The best thing about "Straight Up Dudes" is that some of the guys are so immaculately pretty, that they should be on calendars. Unfortunately, not much of what they do is particularly three-dimensional in the movie, which has four pairings of warm outdoor vanilla sex. The title may refer to the purported sexuality of some of the characters, or the fact that the movie is very simple, a theme it never tries to break.
To the sounds of lapping pool water and gentle porn music, the ravishing Hayden Stephens shows up to interview for a job with the movie's director, but when he's told by assistant C.J. Montes, "you gotta suck dick," Hayden is aghast, protesting that he's straight. But, he doesn't mind if roly-poly C.J. sucks him. "I might as well enjoy it," this sublime piece of hunkiness chirps as C.J. tries his best to noisily deep-throat him. The pairing of glossy Hayden with average-guy C.J., I hate to say, shows signs of awkwardness, but C.J. is a hard worker and he's obviously delighted getting to play with Hayden's grand mammoth cock, so there moments of fun to be had. And for someone who doesn't suck dick, Hayden certainly seems to know how to do it when he goes down on C.J. He even makes a nice trip down to C.J.'s balls. Hayden declines having his ass fingered, but he offers to do it to C.J., who amiably submits to Hayden's rather tender finger-fuck. That's soon enough abandoned in favor of real fucking. Hayden looks delicious thrusting away at C.J., whose welcoming ass makes his job easier. This part of the scene is a definite improvement, with C.J. helping to ride backward and Hayden's dirty-talk better placed. Close-up shots from underneath show that Hayden really is buried deep inside C.J. The chemistry between them isn't much, but the action itself is totally watchable, most so when Hayden is actively topping than when C.J. rides. Hayden has a gloppy load to leave on C.J.'s chest and then C.J. beats off rather uniquely. C.J. then informs Hayden that he is leaving his job and Hayden is his replacement.
Another new guy, and another absolute stunner of brunet perfection, Gianni Luca, arrives at the director's house, met by Shane Celtic, a very thin guy with spikey graying hair. "I break in all the new talent around here," lecherous Shane says to willing muscle boy Gianni as he gropes at his chest. Of course, Gianni showed up shirtless, so one has to assume he expected to be pawed that day. Gianni looks mouthwatering in just tight undies, and equally good out of them. He's soon on his knees blowing Shane's tasty thick cock with a peppy mouth and ardent desire. He easily manages a deep-throat. Shane drops to return the favor on Gianni, who face-fucks Shane with sexy hips. Gianni has a nice normal-sized dick, which Shane doesn't seem particularly eager to play with. Gianni has a lot of ideal body parts, but his fleshy rump is my favorite. He soon has it poked out in Shane's direction to get toyed with by Shane's fingers. Gianni keeps the energy going by actually squirming around on Shane's digits. With a glop of spit to lead the way, Shane slams his cock into Gianni, who heaves breathlessly with every blast. Shane is definitely more on his game here, plowing Gianni's beautiful butt lustily while Gianni keeps up his air of adoration. Gianni rides Shane fairly comfortably and then pulls off when it's time for the guys to shoot. A super-smiley Gianni is still excited to work for T.J. Paris.
Inked goateed Ryan Starr is splish-splashing in the pool, eyed greedily but Jay Cruz, a beefy guy with earrings. Ryan, nursing a huge boner in his tight swimsuit, goes over to Jay matter-of-factly and offers to have sex with him. Sensual big-lipped Jay is just fine with that and they start kissing. Jay definitely wants that cock fighting to get out, so he releases it into his mouth and sucks it with loving care. Ryan is the more excitable sucker, though Jay seems to have trouble getting hard for him. Jay fucks Ryan, the top's bubble-butt and thick thighs looking fucking amazing from behind, but the fuck is actually never shown close up and at times it's pretty obvious nothing is actually going on. They go to the pool where Ryan bends Jay over to fuck him. This time we see dick in ass, and it's a fine fit, with both guys snorting appropriately. Their best part of the scene comes when Jay rides Ryan. Not only is it the best angle for the cameras, but they really seem to enjoy this position more than the others. Jay rides both backwards and forwards. Jay plays cum canvass for a bountiful blast from Ryan.
The king of this movie's hunkiness, Hayden Stephens, is naked by the pool, on the phone, when Mark Galfione comes to audition. Hayden wants a blowjob, but cute tight Mark is straight and not willing, bringing us full circle with a wink. Hayden insists, so Mark has to agree. With his sunglasses perched in his wavy hair, he buries his head in Hayden's crotch and goes a-suckin'. Again we have wood issues, but Mark works feverishly and smartly tickles Hayden's balls until overcoming that issue and having the full length of the impressive shaft to gobble. He doesn't waste the opportunity, throwing his whole face into a spiffy sucking. Mark stands up so Hayden can blow him, and though Hayden has said he wasn't into this, he's proving for the second time how aggressive he can be with dick in his mouth. The guys go back and forth and turn in some of the movie's best blowing. The grotto by the pool is a lovely backdrop for this scene, still going well when Hayden crams two fingers into Mark's butt, slapping the cheeks with his other hand. Mark says he's ready for cock, so Hayden carefully places it into his ass and then tears off for a zesty topping session. He seems more excited for Mark, and his fucking reflects this: he's fun and perky, with a devilish look in his eye that translates into solid action. There is even missionary fucking here, forcing these two to look at each other more than any other pair has had to do. They recline with their backs to each other to cum, Hayden looking so damn fetching with his six-pack blazing in the sunlight. He cums first and then waits while Mark finishes.
