Hard to believe, when I know so many fabulously kinky people. I can certainly find loads of great female performers. But most of the male submissives I know aren't comfortable appearing in a video. And I won't make a video with people wearing hoods and masks to hide their identities--it's just too tacky.
After eliminating the camera-shy boys, I'm still searching for guys who are willing and able to do fairly heavy BDSM. Acting ability is unnecessary, though, because I hate porn movies that try to have a plot, or even very much dialogue. "Secretary" director Steven Shainberg and I made a deal--he won't show anyone being spanked in his movies, and I won't show anyone trying to act in mine.
Next requirement: handsome boys, with yummy bodies that will look good naked at my feet. Forget the PC, everyone-is-beautiful-in-their-own-way philosophy. It doesn't sell porn tapes. However, they don't have to (or get to) fuck anyone. There is no actual sex in my videos, because it's porn-industry conventional wisdom that if you have heavy SM and fucking in the same video, you're begging to get hassled by the feds. The exception: Gay SM porn has it, and usually gets away with it. According to bondage-porn veteran Ernest Greene, that's because district attorneys are too homophobic to look at videos of fags getting tied up and fisted, much less a jury. But I'm not a fag, and I don't want to be a test case during the Bush administration. I'll let Larry "Deep Pockets" Flynt fight for my civil rights on that one, thank you.
So, where in this town are all the male masochistic exhibitionists with flat stomachs? Tell you what: Saturday October 19, I'm performing at the Paradise Hotel party. It's drinks, music, and sexy interactive performance art, put together by the Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Fest. If you're a cute, kinky exhibitionist, come see me at the Paradise Hotel party, or e-mail me at the address below, and we'll talk about casting you in a Mistress Matisse production.
Paradise Hotel, 2018 First Ave, Sat Oct 19, 8 pm.
