience in the air as I go to meet my dealer on the corner. I only sample it for several minutes but it’s definitely real. I often see a Chinese lantern or two sweep by on the breeze. I can only imagine the gossip on the snaky tongues of those involved in being voyeurs of my demise.
I exchange money for poison on the corner, and then that’s me taken care off for the next three days. At first it’s a rush with the fresh men-eating women in latex, one of ‘em might even have a plastic lash (how’s that for novel) but it soon turns to funk once the Devil lays his occultish and nutty five-card tricks out and about the digital premises. If the ‘connect’ between us (me and the porn star) is too persuasive, he might possess her and make her eyes black or something, to put me off. There’s no end to the strangeness of ornate psychosis whilst watching mock sex, let me tell you. Nothings off limits.
One time the man’s willy grew a set of teeth and started trying to bite the woman. I could hear my little sister twenty miles away saying, “Why’s he schnappin’ at her?” I may have mentioned this one before. Belter. Another time the girl had three boobs. She happened to be sat on a Komodo Dragon. None of it quite so funny at the time, when there’s an intruder in the kitchen firing invisible microchips into my eyeball to make sure I’m under no illusion upon whether the threat is real. And what the f**k is that growling behind the fridge!? Just another assassin don’t worry your head off.
Terrifying ain’t the word. I wonder what their hands are doing just outside of view, if they’re out of shot. If I start to hear uncomfortable or disturbing noises on the audio track, which is not too unusual, I’ll presume that their hands are coated in blood, and that they’re chopping up puppies off camera. Maybe they are Jesuits and satanic ritual abuse means nothing to them. Who knows who the hell is making these sleazy movies? AND FOR ME ESPECIALLY!!! It all gets very dark from hereon, and I may start skipping scenes, looking for something more digestible. I rarely ever find anything better, once the mood is lowered in this tacky way. I’m too paranoid and suspicious by now.
The more I explore though, I find, then the more I, er, find. Or discover, shall we say. There’s a lot of demoralising material contained in one 25 minute XXX scene, and 5 scenes regularly on one disc. It’s bonky galore. I have a method of trawling through them, after being a self-employed (of sorts, I certainly put enough hours in) connoisseur of this oddball artform for a sufficient amount of years. The good bits are obvious to me, and the bits I’ll be looping on short giff-like repeat. I’ve never watched a full movie from start to finish. Most of it is crap. A mixture of shoddy artistic production, amateur camera work, and silly women messing around with juvenile props, like baby oil. I can’t believe what I’ve bought or downloaded, much of the time. It’s really pathetic. And then bam! It’ll reel you in with one shot of veiny cleavage or something. And before you know it, you’re studying a small amount of footage very carefully indeed.
Just to reiterate, it’s been a whole year since I indulged in erotica. I’m doing awesomely well and very proud of myself. I’ll look a numpty, won’t I, if I come back here next week and admit I ‘ve been watching filth? Mistakes happen though, I’m aware. I could go ten years and then relapse. The longer I go without, the more I want to return. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. And all those painted dolls are only getting fitter and fitter! But, you know, so far so good. I prefer a pretty angel for a peck on the cheek these days, rather than full-blown intercourse with a fire-breathing hooker.
