Within the gay community, the phrase "bear" causes general disagreement. Some view a bear as a masculine and somewhat hairy man. Some purists, though, think a bear is a flannel-wearing, fur-covered virile specimen. There should be no in-fighting about the creatures in "Xtreme Fur Fest," though. The five-man cast is a round-up of certifiable grizzlies and cubs.
As "Xtreme Fur Fest" opens, Chris Hatch is at his computer writing a scene. He pulls up downloaded photos to help enact his fantasy, set in a log cabin by a fireplace. One by one, his models -- J.D. Adams, A.J., Steven Michaels and Don James -- appear solo, playing with their naked bodies, rubbing their chests, teasing their butts. Michaels appears so horny, he even mounts a sofa and grinds downward!
As Hatch continues penning his scenario, he lets himself enter the picture, appearing naked before bear daddy J.D. Adams and paying homage to his woofy body. They share a long and arousing man-kiss, before Chris preys on J.D.'s cock and slithers his tongue up his butt. Chris's fellatio abilities are extraordinary -- egged on by J.D.'s hand on his head, Chris bobs up and down for dear life.
Steven Michaels joins the men, and helps orally assault prone J.D. Adams. They go at it awhile, before Don James walks in just ahead of A.J. It becomes a virtual free-for-all, with the five hirsute males feasting on each other's nipples, cocks and hairy asses. The room is a virtual carpet with all the hair between this quintet. After some time, the five men all sort of huddle together in a big group and just let their imaginations (and tongues) wander all over each other. Michaels, he with the deep-throat and stocky bear build, moves to his hands and knees, arches his back, and waits for a tongue -- anyone's -- to wet his hole.
Soon, though, fingers find their way up butts, and entrances get lubed and primed for penetration. Grabbing Steven Michael's erection in his mouth like a lion protecting its young, Chris Hatch offers up his butt to the rest of the room. A.J. is first in line, and director Tony Allen captures the fucking in extreme close-up, with A.J.'s sweaty ass in fast-forward motion. It's a noisy scene, with the balls banging against Hatch's backside very audibly. Next, J.D. grabs Steven's hips and gets him another ride, while the others are behind him stroking his body and egging him own.
A black dildo somehow finds its way in the room and is eased up the chute of Don James, who takes it hesitantly at first then relishes the intrusion. When his butt has been properly stretched, he has a seat on J.D.'s dick. The scene is lovely, with Don squatting on his knees, taking a sitting poke from his partner. Their furred torsos somewhat meld together as Don does most of the action, rocking back and forth.
Closing out the video, Steven Michaels lets the versatile Don plow into his own ass, before the performers reach inevitable climaxes.
Back at his terminal, Chris Hatch has been furiously beating off and blows a load at the fantasy he has envisioned.
If the DVD has a problem, it's that it's often hard to distinguish the men. With the shadowy fireplace setting and the five models looking alike, it's hard to tell them apart at times. Nonetheless, "Xtreme Fur Fest" is a triumph, a pretty simple-minded video with an "unbearably" high pay-off.
Extra DVD features include chapter selection, previews of other videos, a slide-show, and an interview with J.D. Adams.
