The latter appears in almost all contemporary pornfilms as shown on the 'Spice Platinum'
and 'XXL' channels (the former a Dutch channel, available on cable in my city after midnight, the latter -
a French channel which begins an hour later): asthe 'blowjob'
scene unfolds, the female actor sucks upon the penis of the male, after some initial seconds or
minutes the male begins attempting to thrust its penis deep into the female's throat. Asinmanycases this appears tobe an improvisationof
sorts - not foreseen in the contract concerning the film - the female defends itself by three maintactics:
byturning its visionupwards and establishing direct eye contact with the male and thus undoing
for awhile the spell of objectification which is frequently a main facilitator
for such behavior, by changing the angle of the head and thusmaking the
deeperpenetration of the penis into the throat impossible. andbywithdrawingcompletelyand
breaking contact with the penis, this last strategyis used
mainly whenthe male has tried touse it's hand to
force the head of the female onto it's penis.
If the 'locking'
of the head of the female has succeeded, which prevents it from breaking contact with the penis, and eye
contact does not bring results, then the
change of angle is used. However this occurrence is observable mainly
in 'mainstream' hardporn - there is a separate subgenre
in which the thrusting of the penis
deep into the female's throat is foreseen, and is indeed the main attraction - the 'deep throat'
films or episodes of films, which are
also described as 'face fucking', 'mouth fucking', 'throat
fucking', 'cock gagging' etc. Here a division shouldbe pointed
out: the 'active' throat gratification and the 'passive'.
The active one would be the female
humanactivelyusing it's throat as a sheath for
the male's penis, while the male is keeping still, not participating
inthe act in anyvisible wayapart from some structuredorunstructured verbal communication. the
passive one means that the male human actively thrustingits penis into the female's throat,
frequently bymaintaining the positionof the head of the female in the desired
positionwith it's hands.
The fetish the symbolic penis (the function of which in a Freudian perspective is mainly to
redirect the attention from the vagina) is present in various formswithin the pornfilms, and
I believe the manifestations of this symbolic penis canmost easily be deduced via the
observationof what partsof the females are being sucked and licked bythe male
actors. Depending onthe specific choice the penis may be represented by the fingers, the toes, the
high heels, the feet of the actress.
The male actorsalso do 'blow jobs', but these
are symbolic blowjobs of symbolic penises. Reichdescribes fetishism asa barrier from male
homosexuality - the longing to submit to a powerful male figure is characterized by impulses to be anally
and orallypenetrated. When directed in such a manner fetishismis an attempt to stick a
disguisedpenis to the person in question.
The psychotic desire to drill a hole inthe sexobject
with the penis, described by Reich, is also obviouslypresent in many of the pornographic
movies. As are similar neurotic symptoms recorded by Reich from
male patient's fantasies: The penis was a murderous weapon
or it was used to "prove" that one is potent. ...Onlya rape
fantasy was capable tocompel an ejaculation.'('The Functionofthe
Orgasm, p56) At its root this is a desire todominate through causing pain and
death.
