(Totally about man-on-man sex, in the plainest street language, so off limits for kids and the sexually modest.)
(This posting is something of a placeholder, something to assure you that I am in fact not dead yet, while I struggle with a much more complicated posting about English syntax.)
Well, yes, it is a depiction (in an ad for a Lucas Entertainment gay porn scene in an e-mail ad yesterday morning) of raw anal intercourse. (Which I find quite moving in those terms, and which also allows me to fantasize being the guy taking it up his ass with such enthusiasm, as was my custom in a previous life):
(#1) Dean Menace (more accurately, actor DM’s character in this scene) seduces Louis Ricaute (again, actor LR’s character): flagrantly offers LR his hot ass, begs LR to fuck him, to give him what he needs, to fill him up with that big dick; and LR athletically obliges, smiling with pleasure into the kid’s ecstatic eyes
But it’s also a careful composition of bodies in relation to one another, two interlocking and complementary semicircles, joined in two places: by the top’s dick in the bottom’s ass; and by their exchange of gaze, face to face. These two points of intersection are also the foci of the viewer’s interest: the sex act itself, of course (fucking is what the audience is here to see); but faces always claim our attention, so we’re attracted to the faces.
The faces tell an emotional story that’s more deeply satisfying than the jack-off tale. Getting off on their fuck is a quick and transitory thing (I’m not putting it down; such scenes get me off a couple of times a day); but what DM and LR are performing with their faces is an act of love, of mutual regard and intense pleasure in each other’s company. The (mutually satisfying) fucking and the gazes together are the outward and visible signs of an inward grace. Beautifully staged by the director and photographer and performed by the two actors.
And there’s more. The composition also illustrates a particular position for fucking. For the bottom: supine with his knees drawn up — missionary position. The top isn’t, however, kneeling on a surface, but is standing at the edge of a bed — a position that requires some athleticism and strength in his leg muscles, but allows the two men to find an angle of penetration that will provide both of them maximum satisfaction. Most of the work has to be done by the top, and it’s a skill. This mutual adjustment is shown very nicely (from the outside, though the relevant sensations are in the men’s bodies) in #1.
Then there are the character’s identities. The porn actor LR is Venezuelan, so Latino / Hispanic, a brown guy; but he looks Afro-Venezuelan, so he would count as black too, and there could be some Amazonian indigenous element in there as well (racioethnic categories in Latin America tend to be complex):
(#2) LR doing a beefcake pose, with his pornstar dick (big but not out of scale for his long body) cropped out of the photo (Lucas photo)
The actor presents as versatile in his porn work, though in the scene in #1 his character is simply a top. A top to DM’s character, an enthusiastic bottom who’s capable of turning, satisfyingly, into a howling bitch in heat as soon as he gets a hard cock inside him. DM is young and cute, playing a seductively smiling twink. So the twist in #1 is, as the caption says, DM seducing LR. LR isn’t a aggressive top, “taking” DM, but is instead an amiable top who’s drawn into fucking DM by DM’s wiles and importunings:

The scene from LR’s point of view:
he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain meat and first he put his arms around me yes and drew me down into him so I could feel the embrace of his hole yes and our hearts were going like mad and yes I said yes I will fuck you Yes
