This is the first scene from our “Erotic Playground” series which was filmed in the Austrian Alps at an old monastery. Each scene features models connecting with their younger self and aspects of growing up. Sometimes, it’s about helping our younger self grow and evolve. Sometimes it’s about listening to our younger self – and learning from our lost wisdom and reconnecting with curiosity and joy. Sometimes, it’s a little bit of both.

What’s the message here? Perhaps the best way to conquer one’s fears is to face them – and fuck them – directly. Just as a nightmare loses its grip on us when we confront it, our fears lose their power when we process and integrate what they’re illuminating. Or maybe this scene is about finding pleasure in the darkness or the unknown. Or maybe it’s about finding and surrendering to waves of ecstasy in the midst of a living nightmare. Or maybe it’s just a fun scene with two hot guys fucking.

“Porn is not a monolith, it is a medium used to document and express ideas, and to tell stories. Sometimes it is as simple as ‘these hot people have sex’, sometimes it is about subverting accepted patriarchal constructs and creating space for self-actualization, sometimes it is about mutant aliens fucking in space, sometimes it could be all three. Does the pleasure on screen always have to be ‘authentically’ felt? Sometimes, yes. More often, maybe. Always, no.” (Vex Ashley, 2016)
