Gay Porn eXposed!

When I'm forced to mingle with people outside the gay porn world at dinner parties, weddings and the like, few things bring me more joy than the look in people's faces when I tell them what I do for a living. Regardless of who it is or how much shock they feign at first, everyone always wants to know what it's like to be on a porn set.

Here's the sad truth, people: It can be pretty fucking dull. I ain't complaining -- it's a hell of a lot more fun than working in an office, but at the end of the day, a job's a job whether you're counting beans or wiping sweat out of Rod Barry's crack.

While more mainstream outlets try to capitalize on the general public's fascination with skinflicks (see HBO's insulting Pornocopia, or World of Wonder's excellent Inside Deep Throat,) it's no surprise that the gay porn studios are following suit.

Riding off the runaway success of Buckleroos, COLT is angling for the holy grail of porn, mainstream acceptance with a 1 hour 35 minute making-of documentary called "eXposed: The Making of a Legend", that's -- gasp! -- softcore!.

Meanwhile, Raging Stallion is taking perhaps a more modest approach with their (similarly named) "Paradise Exposed", which gives viewers an behind-the-scenes pass to the filming of their latest epic, Passport to Paradise (Currently it's available on the second disc of the two disc set).

Both are pretty fascinating and provide an unprecedented level of access to the behind-the-scenes goings-on of a porn movie. While Passport to Paradise shows us the full hardcore monty, COLT's "eXposed" eschews flesh to ask more serious probing questions (and provides some insight into the wonderful conundrum that is Mr. Pam, who shot, directed and edited it.)

Neither one is the first. In 2001, Kristen Bjorn released Behind the Curtain: The Making of Moscow, a feature-length "doc" about the making of Moscow: The Power of Submission (Hands-down my favorite Bjorn film and one of favorite porn films of all time). While Bjorn's provides plenty of jerk-off material in his making-of, don't expect it to ask (or answer) any of your pressing questions about his production.
