Pirate vs. Ninja
Here’s something a bit different from our usual fare! A couple of years ago, a local alternative press paper called The Stranger decided to run an amateur porn contest. We thought that it would be good promo, a great sex-positive cause, and most importantly, a lot of fun, so we entered it.
We knew that we wouldn’t be targeting a specifically BDSM-friendly audience, so we wanted to keep things on the light-hearted side, but without sacrificing the things that would make it hot for us. We tossed around a couple of ideas (some of which may yet make it into future contests) before we decided to tackle the age-old battle between pirates and ninjas.
My girlfriend Maxx was cast as the strong, silent ninja type, and I took on the role of her natural enemy, the swashbuckling pirate. The “booty” was fetchingly portrayed by one of our lovely friends.
The whole experience was a blast from beginning to end. As off-camera primary partners, Maxx and I have some pretty intense chemistry. I have to admit that I completely forgot that the camera was rolling during our sex scene! This shoot also contained my very first porn-incurred injury (a sprained ankle during one of the fencing bits), some great lines both on-camera (”You’re not bad-lookin’–for a ninja!”) and off (”I’m not wearing anything under my gi.”), and some entertaining outtakes (watch the credits).
The screening festival for the finalists was also highly entertaining–and a bit embarrassing. It’s one thing to shoot porn, but it’s another to see yourself 8 ft. tall and having sex while 200 other folks watch beside you!
This may be the only time you’ll see glimpses of the “bottom” half of my switchy identity on camera. I have to say that being katana-fucked by a ninja on the big screen was a life goal that I didn’t even know that I had until it was met. *g*

We shot this at the ‘new’ old Vogue (the one on 11th, not on 1st)- Monny & Shawna were nice enough to let us use the space during the day (we did a paid shoot there at one point too). Lighting was tricky, but I think we managed alright. We didn’t storyboard, but it was still much more like traditional production. Very different from our usual ‘get in front of the cameras, have fun, see what we’ve got afterwards’ thing. ^-^
I didn’t make it to the afterparty, but one of our crew that did said Dan Savage mentioned that he liked it because we managed the transition from campy to sexy more-or-less gracefully. I edited this and had a tough time of it, so hearing that really made me happy. I think the foley made all the difference…
We didn’t get anything in last year’s contest because we were both utterly fucking swamped, but we still have a really good idea we want to do, hopefully we’ll make it in to this year.
