Hidden camera porn: hot, but problematic

I love the low-fi texture of these videos, the graininess and the reality


I remember once watching some hidden camera footage from a change room. It was an unmarked VHS tape, no credits at beginning or end, and you could tell it was real. It was the hottest thing to watch and made me wish I had access to more things like it.

The hidden camera genre of porn is problematic because to release porn commercially, you have to have signed consent forms from the models. I would imagine there was (and still is) some sort of underground market for this type of stuff, but I don’t know anything about it.

What I do know about is the company Angry Young Man (angryyoungman.com), which releases stuff advertised as “real military men” at “actual military bases.”

The producers have 41 movies and counting with titles like Manhandled Midshipmen, Alpha Males at Play and, my favourite, Relax the Muscle (Volumes 1 to 4).

Relax the Muscle is a medical exam series. There are three military guys per volume; each is given a physical. They strip down and are weighed, then the doctor (whose face is blurred) does a testicular cancer exam and shoves his finger up their asses for prostate checks. Then they piss in a cup and get dressed. That’s the whole scene. There are three or four static camera angles, and the editor cuts between them. Watching the military guys being vulnerable and naked with a male doctor is hot.

I’ve seen a lot of staged medical exam porn (by well-known producers like William Higgins and Chris Geary), and while that gets me off too, they are too obviously staged.

Angry Young Man seems more genuine. The FAQ page on the site implies that the vids are real and candid, but there is a statement that the producers have proof-of-age documentation for the models.

However they’re making these vids, it’s hot stuff.

The site also has a fair amount of shower-room and change-room footage. Nothing beats straight guys in an all-male environment walking around fully naked together, talking about girls and sports, soaping up their cocks together, shaving, weighing themselves, dressing and undressing.

Each Angry Young Man DVD is different — some have long real-time segments where not a lot happens; others have fast edits between a bunch of different change rooms.

If you like watching guys piss, check out the Void Where Prohibited series. If you want to see a very bizarre and aggressive male bonding ritual, check out Heads Up Slick Decks where 16 drunken marines run around a pool naked whipping volleyballs at each other’s heads.
