Canada has one of the most interesting and peripatetic porn industries in the world. And in the gay portion, it has come to be dominated on the Web, at least, by a bunch of sites that rotate an ensemble of sexy and cock-hungry guys in what are supposed to be first-time situations. Most, if not all, of the performers in "Northern Exposure" are either regulars or have been "guests" on these sites. Now, we have a movie loosely built around a reasonable premise to showcase their talents.
The flick ostensibly is meant as a telephone, transcontinental "meet and greet" between Shane Michaels and Iggy Steele, a Vancouver couple, and Jonathan Beaulieu who lives in Montreal with his lover Jean-Francois Laroche. Shane and Iggy are introduced in the prologue, walking through the parks and forests of Vancouver, making love in wet briefs under a waterfall. Note, they are an exceptionally attractive couple, late-20s or so, dark hair, beautiful eyes, nice bodies. Shane is very "black Irish" and Iggy is the quintessential farmer boy with a dark round face similar, but not quite like, an early Marlon Brando. They are the last scene in the flick and they steal the show from the moment they open the movie with their lovemaking.
But first they call Jonathan, a slim, angular French-Canadian with a heavy accent and a light goatee. He tells them he and his lover recently met another couple that liked to trade partners, and we are introduced to Jonathan in bed full bore with Ricardo Diaz, a sensuous Latino hunk with a shock of black hair, and a huge basket which Jonathan devours -- first, through his briefs, sucking his balls and then into the briefs, which contain a monstrous cock filled with cum ready to be sprung. This is the least satisfying scene in the flick but it's still hot. Jonathan worships Ricardo's dick in numerous ways and positions, gives him a bit of a rimjob and then offers his creamy butt for some licking. Ricardo performs adequately and then produces a string of the biggest red "rosary beads" you've ever seen, and proceeds to send one or two up Jonathan's hole before fucking him with his own pole and creaming on the side of Jonathan's face.
The next scene features Jonathan's lover, which is either the post-preppy Andrew Lemieux, a tall, cross-country built hottie, or Jean-Francis Laroche, who a darkly handsome French-Canadian with luscious pouty lips. This scene is a splendid example of what I like to call "painful lovemaking," in which each man is such a good cocksucker, and so entranced by the other's monstrous cock, that their expressions of joy at either being sucked or trying to suck approach near painful proportions. They have a luscious 69 session on the couch before Andrew eats Jean-Francis' balls and ass before doggy-fucking him on the couch. They break off for some more arm-in-arm kissing as Jonathan and Ricardo enter the room behind them, fall to their knees, and start to suck, Jonathan on Andrew and Ricardo on Jean-Louis. Soon the latter two switch positions and it isn't long before Jean-Louis mounts Ricardo with Jonathan riding Andrew alongside. The four complete the scene doggy and cum as couples.
Jonathan tells Shane and Iggy about a couple of college students he heard about -- the luscious Latino Enrique Lopez and the tall angular Allan Dubois (the cover boy). They are making love in a club chair, kissing deeply, playing with crotches, slipping off shirts, pulling out cocks. Allen is first to dive here, plunging into Enrique's massively hairy crotch, fishing out his balls and perfect porky pecker that are nestled between very hairy thighs. They say sweet things in Spanish until it's Enrique's turn to sample Allan's equally fabulous fuck tool. This is an especially well-matched couple, same basic body types, dark against light, consumed with each other. Enrique bends his lover over against the wall and stuffs his butt with his dark honker and pounds away until Allen spills a load while being fucked. Enrique then spills a major load all over Allen's face and rubs it into his goatee as they kiss themselves away.
Shane rings off with Jonathan with a sort of au revoir, and turns to his boyfriend Iggy, whose incredibly fat hardon is already showing through his pants. They kiss as Shane opens Iggy's button-fly and eats his cock through his briefs. Enhanced by guitar music in the background, these two proceed to a heated love scene on a couch, something I am not a fan of, but in this case, it works beautifully. They strip to their briefs and make love to each other with sweet dirty-talk, eat each other's cocks through and around their briefs, eventually throwing them off and consuming each other in a frenzy of lust in a variety of positions that would seem to be uncomfortable but are obviously just right for the action at hand. They eat each other's asses, suck their holes and Shane works a double-headed dildo up Iggy's butt before they both mount it, butt-to-butt for a mutual fuck. Shane then takes his boyfriend doggy on his knees before spilling his load all over Iggy's back. They then kiss next to each other on the couch as Iggy cums all over himself. I don't think they'll be going to Montreal.
"Northern Exposures" is a neat flick full of guys who love to fuck each other. Let's hope more of these avalanches of sex comes down from our neighbors to the North.
