At first blush, sex and fighting may seem to go together about as well as orange juice and toothpaste. But humans are complicated and kinda messed up animals, so we often end up cultivating a whole bunch of strange sexual peccadilloes. Take one part power dynamic, two parts pain, mix in some pride and shame, and you’ve got something that looks a lot like Ultimate Fighting. You don’t even have to use your imagination. There’s a whole industry devoted to making pornography that lives on the kinky edges of combat sports. Vocativ takes a look at Ultimate Surrender, a porn site / league that traffics in “erotic wrestling”:
Records are kept on each performer detailing their height, weight, wins, losses and match-by-match stats, with an elaborate scoring system in place that incorporates both submission holds and sexual acts. A match usually yields 40 minutes of footage before the winner takes her reward in the form of sexual dominion over the loser. Not only are the matches protracted, they’re intense. The site notes, with pride, that some wrestlers have quit mid-match after finding the combat too physically demanding.
…
“Shame points” are what one competitor receives when she manages to grab her opponents’ breasts, undress, finger or lick her. Not to put too fine a point on it, the site adds, “these points tell the world you got turned into someone’s bitch.” The winner is encouraged to “humiliate” the loser while she dominates her sexually, mocking the loser’s poor performance and reveling in her own superiority.
There’s a man-on-man version run by parent site Kink.com as well called Naked Kombat, but Kink.com isn’t a pioneer in that like they are with Ultimate Surrender. Way back in 2002 — before the UFC even went mainstream — there was a site called MatBattle.com which was the go-to spot for gay grappling matches. While MatBattle may be gone, its spirit lives on in many other websites like Can-Am Gay Wrestling, which goes full singlet to simulate the complete amateur wrestling experience.
There’s been a number of co-ed MMA themed pornos too, obviously. It doesn’t involve guys fighting girls, fortunately — instead, sites like Bang The Champ featured a very real mixed martial arts fight with the winner getting to have sex with a pornstar. The Association of Boxing Commissions eventually shut those guys down, but it took longer than you’d expect for their investigation to yield fruit because the site was “inappropriate for access via a government-owned computer.”
Then there’s also the parody and fantasy videos — the most recent example being Burning Angel’s Ronda Rousey porn parody, Ronda ArouseMe: Ground And Pounded. But we’ve seen a bunch of stuff both straight and gay, with the most blatant being the Ultimate Gay Fighter series (not to be confused with the unrelated Street Fighter video game clone of the same name). Long story short: Rule 34 is for real. If something exists, there’s a pornographic equivalent out there somewhere. You just have to know where to look.
