it is prominent and there’s a reason. The internet was never a prerequisite for communication. We had real encounters… a group of friends gathered for dinner, live and lively conversations where people’s facial expressions could be seen, fair and courteous treatment was the norm, and snap judgments were non-existent. No hiding behind screen names or walking around with your dick out.
The 8mm movie projector and screen were set up, and we watched and commented as a group in real time. Straight and gay porn alike. I produced a few films along the way. Performers who could fire multiple volleys of thick voluminous come were those most highly rewarded and famous, from which came the term “money shot”. Without a nice visible load in a prominent place, good luck selling the film. Peter North/Matt Ramsey was among the most noted. Shot inside, he would not be differentiated in his straight and gay roles from others, and would not have earned more than just any big dick off the street.
As with all of history, scenes must be viewed in the context of the time and not by today’s standards. Porn stars were literally stars, fewer chose the profession, and every scene of every film was discussed and known widely. Funny you say it’s stupid to pull put and come on a face. My boyfriend for one prefers that. Many do. Social media has silenced people’s perspective. One now sees only their own due to isolation.
