“At one point // they stood / around me / in a circle / and I had / to crawl / from one crotch // to another / sucking / on each cock / until it was hard. / When I got all / seven up // I shivered / looking up / at those erect pricks / all different / lengths / and widths // and knowing / that each one / was going up / my ass hole.”

John Giorno: Pornographic Poem

Gay sex was rarely more poetic. The sexually explicit portrait film miniatures by Pretty Vacant Boys are already familiar to regular Pornfilmfestival visitors. In this one-hour anthology film, PVB refer to a poem by the American poet and performance artist John Giorno, which uses pornography as material for the creation of poetry. Just like Giorno‘s poem, these cinematic “Pornographic Poems” are also highly arousing – and at the same time pose the question of the nature of our sexuality. How do we depict our sexuality and our bodies, in language and on the screen, and what actually happens in our heads?
