Question about the Logistics of Filming Porn in Public

[Rustyoznail]

I'm aware of that, which I now realize makes my question look very naive in retrospect, but it's the renting of a public bus (or train carriage in the Japanese case) that feels bizarre. Presumbly those are owned by some local government authority, and I can't help but wonder why they'd even agree to such an arrangement.

Late to the discussion, but in Melbourne bus services are contracted to private companies. You can charter a bus (eg - https://cdcvictoria.com.au/services/charter/), but it comes with a driver. Not an insurmountable problem. The terms and conditions don't prohibit filming or having sex. You can't smoke or drink alcohol though.

Doesn't apply to the OP because it mentions another country, but there's an additional layer of red tape that prevents renting an in-service public transit bus in the U.S.

Charter bus companies are protected from unfair competition by FTA funded entities. If the public transit company gets FTA funds, they cannot legally rent a bus out to anyone in most circumstances.

There was a news story a few years ago here in the UK where a company hired a rural railway train (one of those that has a few miles of it's own tracks and runs days out for kids and families). Turns out the company was Brazzers, and they were filming a porn flick on it. Of course there was an outcry amongst the locals, but the train company said it was a legitimate way to earn money.

Ha! Probably the best publicity the Epping-Ongar railway could have had. Insert your own Essex jokes here.

You're not wrong there.

I've been told for years that trains going into tunnels are inherently sexual.

Only if they come... out again.

I was thinking of another board-gaming story for Geek Pride, this time based on Ticket to Ride and lots of innuendo about hard tunnelling...

That depends: does the train run straight through and emerge from the other side? Or does it enter the tunnel almost all the way before reversing out and then moving back in again over and over at an accelerating rate before dramatically expelling a great quantity of engine fluid into the tunnel and shutting down due to running out of steam?

Now there's a girl who knows her tank engine from her mainline engine. Step aside, Ringo Starr!

No, I'm not asking for practical advice, or else you'd be reading this in Fetish & Sexuality Central, but this question has been dogging me and I really need to get it off my back.

The other day, I was casually browsing porn clips (as one does) when I came across a BlackedRaw video that opens with two redheads on a bus in Budapest. When the male talent gets on and sits at the back, the two redheads get up and sit on either side of him. They flirt with him, make out with him, and then unzip his pants and go down on him to the bemusement of the other five or six commuters. Then the trio disembark and the rest of the scene takes place in a hotel room.

Now, it seems unlikely that the production crew just boarded a random bus in order to film the authentic reactions of the locals watching a sex act unfold in public, not least because Hungary must have laws against public indecency. But if we exclude that possibility, did they seriously rent out a public bus and hire a bunch of locals to act as extras? I know that's the most likely explanation, but it still feels like an incredibly bizarre thing to do, even if it is for porn.

It reminds me of that creepy subgenre of Japanese porn in which the female talent dressed as an office lady or (even creepier) a high school girl is molested and then violated aboard a crowded bus or train while everyone else acts like nothing's happening. Did the production company really rent out a public bus or train carriage for the day and hire twenty or thirty extras to just stand there and pretend to be regular commuters?

Actually, that would make a good story premise: a cameraperson or director at a porn production company whose day job is filming and editing all these different adult scenes while secretly yearning to be the male (or female) talent on screen.

Clarification: I'm aware that porn isn't real, so maybe this is a very naive question to pose at all, but it's the renting out of a public bus or train (presumably owned by a local government authority) that's so weird to me. That they allowed it is obvious from the existence of the scene, but why?

This may not be straight to the point. It might involve practical advice, and it's not exactly porn, but somewhere Alan Cummings wrote about the production of Dancing after Dark, probably in the book itself, and it was very entertaining. So I jumped at the chance to mention it somewhere.

Alan Cumming, no 's'. His books are all worth reading (whether or not you've seen his Who Do You Think You Are? episode which makes up a lot of Not My Father's Son).

How do you avoid the lewd and lascivious conduct charges?

Thanks for the 's' comment. Searching for Cummings on Google brought him up. Sigh...
