Friendly Fire

    When a man fucks you, there are moments when his hardness meets each thrust of your hips and links your bodies in a wild tangle of lust and emotion. As your sweat mingles and your eyes meet, you know that he owns you. The pleasure he’s giving you matters far less than the sublime thrill of pleasing him and meeting his needs. He could ask anything of you – demand it, even –  and you’d comply, hoarsely uttering simply, “Yes… sir.”
    In a nutshell, that right there sums up much of military porn’s appeal. It involves a willing submission authority. University of Minnesota professor Cesare Casarino noted that, “Pornography that caters to a military fetish is replete with the carceral and disciplinary spaces that make of the army such a prime and quivering locus for the enactment of male homoerotic fantasies.” And if porn doesn’t make your locus quiver, what’s the point?
    Some of the content on Naked Soldier definitely has quiver potential. “Our drill sergeants will use you and abuse you,” the site warns, “And just when you think you can’t take any more ass-pounding or cock-sucking punishment, they’ll trade off and give you some more.” Military Hazing boasts “fresh-faced recruits, humiliated and abused in kinky hazing ceremonies!!” And when a site uses two exclamation points, you know they mean it!!
    Officer worship is an important component of the attraction for military porn fans. Another factor is the enlisted man, who represents the ultimate straight boy fantasy. Whether they’re skinny or buff and soft or rough, they represent the football quarterback or the boy next door who you could never attain. But in the military, deprived of a sexual outlet, the same men temporarily adapt their sexual behaviors. Indeed, they may even seek you out as a sexual object.
    If there’s anyone who knows about servicing straight servicemen, it’s Bobby Garcia – creator of AWOL Marines. He’s been offering his skilled sexual services to randy Marines of California’s Camp Pendleton for almost two decades. Now there’s a vocation. You know what they say – follow your passion!
    The AWOL magic happens in the semi-creepy basement of Bobby’s base-adjacent home. When a man makes life-altering real estate decisions based on a neighborhood’s sexual predation potential, well… There’s a word for that. Dedication. There might be another word for it, but we’d have to consult the DSM-IV. AWOL’s clips are primitive but real – and Bobby has amassed a huge library of stills and hardcore action clips. Many guys become repeat visitors, simply because it’s an easy sexual outlet.    
    Bobby usually trolls for these guys at local bars. After a potential mark has spent an evening striking out with the ladies (or being too shy to approach them) Bobby’s friendly offer of some free booze and lesbian porn  actually doesn’t sound too bad.
    The erotic potential of “straight boys straying” is also explored at Major Hard-On. Philip Barnes, president of Adult Profit Networks (which runs the site) explained, “These are your average young recruits, getting tricked into doing things they really aren’t supposed to be doing.” Each video includes text descriptions that help to flesh out the scenario such as, “After a long tour of duty with no women to fuck, these guys decided to fuck each other instead of going to a bar and looking for girls.”
    Phillip adds that Military Hard-On also plays to the reality genre by creating clips that look purposely amateurish. He refers to this as “home video appeal.” Ironically, it takes state-of-the-art filtering to give his high-quality source videos that amateur edge. “We’ll edit them to look like they were created by an average home video enthusiast,” he said. At Major Hard-On, crafting fantasies is truly a fine art.
    Military porn fans will also want to check out Military Classified to see Rob Navarro’s unique take on homemade military porn. His models, he says, are  mostly “marines and sailors who happened to cross paths with a pervert like me. To them, bustin’ a nut is what life’s all about.” [Note to self: I think psychologists call this projection!]    At Dink Flamingo’s Active Duty, life is equally load-centric. The site offers more than 400 galleries, plus live shows and video clips. And Military Men Live is yet another “quivering locus” of military erotica offering “military hunks, live on cam and awaiting your orders.”
    Many sites now focus on the military genre. One of the best is Navy Meat, which asks “Are you willing to suck some seamen?” Other keepers in this genre include Boot Camp Recruits, Angry Young Man, Military Jerk Off and Gay Uniform, each of which offers a unique take on the fetish. Also worth noting is Dirk Yates’ continuing homage to the servicing of servicemen at Channel 1 Releasing. And don’t miss Man Boots, Army Meat, Military Fantasy and Patriot Ass. If there was a threat-level alert for porn, these sites would all be coded red for threatening to get you off. Perhaps aware of this threat, Bobby spends much of his time in the safety of his bomb-shelter-like basement.
    Military sex is one of gay porn’s most popular genres, so don’t fight it. Just fall in, stand at attention, and prepare to do as you’re told.
