BEHIND THE SCENES:

After the fantasy of the gokkun comes the reality of the BTS. Reality is things like Jim Powers saying “Clean out your pussies girls”.

The first BTS features Melissa Julianna who has to think for a second before remembering her name. She says she is 19. This is just wrong. She declares she loves her job because “I get to have sex all day long for money. You can’t have a better job”. What sort of monstrous innocence lies behind such words. She says she is an ex-catholic schoolgirl and that she has just started doing porn. It figures. We see her chatting with Jim Powers and telling a story about how she went to pay in a porn cheque and because of the company name on the check the cashier called her a whore which made her cry “because it’s so disrespectful you know”. Jim agrees that “it’s totally wrong” and even manages to sound sincere. Before the gokkun, Melissa has a bad attack of nerves at seeing so many guys and decides she has to puke and is happy to let the camera guy follow her into the bathroom to film this. She says “Dick told me there’d be like 20” which I take to be a reference to Dick Nasty who featured in a documentary a few years ago about Max Hardcore where he did the exact same thing of throwing a new girl to the wolves by intentionally not telling her the full horror of what awaited her. Jim reassures her by saying “Trust me honey, all you do is sit there and drink it, it’s no big deal, it’s simple”. He goes on to somewhat erroneously say “Winston Churchill said the only thing to fear is fear itself” to which Melissa adds “… and poisoning from cum” which is just fucking great. Jim reassures her about how they’ve all been tested and she has more to fear from normal porn guys than these guys. “They’re not all porno guys?” asks Melissa wide-eyed. “You’ve seen these guys – do they look like their getting laid anywhere?” replies the camera guy. “It’s like having a gang bang with a bunch of monks in Tibet – you’re not going to catch anything” concludes Jim.

We now witness some ultra-cynical manipulation from the director doing what directors do – whatever it takes to get this thing done. We see him telling the assembled degenerates to be respectful “Six months time she’ll be dying to work with you guys but tonight she’s brand new” making it clear how he is perfectly aware that her soul will soon be broken by the industry. Then we are back stage where he is all sweetness, giving hugs and reassurance as if her welfare is all that matters to him. Melissa is so nervous she starts farting! This is really terrible to watch. She pukes before going on set but this doesn’t faze Jim who assures her “Mick Jagger used to puke before concerts all the time”. He tells her “These things are really popular” and gives her a glimpse of the glorious future that awaits her if she does this – appearing on the Howard Stern show! Her face grimaces with another wave of nausea. It is at this point we see Melissa hook-up with Johnny Thrust who tells her he will buy her favourite dinner if she goes through with the gokkun. Amazingly this seems to work and she goes further asking if he will have sex with her. He says he will but “you’ll have to wash your mouth out first”. So now I’ve gone from feeling sorry for her to thinking wow, she really is a fucking whore.

We now get some BTS of her gokkun. It seems that every time a guy cums he gets a yellow sticker – the purpose of which eludes me. We get to see why her measuring jug was replaced – because Melissa puked into it. This is absolutely revolting – and not in any kind of good way. Jim tries to get her to relax dryly saying “We don’t want to waste the sacred sperm”. After the gokkun Melissa is rushing for the shower. We get to see her completely honest opinion of the gokkun “Gross – so gross”. The final insanity to top it all is when the camera guy says how he wants to piss on her while she’s in the shower. She shrugs and say “Okay, I’m already dirty” but we don’t get to see that thank God.

Then we have the BTS for Chelsie and Keeani who introduces herself by saying “I like to suck cock and drink a lot of cum I guess”. Chelsie asks the camera guy if the girl-girl action was hot. The camera-guy assures her it was “real hot”. She giggles a lot. She is always smiling and friendly and giving the impression of complete naturalness, the sign of a real pro. Camera-guy asks if Chelsie has swallowed anything close “a close to a hundred” cum loads to which Chelsie casually replies “oh yeah” as if that number doesn’t even remotely faze her – she’s way past that. She elaborates that she hasn’t had them all at one time but “I’ve swallowed a lot of loads” she concludes. Keeani asks her what was the most at one time and Chelsie instantly replies “64” explaining this is her second gokkun. This is the first time I’ve heard an American porn star say the word “gokkun”. The depth of perversion behind this word is stroke-worthy unto itself. Mysteriously her right eye twitches as she says the word. Keeani says she’s only swallowed 12 loads at one time so this will be “way more”. She is clearly looking forward to proving herself today “I’m not chicken or anything”.

The BTS provides the visual confirmation that it is indeed Gia Jordan taking pics. Some slob steps forward, blocking her shot and she gently tries to tap him out of her way – this being picked up by Jim Powers who yells “NO MAN ASS” [in the camera shot] at the guy. Jim describes directing the bukkake boys as “like talking to lemmings” presumably in that they are all desperate to throw themselves over the cliff of orgasmic cum-shot oblivion.

We see the girls going back and forth with the tube and the massive amount of semen. A voice assures them “Keep doing it – this is incredible” and they purr with pleasure at his words. We see a guy standing there, watching this, jerking his TINY dick. Surreal.

The real shock of the BTS is to suddenly be confronted with the knowledge that both the girls’ boyfriends have been there the whole time. This drives Jim Powers crazy “These are real life couples CUMMING together!” he yells at the camera and forcefully encourages Gia Jordan to take a picture of this depraved foursome. While this is going on it is interesting to note Chelsie flinging her arms wide open to her boyfriend looking for some sort of congratulatory hug but he refuses to touch her. Gia and Jim proceed to organise some nightmarish parody of a prom pic from Hell. Keeani’s boyfriend plays along but Chelsie has to reassure her boyfriend “I’m not going to touch you” for him to even approach her though he relents and lets her semen-soaked fingers touch his T-shirt. The resulting photo is pronounced “so cute” and “adorable”. Jim asks, “What do you think of your ladies?” and Chelsie’s head snaps up to her boyfriends to repeat with a serious tone in her voice “What do you think of me?” Chelsie’s boyfriend says, “cum sluts… glazed” in a vaguely approving-but-avoiding-the-question way while Jim Powers offers “Filthy hookers?” Nobody acknowledges his comment but for a split second everything we have seen is recontextualised anew through the prism of heedless avarice and the abysmal depths of what capitalism and men will reduce women to.

It is striking how relaxed and easy-going the girls are in the aftermath of this insane endurance test. No meltdowns or vomiting that day. The humane part of me is profoundly grateful for this small mercy. There seems no doubt at all that both girls would do another gokkun if asked. Chelsea in particular really makes it seem like nothing at all – giving a thumbs up and stating casually “It was good”. Just incredible.
