Increasingly the majority of pornographic scenarios conclude with a kind of happy ending called the money shot. At the moment of ejaculation the male porn actor(s) directs the stream of ejaculant onto the face of the female porn actor. This got me thinking. Why the face? Has it not been enough earlier in the film that this woman's body has been likely disrespected by all manner of body punishing acts, including the most recent practise in mainstream porn called ATM, Ass to Mouth (the penis is inserted into the porn actress' mouth directly after anal insertion).
Why the face? In film and photographs the face is literally smeared with ejaculant. The eyes, nose and mouth are dripping with semen. And of course, she is smiling, She is paid to smile. She will not work again if she doesn't smile or at least look unfazed. You can barely make out her expression from under the cover of the money shot. So, she has no face. Her face is obscured by the male ejaculant, the liquid embodiment of his manhood his prowess, defiling her very identity.
Wow. So I was thinking what would a woman do to a man that might be comparable? Would she throw a cup of menstral blood on his face? Would she smear his identity with the dark red output that is the sloughing of her uterine wall? I suppose there is a category of fringe pornography that includes this, but I'm talking about mainstream pornography.
Why is this money shot so prevalent, so expected a part of the culmination of the pornographic scene? Why is it is part and parcel with the experience of the orgasm. It is the complete domination of the woman's body and her identity. She no longer exists. She is annialated through his domineering self pleasure.
Just a thought.
