The American military has been an organization in which many men have identified with a strong, masculine, exterior. In almost any ways, that role conflates the masculine persona with “doing,” “action,” “might,” and “performance.” Those qualities create an action-based perception of self-identity and leaves out the many softer expressions of the man as a whole.
Moreover, in porn, black men typically play stereotypical roles that don’t reflect the complexities of actual people having actual sex. During a phone conversation, Dillon said, “I like the idea of having sex on camera the way I do in true life. The sex I enjoy is greater amount romantic, greater amount erotic.” And that video becomes an fortune to show this – in contrast with both the military backdrop and the expectations of viewers.
In sex, men often elevate a subsequent and dramatic activity of socialized “power” masculinity rather than a true expression of their authentic eroticism. Eroticism comes from within. It is born from an intrinsic sense of self, one’s own emotional landscape, boundaries, and the determination to ask for what one desires. Honorable Discharge eroticizes and glorifies nurturance as preeminent in our proposed model of power.
