Matt
and Khym is the fourth documentary-style adult film from independent
producers Comstock Films, and I'm pleased to say it's just as good
as its predecessors.
Comstock's ideal of presenting real people and real sex is relatively
unique in the adult industry and entirely welcome. His films aim
to present sex within the context of a relationship, and to show
the audience just how meaningful and beautiful good sex can be.
Like the previous movies, we meet two good-looking people who are
in love - Matt and Khym. This couple, now in their 30s, have been
together since their teens and have endured numerous life events
that meant they spent years caring for others. Now they've finally
got the house to themselves, and they can't keep their hands off
each other.
Matt and Khym are quite obviously in love. They finish each other's
sentences, kiss and touch while they talk. It's obvious that their
passion for each other hasn't dimmed over the years. When they talk
about how they have sex, and what turns them on, you can see that
they just can't wait to get into bed and act it all out.
I found myself nodding along, empathising with some of the things
they said. If you're in a long-term relationship, you may find echoes
of yourself in this couple. They're very ordinary in a lot of ways,
and that's reassuring. So much porn can leave the viewer feeling
inadequate, or unattractive. That won't happen here. Matt and Khym
could be the couple next door. In a way, they're a beacon for garden-variety
heterosexual sex, showing the world that sex in the suburbs can
still be pretty fabulous.
The sex scene itself gives us a "peek into their bedroom"
as Khym says. The pair pleasure each other with an ease and intimacy
born of long practice, but it's not in any way staid or routine.
There's real lust on display here, and the sex is certainly hot.
Khym comes several times, and Matt reaches his climax inside her.
You won't see any porn cliches in this sex scene. This couple don't
do anything extraordinary or outrageous, but that's a good thing.
What the viewer sees is an ordinary couple having joyous, happy
sex, revelling in each other and lost in the moment. They both seem
totally oblivious to the camera; there's no acknowledgement of the
audience. There's also no music to cover the sounds of their lovemaking.
The scene is entirely natural and very pleasant to watch.
The sex scene was shot on film and mastered in high definition.
Tony Comstock has said he prefers film to video because, despite
the cost, it just makes sex look better. I don't think I can argue
with him on this point. It does look very good indeed.
Porn very rarely deals with the idea of sex within the context
of a long term relationship and that makes Matt and Khym unique.
It offers an open and honest look at two people who are still hot
for each other, and whose sexual relationship has been enhanced
by time and hardship.
Watching this film is a positive, empowering erotic experience.
I'd go so far as to say it's a work of art, and one that deserves
an audience. I recommend it.
