Mass – Jack Valor, Ray Dexter, Troye Jacobs
The Mass is an ancient Christian rite of worship in memory of the Last Supper. It is a ritual meal during which the body and blood of Christ are offered to the congregation in the form of bread and wine. But the Mass has even more ancient, pagan roots, in which gods or figures of divine worship were ritually “consumed” by their followers, sometimes in the form of animal sacrifices. In our video, the object of worship is the body of a beautiful young man on the altar of Eros. Note that Troye, the object of worship, is very detailed about what he wants, about what he desires. He asks for what he wants throughout the ritual. Based on his wishes, he asks for touch on the parts of his body where he wants attention, and on the parts of his body where he requires worship by his assistant priests, Ray and Jack. In a more real than symbolic way, they ‘eat’ it! But they only respond to his wishes and give him what he wants. In the end, they devour him, his sperm, his flesh, in a ritual that symbolizes complete union with him. Our sex can be an act of adoration, of ritual consumption by the lover, who honestly shares his desires with us as we seek to fulfill those desires in our own intimate ways.
