While watching SNL last night a name
was mentioned that I'd never thoughts of when I was doing my Cool Shit Black People Invented the last few years. Who was the first
Black porn star? Who is this man that risked so much so that years later we could watch men that looked more like ourselves having sex on camera while wearing sunglasses, white socks, and baseball caps?
Well, turns out his name was Johnny Keyes and he was
slinging mad Black dick. He was in the Swedish Erotica series of
films but is best known for Behind The Green Door where he fucked
actress Marilyn Chambers for 47 minutes on film until she actually
fainted. Everyone thought that she was acting but she wasn't. This man dicked her into another state of consciousness.
Born in 1940, Keyes was an amateur boxing lightweight
champion in the U.S Army. He has a degree in theater arts and has
taught theater as well. He performed in Hair and The Wiz for live
performances. He currently plays jazz in Seattle and a few years back
was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame.
Now, I know there are a lot more
important things that Black people have done or invented. I've
written about a lot of them. But could you even begin to imagine how
hard it was to be the first well known Black guy to fuck on film? He
wasn't that far away from Black folks not being able to drink at the
same fountains or eat in the same restaurants as Whites and there he
was fucking White women on film...for 47 minutes!
I can count how
many times I've done that on both hands and each time I was drunk as
hell or the chick made the mistake of going down on me with something
minty in her mouth. Natures numbing agent! This guy did it on film. I
can't fuck if an animal is in the room let alone a crew. They were
probably like “Is he gonna be done anytime soon?” Nope. He was
fucking for every Black man that couldn't have sex with White
woman...publicly. Keyes is a true American hero!
