Two muscular men have anal sex with the bottom bent over a desk as the top grasps onto his shoulders for leverage.
It’s a well known fact that facial expressions of intense pleasure mirror those of intense pain with a startling degree of similarity. I find it interesting that, of the two emotions, studies have revealed pain easier to detect than sexual pleasure (PDF). Of course, there may be many reasons for this, but regardless of the reasoning, the conflation of pain and pleasure has also been at the root of many a fantasy.
Equally interestingly is the fact that there are pornographic web sites dedicated solely to the depiction of women’s facial expressions during times of either pain, or pleasure, or both. Since facial expressions are so clearly attractive, why are they so lacking in the majority of porn that depicts men? Further, why are hegemonic masculine men so adamant about their stoicism? I strongly dislike the idea that a “real man” doesn’t cry, doesn’t scream, or doesn’t whimper. When I’m getting beaten, or fucked, the last thing I want to do is “take it like a man.” If I have to outwardly pretend that it isn’t happening, what fun is it going to be? (Hint: not a lot.)
A tip to submissive guys: a blank expression will get you no where; your face will be sexy if you’re expressive, like the sexy man in this photograph.
