How it feels

This documentary revisits several gay porn actors seven years after they first appeared in an earlier film. It shows how some have left the industry while others still work in it. The movie looks at what happens to these men as the porn business changes and commercializes gay life.

What happens

CYCLES OF PORN – Sex/Life in L.A. Part 2 ist ein deutscher Dokumentarfilm von Jochen Hick aus dem Jahr 2005. In CYCLES OF PORN – Sex/Life in L.A. Part 2 kehrt Jochen Hick nach sieben Jahren zu seinen ehemaligen Protagonisten, einigen schwulen Pornodarstellern, aus seinem Film Sex Life in L.A. (1998) zurück. Einige von ihnen haben das Business bereits verlassen, andere arbeiten nach wie vor in der Sexindustrie, wobei die Grenzen zwischen privatem und öffentlichem Sex fließend sind. Hicks Film beleuchtet die Fortentwicklung des Pornomarktes, sowie die Kommerzialisierung des schwulen Lebens und wirft die Frage auf, was jenseits des hedonistischen Sexerlebens für den Einzelnen übrig bleibt.
