Brady discovers an old bottle of energy supplements while readying Wet Palms for Randall's arrival - but that isn't all that has him on edge. JP and Simon plot to reclaim their ancestral home - but at what price? Meanwhile, Lucky's perfect ass helps him makes leaps and bounds in the Bubble corporation - as a box cover model. Peter Dune questions Tucker's fidelity.
ROB ROMONI in his continuing model search, reunites with mega-hung CAMERON FOX. Rob remembers Cameron’s ass fondly and caresses it through his pants, then gets him to drop them. Rob kisses Cameron’s ass and goes down on his super-sized dick. It looks as though he wants a piece of Cameron’s ass, but Cameron is equally hot for Rob’s. Eventually, he wins out and shoves it in for a seriously hot fucking.
BRAD BENTON is in bed with his lover JASON RIDGE for a long and intense scene. Jason gives Brad a great blow job and then rims him to ecstasy. Brad pops up to rim Jason, tongue fucking him and devouring his ass, before ass fucking him. When Jason says, “You’re makin’ me high”, Brad remembers Jason’s drugging and gets angry at him, pounding him all the harder. Jason cries out, “What’s with you, man?” In anger, Jason fucks Brad, getting back at him for his giving in to Michael Soldier. Brad cums and finally Jason shoots.
Before the credits, Jason Ridge is passed out, dreaming of what he might or might not have seen the previous night. Are the secrets of Wet Palms about to be exposed?
Brad is sleeping with Jason when Jason wakes up from this dream. Brad's boss, Michael Soldier, calls, reminding Brad of their brutal sex occurrence the night before, but luckily Jason doesn't remember seeing it. Brad tells Jason the partial truth about the evening: that not-doing-so-well-recovering-addict Jason went out for fun and came back home with his "nose powdered like a donut."
Wet Palms Inn manager Bret Wolfe has arranged a flight back to L.A. from the continent for the now-seen mysterious Randall Jett, played already with gleeful gusto by Gus Mattox. He's on his way home, "as soon as I finish packing," he says, referring instead to the man sucking his cock. Delectable Jason Adonis, checking into Wet Palms, calls Brad to drop hints about the infamous and powerful Jett family. But, Jason's tip is convoluted, so reporter Brad will have to do some digging. It's Jason's business to "unearth cover-ups," which means he must be at Wet Palms for a reason!
Elsewhere in the plot, Gabriel Knight, taking a break from searching for clues about his past, is doing his first photoshoot for Rob Romoni's Bubble Underwear. Hottie Gabriel, so sinfully luscious as he gyrates his body to show off the tight undies, is a perfect choice to model underwear. His longish hair and tattoo give him the air of a rebel, but the baby face seems more innocent. His body is pure sexual fantasy as he aces the music video editing of the shoot. Photographer Jack Shamama is a bit upset that Gabriel is not "showing" well enough through the underwear and demands he get a hardon.
Rob has his own problems. Whiny model Cameron Fox is afraid that Gabriel will take his promised "box" (that the underwear comes in, people!). Rob has trouble remembering that promise, looking at "hundreds of asses a day" as he does. Rob suggests a refresher course, and once Cameron drops his pants, it all comes back to Rob. To make sure, he bites the ass a little and then undresses. They grab at each other's hardening cocks and Rob bends over to suck Cameron's giant one. Rob does fine work as Cameron the ass model turns the tables on Rob and starts to finger his ass! Rob is insanely focused on Cameron's dick, sucking it with a twisting head. Cameron has trouble keeping his hands off Rob's muscular butt, but his patience pays off when he fucks the company president. Now Cameron gets to take over the scene, whomping Rob with eager style, plowing the full length of his considerable cock into Rob's butt. "So do I get to get that box cover after all?" is all Cameron has to ask after that hot session.
Rob returns to the set just in time to see Jack trying to get Gabriel hard. Rob tosses him out and gives Gabriel $500 for the trouble. Gabriel leaves and Rob immediately calls the photographer back. "Tell me you got some clear shots of his cock ... I knew I could depend on you." Nothing is ever what it seems in Soapland.
At Michael Soldier's tabloid, Rod Barry is trying to get the story of Jason Ridge and Ethan Marc's sexual exploits killed, but a snarling Michael refuses. But only for a moment. His brother, Zak Spears, at his imperious best, calls and insists it be quashed. Michael is furious, but Zak tells him that "Sebastian" is still alive. This mysterious "Sebastian" is supposed to be dead, but a body was never found. Could "Sebastian" be Gabriel Knight? There's a sure way to tell and the test shoot he's just done is it. Zak's source for believing Gabriel is "Sebastian" is gossipy Jason Sechrest, who suggests that perhaps Gabriel has amnesia and doesn't know he's Jett family member "Sebastian."
Brad returns home to Jason Ridge, looking his absolute hottest naked and twisting under the sheets. He and Brad have the start of an argument, because Jason wonders if Brad is hiding something. "Are you too hung over to make love?" Brad says, as a way to cover up and of course get some booty. In this match-up of colossal talents, Brad doesn't even undress before starting to suck Jason's dick. He does a typically facile whiz-bang job of it, causing Jason to moan heatedly. His spit-filled deep-throat of Jason's cock is the sexual highlight of this episode. Jason returns the fertile chemistry-laden blowjob on a thankful Brad. In full character, though Jason is trying to enjoy sex with his mouthwatering boyfriend, he can't help but sneak a whole lot of looks in the mirror at himself. Jason swallows Brad's balls on his way down to lightly delivering a tickling rimjob that has Brad squirming in delight. Brad's ass-munch is more of a hearty tongue-fuck. It's a nice prep for the fuck Brad gives Jason immediately following. Brad fucks Jason with authority, spending a lot of time staring down at his handsome boyfriend as he thrusts at him. Midway into the fuck, some flashback editing causes the music to go thrumping and Brad to turn the fuck into a power blast. Jason announces he wants to fuck Brad and gets to do it. Brad acts the heck out of his lusty bottoming as Jason gives a pulsing pound, the two kissing hotly throughout. The flashbacks return and suddenly Jason sprints off with a much harsher fuck that leads to their cum-shots. It took four episodes to get to this much-anticipated boyfriend sexual match-up and the wait is well worth it. It's one of the finest scenes in the Wet Palms series so far.
Jason Adonis calls Rod Barry to tell him he has a copy of a porn video Rod had done, excellent blackmail material. Rod says he doesn't care ("it was only a solo video"), but Jason reminds him his fiancé's blue-blood family won't approve. That hooks Rod. Jason then spits out his disgust for Rod's boss Michael Soldier, but Rod isn't impressed. After all, Michael has "more enemies than Michael Jackson at a PTA meeting." Jason tells Rod to get him a copy of Michael's medical record and signs off with a big-time threat directed at Michael.
Who will bring down the wretched Michael, responsible for so much misery at Wet Palms?

I live without cable or a TV antenna, so besides the quite frequent DVD or old VHS tape, I have, basically, a television broadcast of static. This makes soap viewing -- well, impossible. So, I catch a quick peek at the gym -- Evangeline (You go, Renee Elise Goldsberry!) on OLTL is my new favorite, brush through my Soap Opera Digest, weekly and every once in a while, I have a field day with the occasional box set -- I ground through the entire first season of One Tree Hill like pepper recently in less than a week. So, it is with joy that I greeted these latest episodes of Wet Palms. In the wake of Desperate Housewives, I'm assuming the show has gotten even more zanily campy, and while I prefer my suds with more of a straight face, finding soaps crazy enough in their own right without having to take it over the top, I still adored this sexy, cock ridden, monumentally dramatic porn event.
This second volume in the series, which contains three episodes per box set, picks up the day after the previous box's episode three with model Peter Dune, drug hazy but semiaware that his boyfriend, Tucker Bang, might have been up to something with his evil boss, Simon Jett. (Indeed he had, for those of you unaware -- Jett had blackmailed Bang into sex.) Possible Jett heir Lucky Hanson is shown being introduced to the world of modeling by oversexed Bubble underwear executive Chase Walker. (The aforementioned Dune is their top model.) Wet Palms manager Brady Littleton gets the word that the mysterious -- and, until now, unseen -- Randall Jett is returning to town. New characters are introduced. Handsome Adonis Alexandros comes to town seeking revenge against the Jett dynasty and manipulates Bang's "straight" coworker, Joey Pole, into his vengeful schemes. The oldest Jett brother, J.P., is also introduced, while "hoppy" 'n' horny Wet Palms groundskeeper Tripp is nowhere to be found. It seems, overnight, a mysterious patron has whisked him away. (Which I was kind of disappointed about. Tripp was just pure, greasy, joyous sexuality. But that's the way a soap opera goes! Your favorites are always getting laid -- and laid off!)
The acting seems stronger this time around. Gabriel Knight, playing Lucky Hanson, and Rob Romoni, as Chase Walker, are still among my favorites. They have great ease and naturalness in front of the camera for both their sex and acting scenes. Bret Wolfe, already solid, has calmed into his role of neurotic Brady Littleton and has some great moments as Littleton goes all "Felicity Huffman" and loses it on Jett energy pills and even whacks out enough to believe that he, himself, might be bearing the next Jett heir. Michael Soldier, too over-the-top the last time out, isn't nearly as moustache twirling here -- but as stated above, the show is much campier this time around, so the overdramatics he displays work somewhat in his favor here. The one who I was most impressed with, though, was Jason Adonis. In previous outings I didn't believe a thing he uttered out of the bedroom, but as Adonis Alexandros he is, if not perfect, at least focused, believable and ofttimes filled with a passion about his character's plight. It is a 100 percent improvement from American Porn Star, the last production that I saw him in.
The sex scenes still average about two per episode, but they are more detailed and -- pardon the expression -- longer this time around. Things start off with Romoni's Walker getting taken to task by his young protégé, played by Cameron Fox. Fox has one of the thickest, "swinging-est" dicks and most masculine fuck styles that I have seen, but he is one of the most awkward, effeminate creatures out of the "fuck" that I have ever seen on a porn screen. Still, once you get over the fact that "His Nelliness" is pounding it to the much beefier, more masculine Romoni, this is an enjoyable, fun sex scene. Hell, it takes place in the lobby of Bubble Underwear, folks! Fox does have one of the most beautiful dicks in films, today -- and when he shakes it out after freeing it from the confines of his trousers, it is almost enough to make you pop a load from that simple motion alone. Romoni takes to that piece the way the shark took to Susan Backlinie in the opening moments of Jaws. He devours that sucker, leaving no head and shoulders on the beach for others to find later! Fox bounces into Romoni's "bubble" with a shirking scowl, and the scene ends with the first of many dramatic flourishes.
The second sex scene in episode four is one of the most dramatic in this set. Brad Benton, as Bang, and Jason Ridge, as Dune, engage in some curiously angst-like make-up sex. Bang knows Dune has been out drugging and whoring around, and Dune vaguely recalls something occurring in the Jett offices between his hubby and da' boss. Ridge, with one of the most handsome faces this side of a major movie star, and Benton, one of the most energetic, versatile porn puppies this side of the Atlantic, are well-matched partners in enthusiasm and body and cock size. They work each other over in equal proportions, with Benton shoving his bursting "bring-it-on" into Ridge first, and then Ridge takes over the reins and gives Benton the aggressive "John Wayne" treatment. Each remembers -- or almost remembers -- the other's wrongdoings during the act and -- emotions flashing and flaring -- take out all their anger and aggression on the other. The sex scenes in these three segments of series definitely go to darker areas, emotionally and physically, as you will soon discover.
The fifth episode begins with the evil Jett brothers, J.P. and Simon, blackmailing Dune's married lover, Todd Marlowe, played by Ethan Marc, into them helping determine whether Hanson really is a long lost Jett heir. While wondering around Wet Palms looking for Dune, Marlowe bumps into Chad Phoenix, a spiritual freeloader, played by Corbin Michaels, in the complex's gym. Marc puts his Bally's membership to good use on Michaels' ass. Marc, who bottomed for Ridge in the series' first episode, proves he is equally proficient at topping in this segment. He uses his curved, magnificently headed pouting pony to drive wails out of the Zen-like Michaels. The two fuck and suck in, around and upon the weight sets and workout equipment. Marc, before popping it in, does give Michaels' well-hung purple pistol a through going over -- much to every viewer's delight, I'm sure.
Knight, as Hanson, seeking to prove that Tripp's "straight" replacement, Lance Lucarelli, played by Kelly Jacobs, also has some AC to his DC, engages him in a wrestling match. This aggressive display -- while not involving any hard-core sex -- is one of the most freeing and enjoyably sexy moments in the film. The same can be said of the scene that follows. Knight skips away after giving Jacobs' some impressive wood, and Wet Palms' wandering slut Ashton Sorenson enters. At first hesitantly, then with gradual enthusiasm, Jacobs warms to Sorenson's administrations. After Sorenson worships Jacobs' boisterous beef pole, Jacobs is so overcome that he engages Sorenson in some sensitive, heartfelt kissing. Thus, even more inspired, Jacobs claims that he is going to "fuck the shit" out of the equally blond, yet slighter Sorenson. Which, surprise of surprises, he proceeds to do. There is such joy and enthusiasm and discovery in the moments between Jacobs -- a guy you'd dream about watching play tag football in the park on crisp fall Sunday afternoons -- and the elegantly European waif-like Sorenson that this is possibly the best sex scene in these episodes. It is, at the least, the most joyful.
The "straight going gay" theme continues into the next episode when Adonis' Adonis Alexandros blackmails the straight and engaged Joey Pole, played by Rod Barry, into sex. There is no joy or discovery in this scene. It is, essentially, rape. The actors are committed, it is well filmed and, in a perverse way, it is hot. Yet the jury is still out for me on whether this scene is a turn-on or a violation to watch. There is punching, slapping, spitting and tons of verbal degradation. It also truly seems like Adonis is never really fucking Barry. (As far as I know, Barry has been an aggressive top in everything I have seen him in.) There are a few quick insertion shots shown and even repeated on occasion, but they are concentrated in only the specific areas of cock and ass. No long shots with any kind of penetration are shown. Still, the performers do a great job, with Barry yowling like a magician's assistant in an experiment gone awry. Adonis is also probably one of the most beautiful physical specimens on display in the porn world -- and that comes from someone not much into the extremely beefy and bulky -- and he photographs like a prince.
The domination and aggression continue in the next scene when Wolfe's drug-addled Littleton is blackmailed and forced into sex by Soldier's Simon Jett. The scene is a bit more lighthearted because of its slightly humorous extremity. Still, it is difficult to watch at certain points. Soldier forces Wolfe to crawl, yield and beg throughout the encounter. Soldier has a great cock, and he forces that perfectly pouting pony into Wolfe with fervor. (Though it does look like, on occasion, even with the help of a cock ring, that he is having trouble keeping it fully erect.) Wolfe thrashes across a coach at different angles in adrenaline-fueled bliss and, when it comes down to it, these two performers create a twisted marvel of an encounter. At the finish, Soldier dumps his hefty load all over Wolfe's slackened jaw. Then he pours the pharmaceuticals that Wolfe so desperately craves on top of the whole sticky, chunky mess. Another moment of hysterical nastiness, fellows!
The sixth episode wraps up with the evil Jett brothers planning to take over Wet Palms just as good brother Randall arrives home to possibly upset their plans. Bang is also upset. Dune discovers his "affair" with Jett and flees for Milan. (This baffles me because Dune has been fucking around on Bang continuously -- and for money!!! Still, I guess, this represents the quicksand power of these things -- they suck you in!)
As previously, there are great extras here -- Gay Chicago is given a wonderful shot-out by Benton and Romoni in its Wet Palms tour on the 4th episode extras. These extras also include a nice sex scene between Gus Mattox, as Randall Jett, and Anthony Shaw, as his hotel date. The enthusiastic Shaw literally brays continually throughout the encounter with pleasure as Mattox sucks on his ass and fucks him.
Still, you don't need the extras or an autographed headshot from Renee Elise Goldsberry to enjoy the highly original and intensely enjoyable Episodes 4-6 of Jet Set's remarkable Wet Palms.
