Videographers Forget How to Shoot Double Penetration
I was at my local pornshop the other day and saw a new porno by the very shaggable Damon Dogg (at least I think it was Damon's new venture Damon Dogg's Cum Factory, I'm pretty sure) that is devoted mostly to double penetration. I haven't seen this video, but judging from the pictures on the wrapper, it's all conventional double fucking. What do I mean by this? It's the familiar modified doggy style staging: one top on his back fucking with the second top giving it the doggie way. That's all I've seen by our great videographers, and I've concluded that the directors feel that this is what we, the videowatching public, want to see.
I know these guys might recall one William Higgins. William Higgins goes way back to Pre-Condom Era, and through his Catalina Studios defined a specific look to his porn: palm trees, swimming pools, lithe clean-cut hairless boys with flawlessly styled hair who rarely broke into a sweat...ah...ugh. This William Higgins culture was not my thing, even then...but the guy knew how to stage a double fuck. I recall one of his videos, styled in a prison motif...I checked the Catalina videography and couldn't even guess at the title, so that part of this story is lost...but therein was the perfect doouble fuck. So I can't direct Paul Morris, Damon Dogg, Frank Stein, Ben Baird, Gary Carlton, etc. to the right video, but here's the set-up: take two tops on their backs, butt to butt, and then have the bottom straddle them and take both dicks up his ass, positioned so that we get a full frontal of the bottom riding those dicks. True, this staging is going to require a really big ass with a big stretchable hole, like, ah, uhm, Jesse Balboa, Danny Lopez, Ray Dalton, Damien Silver, for example. If William Higgins could make it look good on the floor of a prison shower...and I don't like much of what he did (except for Chad Douglas)...any of the great current porn directors could take note and make it great in their own ways.
I think it was Liam Cole in an interview who said he didn't direct his performers; he just let them go at it. I figure that most directors work this way, and it's too bad. It's why we have a lot of hot guys having sex that doesn't do much for us. Any good director is going to visualize how to use his players. Otherwise, it's amateur stuff that belongs on Xtube. I've been viewed many times on Xtube getting fucked by hot poz dicks, and sometimes it was fun to watch later and other times even I would just want to move on...and it was me!
The couple of times I appeared in a studio bareback production (for Hot Desert Knights), the director Ray Butler did provide some guidance, how he wanted us to stand, move so that the camera men could get access to the angles he wanted. If you leave it up to the performers, you're going to spend a lot of time in the editing room and end up with some mediocre porn, mediocre bareback porn. So maybe that's why the double fuck scenes haven't been so great: the guys don't even know who the fuck William Higgins is!

I think the video you mentioned is Powertool.
Rob, I think you might be right. Now I gotta track it down.
Joanie, as far as I know they've all been removed over time. Only a couple were any good, and I'm glad they're removed because I didn't like the way I looked.
I agree would have been hot to see his hole hole getting bred with a raw poz cock and load./
