When I was a young man I tried to give myself a blowjob when
I discovered the trick to fellating yourself is not to put a pillow
beneath your head, but beneath your neck.
I did as instructed, lifted my legs up against a wall, threw
them over my shoulders, then promptly threw out my back.
I lay cussing in agony for about 20 minutes, later wrote a
column about it and made a fortune for every acupuncturist in the city.
So you can imagine my amazement at the flexibility of New
York actor Paul Dawson, who gives himself a lip-smacking blowjob in the first
10 minutes of John Cameron Mitchell’s 2006 film Shortbus, which just about
every mainstream movie critic in America at the time compared to hard-core porn.
Now, I’ve known a few great pornographers in my life –
Wakefield Poole, Toby Ross, Chi Chi LaRue and Flash Conway, to name but a few –
and John Cameron Mitchell ain’t no pornographer.
But I will say that Paul Dawson has a pretty nice dick.
