You can almost smell the sweaty jockstraps and damp Speedos. "SexGaymes: Up the Stakes," an Australian-made production, features some of the hottest men I've ever seen getting down and dirty with each other on camera. As a bonus, American porn star Lance Gear makes a guest appearance. He's paired with ultra-hot Aussie Brendan Austen in a flip-flop that is so scorching that it practically redefines how a flip-flop fuck should be done onscreen. Each of the scenes are defined by a different activity: Aussie football, boxing, weightlifting, and two that feature water sports (of the athletic variety). The first of these, titled "Men of the Match," features four men paired up to work off some after-the-match testosterone. The first couple, Billy Slate and Spike, find a private spot and get immediately to business, with kisses punctuating the slow stripping of their football gear. The second couple, Steve Davidson and Trevor Gamble, head to the showers, and in no time they're sucking face, too. The background noise consists of sounds from the football field and the rush of water from the shower, perfect for the sex that takes place. Billy and Spike suck each other gleefully as the screen flips back and forth between the same action between Steve and Trevor. Steve is an absolute Adonis -- his handsome face, long dark hair, muscled torso and macho energy ignite the scene. As for Trevor, he is every bit as luscious and muscular, and the two are fabulous to watch as they ravish each other. Billy and Spike's scene moves on to some juicy rimming, with Spike's hairless, puckered asshole getting a loving laving from Billy's tongue. This action is mirrored in the scene with Steve and Trevor, as Trevor tongue-fucks Steve's inviting asshole (it even has a beauty mark!). Just before Billy pierces Spike with his thick cock, the camera gets a close-up of Billy's hole, which is quivering with anticipation. Nevertheless, even that shot, with all of its glory, doesn't compare to the one that catches Spike's pre-cum pooling on his flat belly, drizzling out of his dick as Billy thrusts into his ass. The Trevor-Steve scene ends abruptly: Trevor gets pissed off because Steve keeps fondling his ass as Steve is sucking him, and the two get into a slap-fight that ends in a shower stall. Spike and Billy keep on going, reaching not one, but two big orgasms each in a scene that also includes a flip-flop fuck. The next scene, "Up the Stakes," stars Lance and Brendan. Lance brings his own brand of inimitable sexual energy, and Brendan keeps up with Lance admirably. The scene starts with the two men sparring in boxing gear, but that soon turns into a naked match that ends up with Lance forcing his cock into Brendan's mouth. The action takes place "on the mat," as it were, with Lance and Brendan thoroughly and energetically exploring each other's bodies with their hands, tongues and dicks. Lance seems to love deep-throating Brendan's uncut meat, and when he reams Brendan's ass with his tongue, the camera puts Brendan's pucker front and center. It's difficult to say whether it's more fun watching Lance fuck Brendan or the other way around. Lance fucks Brendan doggy, to the tune of Brendan's moans and groans, and Lance takes it from Brendan missionary, with his trademark laughs and "Yeahs!" punctuating Brendan's every thrust. When Brendan blows his load, it is onto Lance's waiting tongue and open mouth -- and the cum just coats Lance's tongue. Meanwhile, Lance has been jerking his own rock-hard dick, and his cum explodes all over the place, spraying down everything in the vicinity (even one of the cameras, as it turns out -- watch the DVD extras). In "Workin' Out," two hot guys take a break from pumping iron to release some sexual tension. Buff Harrick Sharp and handsome model-type Aarron Richards get things started with some nipple-play (Harrick's nips are protuberant and meaty, perfect for play), and then Aarron gives Harrick's uncut dick a long, deep sucking. After a little tongue warm-up, Aarron fucks Harrick missionary on a weight bench, then flips him over and slides in from behind. Aarron shoots a huge load all over Harrick's defined torso, then, again, pinching Harrick's nipples, Aarron watches as Harrick blasts, leaving his torso dripping with both loads. Brendan enters a locker room, wearing a dripping-wet Speedo in "Speedos and Goggles." Hottie Scott Ford and Spike enter, and after a little horseplay with the wet bikinis, Brendan feeds Scott his uncut pole as Spike waits his turn in Scott's mouth. Big man Brendan surprisingly plays the bottom role, giving up his ass to Spike as he sucks Scott. These guys show off their versatility once again when Brendan leans Spike against the wall and fucks him, but Brendan still isn't satisfied, he also samples Scott's furry asshole. Then Spike also gets into the act, slamming his thick meat into Scott, hard, as Brendan watches and furiously jerks his dick. Brendan is the first to cum, reaching a wrenching orgasm that lands in Scott's clipped chest hair. The other two follow suit, and the scene ends with all three under the showerhead, helping Scott wash off their loads. In the finale, "Surf-Ski Sex," two muscular canoeists (hunky Kyle Kirk and gorgeous Damon Bradley) find a shallow inlet to lay anchor ... and each other. Since they are only wearing tiny bikinis, it isn't too long before they are totally naked in the water, kissing and sucking each other's dicks. Each of these guys is sexy in his own way. Kyle has a very well built physique and a square-jawed masculinity, while Damon has a more natural, buff body and a gorgeous, almost-pretty face. But the one the thing they have in common is that they each have beautiful and fuckable asses. One of the best camera shots in this entire production is of Kyle's ass as he's sucking Damon, rising up just enough out of the shallow water to create a wondrous view of his glutes and hairless asshole, winking in the sun. Damon pinches his erect nipples as Kyle sucks him, and then Damon fucks Kyle from behind, the water sloshing around them as the move about. Damon pulls out and shoots all over Kyle's lower back, and then he embraces Kyle from behind as Kyle cums. Great camerawork and excellent performances make this scene the perfect way to end. DVD features: Dolby sound; the full-length feature; chapter selections; behind-the-scenes footage (from "Up the Stakes" and "Surf-Ski Sex"); trailers; and no regional coding (playable worldwide).
