We reviewers of gay porn can become jaded. I mean, we watch a lot of porn, good and bad, and it's easy to lose sight of the fact that we started doing this in the first place for one reason: we love, love, love gay porn (it sure ain't the pay, believe me). Then, every once in a while, something comes along that makes our collective jaws drop, like this one from Australia. And all the love comes rushing back, like waves on the beach. Make that Bondi Beach, in this case.
Not only is this production outstanding in all of its technical aspects, it also features a cast of handsome, hunky Aussies, and their sexual energy is off the charts. Maybe it shouldn't come as such a surprise. After all, Australia has also given us hunks like Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe to go all moony-eyed over. And Hugh and Russell have nothing on these men, believe me. Five separate sporting milieus, appropriately starting out with a weight room and ending up in a sauna. In each, unbelievably hot men have astonishing sex. It's non-stop action from the get-go, and every scene made my dick tingle.
In the first scene, "Great Spot!," Kyle Kirk and Brendan Austen are pumping up in a weight room when Kyle reaches his exhaustion point and can't get it up (the barbell, silly) again. Brendan leaps to his rescue, straddling his torso and placing the weights back on the rack. Kyle and Brendan start out by grinding their mouths together in a kiss, rubbing their five-o'-clock-shadows together so hard they almost make sparks. Since the guys are only wearing shorts, the clothes come off easily, and Kirk's silky smooth muscles are like catnip to Brendan's long and insistent tongue. Kirk immediately gets down on Brendan's dick, making the man moan with his oral ministrations. When the two hunks get down to fucking, Kirk's beautiful ass (no hair on it at all, which means no impediment to tonguing or fucking) looks great as Brendan thrusts inside it. All of this takes place on the same weight bench that Kirk was doing presses on. Then, just to keep things interesting, Kirk gets on top and plows Brendan from behind. Brendan bites into the padding of the bench as his ass is reamed, and Kirk's torso muscles stand out in relief as he shoves his dick into Brendan. Kirk pulls out and blows his load all over Brendan's lower back and Brendan loses it on the bench, squeezing the last few drops of cum from his foreskin.
Australian Rules Football on ESPN is always fun to watch, for the short-shorts on the players, even if you don't know what the hell is going on. So, of course, it is also a great setting for the next scene, "The Spectator," with OzDick and Billy Slate. OzDick will be familiar to Internet picture group fans -- his images have appeared on many a collector's page, due to his buff, built body and butch good looks. He cruises Billy on the field, and then follows him into the nearby toilets for a bit of fan worship. For OzDick, this means a chance to feast on Billy's huge cock, which rises to full erection quickly. The cool thing about this pairing is that OzDick is physically the larger of the two, but he plays total bottom to Billy's top, and does it well, deep-throating Billy's cock and then bending over and offering his ass to Billy, after Billy warms him up with a rim. The camera gets great shots of the fucking, both from above and from underneath, and even in the bathroom's mirror, with both of their faces contorted with pleasure. OzDick's ass, which is meaty and round, is the perfect receptacle for Billy's thick meat. Even when Billy isn't buried to the hilt, when his dick is just rubbing OzDick's furry asscrack, it's a gorgeous sight. Billy's cum-shot is huge -- it flies up OzDick's back and lands just above his asscheeks, leaving big pools of white stuff contrasting with OzDick's tan line. OzDick stands and shoots, splattering his load all over Billy's face and trimmed goatee, and then he bends over and plants another big, wet kiss on Billy.
In "River Cruising," a three-way, Brendan returns and he is lucky enough to be invited about a pleasure craft with Damon Bradley and Harrick Sharp. All of the guys are wearing those teeny-tiny bikinis that Australian lifeguards favor, and Brendan's is white -- and, yes, he does get it wet, making it see-through. Under the boat's canopy, the three hunks get friendly with some shared kisses, followed by nipple tweaks and some through-the-Lycra crotch-mouthing. Harrick, a dark, handsome, compactly-built man, gets to taste both of the other dicks, but buff, goateed Damon ends up being the true bottom, getting royally fucked by Brendan as he bends over the captain's wheel as Harrick watches, strokes his cock and kissing Brendan. From the look on Damon's face, and the way he pushes his ass back on Brendan's dick, he is in heaven. Damon gets in the middle for the cum-shots, with both of the hard cocks in his face as Brendan and Harrick shoot. Damon's pecs bounce as he jerks his cock as the cum from both flies all over his torso, then he rubs it into his skin.
In "Kickin' Butt," OzDick returns, this time paired with Brendan. The two are sparring in a gym, wearing boxing trunks and gear. When the gloves come off, OzDick is on his knees, sucking Brendan voraciously, and pounding Brendan's hard stomach muscles with his fist. Brendan gets on his knees, and tentatively gives OzDick some exploratory sucking action. Brendan fills up OzDick's hungry ass with his hard dick from behind, and OzDick then gives Brendan a tongue-fuck as Brendan is face down on the gym mat. OzDick rides Brendan's dick next, sitting on it and jerking his cock as Brendan watches. They switch positions often, first with OzDick up on all-fours as Brendan thrusts into his ass from behind, then missionary. The action is so intense, the heat so great between these two that sweat breaks out on their bodies as they fuck, and the cum-shots, both explosive and voluminous, are reflective of the passion they create together.
A hunky, defined, hairy torso in the shower, covered in soap, starts "Steam." When the camera pans down further, a long, thick cock is revealed. This body is Kurt Johnson, a hairy daddy who has the kind of V-shaped body, masculine good looks, and manly attitude that get my motor running. Kurt runs into Brendan in the hallway, as he's on his way to the steam room, and they share a long look that signals lust before moving on. Inside the sauna, hairy hunk Steel Farrell is waiting for Kurt, his dick already hard in anticipation. When Kurt enters and loses his towel, the two begin a scene of mutual sucking that makes the sauna temperature rise even higher. But when Brendan joins them, after locking up the gym, the heat intensifies even more. Kurt and Steel help Brendan out of his shorts, and Brendan goes down on Kurt's daddy dick as Steel licks Brendan's back and ass. Steel then fucks Brendan as Brendan continues to chew on Kurt's meat. Kurt then bends Steel over and fucks him as Brendan jerks his cock, and then they all shoot, with all the loads landing on Brendan's defined torso.
Obviously, directors Richard Capuano and Frank Gomez know what they're doing -- the staccato editing, with no filler or extraneous material, makes for one fine, to the point, production. This is one of the best I've seen in some time.
