William Higgins may not be able to take credit for having invented porn, but he certainly deserves a lot of credit for inventing quality porn. Like any director his work is sometimes hit or miss; A Wank in the Woods is a little bit of both, depending upon your perspective.
Paying a lot of attention to detail, Higgins first creates a short flick about a group of playful young men who (clad in what looks like Boy Scout uniforms - imagine!) gather together for…well, a wank in the woods. (The action is deliberately slow and methodic.) We witness the boys’ pack up the bus and board. This takes place in front of Drake’s Higgins’ nightclub situated in Prague. The audience is treated almost as an extra member on the trip - we watch the bus drive to the countryside, see the guys banter and sing on the bus ride.
Eventually they make it to the countryside where they put up a barbeque and begin drinking beer and cooking pork chops. The boys have even brought along an adorable puppy named Buddy who frolics and plays right along with the performers. Things take a while to heat up (like the pork chops, it would seem) but finally the guys perform a huge circle jerk. Again, it must be mentioned that the camera work and lighting are incredibly well done. Higgins takes you lovingly over almost every inch of the gorgeous guys’ bodies and faces, including a nice amount of feet shots. The circle jerk remains pretty much solo although one of the guys (Snake) lends a helping hand to a friend.
The guys are all great, each one almost more beautiful than the next. Also, there is a set of twins included in the mix to really whet your Czech appetite. The cocks, all uncut, vary in size and shape and captured with love. All of the cum shots are meticulously captured for posterity.
Later we see the guys play a game of volleyball in their skivvies and take a quick dip in the lake. Interspersed throughout are a bunch of hot scenes of the guys pissing out all of the beer they have drunk.
The entire “wank in the woods” sequence lasts a little more than half of an hour. It is followed by a documentary about its making that features Higgins speaking over a slide show of still shots taken during filming. People interested in the industry or behind the scenes shenanigans will dig this part. Guys looking to get their rocks off while looking at beautiful Czech boys may be disappointed.
Another segment is called “Picnic” and is a video of a still photo shoot starring four gorgeous Czech boys who eat a picnic lunch (with big dog Buddy who is a puppy no more!) and strip down to their undies (or “slippies” as Higgins proudly explains they are called in Europe). The picnic ends with the boys each blowing an adequate load. Again, strictly solo stuff here, although there is some erotic oiling of the guys. “Picnic” is followed by another documentary in which Higgins talks over still shots/slides of the video we’ve just seen. Nothing earth shattering is revealed, unfortunately.
The last segment of the video (managing to reach just about two hours) is a solo performed by the luscious mono-named Maxim – blonde and with a bronzed body that is the stuff wet dreams are made of (his guy is sweet with a capital S!). His legs and chest are lightly feathered with a golden down; he has a dreamy face and a mouth-watering uncut Eastern European prig…yum! Too bad he didn’t have company, say one of the cuties from the picnic!
If you are a lover of Eastern European boys, love to see guys acting natural in nature, or just want a behind the scenes scoop on a porn shoot, you will love, love, love A Wank in the Woods.
