Follow the sexual odyssey of Chicago single guy Scott Timpleton. A suburban kid with a big dick, he wonders aloud, "Isn't that what everyone wants?" Pointed writing takes him to various pick-up places to win his object of affection, the cruisy Cliff Alexander. But is Cliff what Scott really wants? Tune in to find out. Director Toby Ross has returned to his roots to crank out a video thant is as thoughtful as it is sexy. Even Steven is one of the best Chicago films to come out in years.
We meet our hero, Timpleton, as he cruises Lincoln Park. He is a "straight appearing" suburban kid on the make. He has a big crush on a guy named Cliff, who he sees around all of the time. For some reason, Cliff goes off with anyone (or everyone) but him. They have a brief "Hello" in this first locale, then Cliff blows Scott off - not in a good way - to find someone else.
Later, Cliff is seen cruising near downtown. What happened to the Hard Rock logo on his jacket? He picks up a moustached man in a business suit, Glenn Chambers. They relocate to the man's high-rise apartment near Sears Tower. Once there, we see that the fit older man is wearing a chain link harness and jock strap under his suit. Cliff eats his ass and hardening cock, then they take a shower together. As promised earlier, Chambers pumps Cliff's butt. There is nice chemistry and views, but cocks could demonstrate more solid arousal. They set up hard, mutual J/O cum shots.
Next, Timpleton cruises the Halsted strip, in search of Cliff. The footage made me homesick, but it is nice to see facades of Love Boutique, Little Jim's, Unicorn, Manhole, Lucky Horseshoe, Spin and even Roscoe's (though it's not mentioned in the script). Finally, he sees Cliff go into the Ram and follows him in. At a glory hole, Cliff gets a mouthful of Timpleton's big dick. Where did the goatee come from? Before completing the scene, Timpleton climaxes with an epiphany, not an orgasm: Maybe he should find someone who wants him and not just his dick. Hallelujah!
Back on the street, our narrator spies Robby Taylor, who has picked up a hunk for the night. Okay - one final cheap thrill. The camera follows them home, where beefy brunet Miles Andrews goes down on Taylor's big, ready boner. No hard-on problems here. We get hot views. Andrew is equally stiff on the oral return. The boyish Taylor looks good eating his beef. They do a rigid 69. Then Andrews pounds a fat fuck into Taylor. We get awesome butt-stuffing footage. Director Ross' camera is able to get shots that other directors can only dream of. Their mutual enjoyment of the sex is apparent, and the scene ends with two great orgasms - not cum shots.
Timpleton ends up at his home alone, dry-humping his bed. He grows a nice boner and pops a thick wad. Later, Timpleton finds a new cruising spot - the lake side parking scene. There he meets someone new, Eric Irons, a cute young man in a yellow biking cap. Ironically, now that Timpleton has met a potential new soul mate, Cliff comes sniffing around him. Poetic justice has Cliff left out in the cold, but I'll leave the details for you to discover.
The new couple ends up at home, with Timpleton and Irons swapping swelled sucking. Timpleton proves to be an intense oral artist and recipient as well. Irons munches his whole butt - not just the hole. The previous Taylor/ Andrews scene would be a hard act to follow in any video, but the sex in this final "big scene" gets problematic once the dildo comes out. Could it be a remedy for a lack of wood or chemistry? Who knows? Their hidden weenies give no clue as to whether the dildo play arouses them or not. The session ends with separate set-up pop shots.
Maybe it was just the first time jitters. Anyway, the romance gets back on track when they do the traditional "morning after" thing - breakfast at Nookies. A cute outtake of Taylor and Andrew waving goodbye signals. The End.
With a strong Chicago flavor, this video should be of special interest in the Midwest. However, the basic theme of a young gay man "coming of age" through the cruise scene is universal. Couples who watch it can relive the thrill of the hunt, and the reaffirming ending will make you glad you found that special someone. That's if you get past that sizzling Taylor/Andrews sex scene. As a final word, it should be an early nominee for Best Scene scene for next year's awards. For a great story with your sex, get Even Steven for satisfaction.
