Chris Waitt A History of my Sexual Failures

Now working as an editor for MTV, 33-year-old Chris Waitt is the poster boy of the first generation who grew up watching “musical television”: topsy-turvy hair and messy jeans, plus a clumsy way of living in his low-profile apartment, forms his cool-relax image. With this debut feature, Chris Waitt has gained attention from the media and audiences alike. A fresh breath of air was brought to the documentary genre.

His day job is definitely reflected in the documentary. The programmes the channel airs are composed of many reality shows and the sex-subject has been current since the station’s creation. By the way; Chris Waitt works on Fur TV, a comic show in which puppets get drunk and talk about…sex. He already has the background and the know-how he needs.

The film is all about relationships, but it’s also about Waitt’s own sexual instrument. Yes, his penis! At a certain moment, it’s the starting point of all his problems. His impotence is treated by many: a doctor, a therapist, an acupuncturist and a dominatrix, to name a few. The latter allows us to be present in a sadomasochistic dungeon, where Chris Waitt and his penis are being mistreated by Miss Maisie. A doubtful way to produce a hard-on, but completely delightful for fans of shows like Jackass.

Chris knows how to use ridicule to stir up attention and uses it without limits. The Viagra scene has great potential to become a classic. Like a shipwreck, he frantically runs around the city looking for someone to have sex with, fuelled by seven blue pills and lots of beer. Ok, let’s pretend that he didn’t know the consequences. One more Jackass point. The outcome of this creepy rampage is one night in prison, and the new must-have mug shot, not to mention an exchange of telephone numbers with a girl and a promise for a future meeting. In other words, he does what a lot of guys would like to do and, in the end, there is a possibility to really get laid. Has a new hero been born?

Despite this unique situation, the audience will identify itself with the characters, regardless of their gender. The background characteristics of any relationship are the same. So, someone might feel goose bumps while recognizing their own situation on the big screen. To name one: your sexual failures. And when you might think there is no hope, maybe you’d be happy to know that Chris Waitt’s romantic life is now doing very well, thanks for asking. During the shoot, he met a girl who now is living with him in London. And about his “problem”, he still is working on that.

After exposing his weakness on the big screen, Chris Waitt has gained the trust of the audience and experienced the taste of success. And he knows that it is good. One confirmation of this success was to have Michael Moore as a hotel neighbour in Cannes. However; if you think that this whole situation has inspired him to become a newer and younger Moore, don’t fool yourself. For his second feature he’s creating a fiction film. And the theme? You know it well; it will be inspired by his sex life.
