I made an appointment with Alexander Konoplev in advance, knowing how busy he was with his work in the field of controlling new electronic equipment in the design bureau at the engineering plant.

The theme of our mutual conversation, we have chosen this time, inexhaustible and indestructible genre - the use of pornography in film and video. After all, there are still disputes in the world where to draw the line of artistic eroticism and what is considered acceptable for showing as “porn” that filled all pirated videos and making it almost impossible to search for low-quality products of true art and films made at the professional level.

Konoplev himself could rightly consider himself to some extent involved in these disputes, because he worked as a porn model in the notorious “Studio - 5” and was directly involved in the selection, development and adjustment of amateur scenes and scenarios. and donated free bread - the fee for what was written literally in a hurry for a few days and sometimes even hours, a homemade story. The selection, of course, took place on a competitive basis, but it fell into production only a few units — no more than two or three scenarios of this type per year. But the main earnings in this studio were the “riveting” of so-called educational films on practical medicine performed by the state order of the medical institute or societies promoting healthy lifestyle among young people “Layers of the rural population who sometimes have no idea what is safe sex or the proper use of condoms and other contraceptives. With the emergence of the threat of AIDS - HIV infection for the mass of people, the release of popular newsreels on an exciting topic increased dramatically and the studio expanded and flourished, receiving financial support.

I met Sasha at the bus stop not far from the central Sports Palace, and he handed me a new videotape with another film to watch, and I always knew that I would be offered something interesting and new, including exciting elements of BDSM, S / M, Male and Fem-dom, moreover at a high professional level, filmed not at some sort of “gateway” barn studio, but with the participation of famous movie stars who use to replace ubiquitous extras to develop the plot in the “injected” porn scenes or scenes of violence, and and in extreme cases - and the stunt doubles.

The BDSM theme has increasingly become used by the movie-video industry due to the saturation of the market with all sorts of new and not very, and sometimes well forgotten, plots for filming. However, it is extremely difficult, sometimes impossible to draw that line of good and refined taste that distinguishes a masterpiece from a medium-sized film.

Although, you see, the trend of roughening and averaging the general cultural level of the audience has a clear desire to “lower the bar” of true artistic skill in the production of such films.

Indeed, if we take the centuries-old history of wars of conquest, the era of the conquests of overseas countries, and even the initial stages of development of medieval European states, then everywhere we will meet perhaps the same thing. If a person wants to subordinate or humiliate himself even more like a prisoner who has found himself in a helpless position, or say a slave, then not beating and corporal punishment (as it is popularly described in the literature and considered quite decent) are used in the first place. coercion to expose nudity or genitals, torture and torture on helpless male and female genitalia.And as a secondary, in the form of punishment for disobedience - beatings and deprivation of rights to self-defense on the physical level - immobilization, fasting, imprisonment in confined spaces with restricted movement, visibility, etc.

Not every producer will undertake to cover such topics in the cinema, even if in the film of “increased” erotic content. This becomes available only to true talents, since exceeding the invisible edge is fraught with disastrous consequences both for their reputation and for the film as a whole.

That's why I always look forward to the next film - “toss” from Sasha, knowing that he will not offer anything low-grade to me. Fortunately, Alexei, Alexander’s well-known friend, continues to work in Moscow, his video equipment is kindly leased to me .

Passing by the Institute of Physical Education and peacefully talking on the topics mentioned, we approached the main entrance, where many young people crowded, expecting either the results of entrance examinations or the final decision of the admissions committee. It was in the 20th of August and, as you know, in the mid-80s it was customary to arrange uniform terms for entrance exams to universities, regardless of the profile and direction. So the youth languished in anticipation of their fate and, of course, amused themselves and laughed at every occasion and without him - as she could.

Our attention was attracted by a small group of six or seven people, boys and girls of high stature, tanned and health and youthful. It seems that the group had a good rest in the mountains of the Medeo resort area. It is quite possible to use such guys without any make-up and embellishment to use the advantages of playing sports to advertise a healthy lifestyle and to promote. The guys were dressed in the spirit of the then sports fashion “a la romantic” - in shorter or cropped jeans, barely covering their men's parts and showing their tanned legs covered with fluffy hair with well-defined muscles. The girls stood in short skirts, leaning on their boys and listening enthusiastically to the main storyteller - a young man of 19-20, gesticulating and obviously proud to be the center of attention of such an attractive audience. The story he wore was apparently a sexy shade, as the guy showed with gestures how he allegedly “rape” an imaginary victim in a standing position, while characteristicly twitching with his pelvis. (by the way, this gesture, 10 years later (!) will be skillfully used by a rising pop-rock star - Michael Jackson, driving his fans to a frenzy for more than a decade to come). Do not leave this gesture without attention, and we with Sasha.

- You see how deftly he bends! I think that we need to train for a long time in order for this to happen so attractively! - Alexander noted with admiration.

I must say that the grateful audience was also on top of ecstasy. The guys put their hands in their pockets. trying to cover up the flesh rising from excitement, and the narrator, unable to stop, showed an almost complete erection, which could not be held back by not only melting, but also rough jeans. On the contrary, enjoying the attention, the brave young man continued to shake his hips and squeeze the abdominal muscles, reinforcing the impression of his story.

- - Yeah. - thoughtfully stretched Sasha - this is what irrepressible youth means!

Looks at each of them: M. P. A. - no less than HUNDREDS! And even for more pull.

- - Konoplev said thoughtfully and with a feeling of some envy in his voice when we passed the central platform in front of the entrance to the Institute.

- Listen, what is M. P. A.? - I asked the question with curiosity and impatience, prepared to listen to a detailed answer, and maybe another story.

So it worked! My friend Alexander turned into a nearby cafe "Tulip", letting me know that his story would not be short and would require a glass of wine or a few beers for bottling.

- - -I think, each of us, guys, in his youth thought about that - and what is he and will be in bed with an imaginary partner? Are there ...
