Director Chi Chi LaRue, about once a year, raises the stakes in the porn game with a peerless effort. For 2009, LaRue rips the motherfuckin’ roof off with "Taken: To the Next Level.” A sextet of scorching scenes, emphasis on the “sex,” don’t cha know. We are taken along on a sexual journey into the bowels of sex.
On the subject of bowels, we are immediately introduced to the entrance of Adam Killian’s -- a tiny little butthole, framed by two spectacular tanned asscheeks. Adam is writhing about as he is suspended by some sort of sexual harness thingy, his muscles and tattoos glistening with sweat and baby oil. Adam pries open the aforementioned tiny butthole with his fingers, digging in to flash his pretty slit to the camera. He then proceeds to shove a burning candle up his chute (the lit end exposed, of course). The candle doesn’t satisfy, so he progresses to a big dildo, twisting and shoving the large black rubber in and out of his hole. Blondie Phillip Aubrey, all the while, lurking in the shadows, watching and learning. Phillip begins to get aroused by watching Adam, he toys with self-asphyxiation and before long finds himself in Adam's world. Adam showers himself with his own urine and finally a squirt of spunk in the end. Adam becomes aware of Phillip watching in the corner and takes him to the other side ...
In the next passage, Johnny Hazzard is bound, encased in wax and jacked off by Zane Jacobs and Derek da Silva. Phillip enters a room and finds Johnny Hazzard and Derek Da Silva exploring each other’s bodies while Zane Jacobs jerks off nearby. Phillip moves in for a closer look, but remains in the background throughout. Johnny moves over to Zach and delivers a greedy blowjob, and then moves back to Derek to get rimmed and fucked. Derek and Zane rim Johnny's hole before moving into a three-way fuck sandwich: Zack is the man in the middle, fucking Johnny while being fucked by Derek. Next we find Johnny strapped to a St. Andrews cross where he is artfully flogged by Derek, then covered in colorful hot wax by both of his masters. They jerk Johnny off, and then dump their loads at his bound feet -- cum, wax and funk mixing together on the dank floor.
Phillip gets into the swing of things next, Diesel Washington fucking him, and Lucas Knowles fucking Zack Jamison. Diesel emerges from the shadows and circles a cage-bound Phillip. Diesel leans down and kisses Phillip through the cage before ordering him to suck his huge cock. Zach is in the next room sucking on Lucas, gets fucked briefly by Lucas, but before long ends up in the room with Diesel and Phillip. Diesel tongue-fucks Phillip, Lucas and Zack. Phillip then squats down on Diesel’s big dong and rides, a multi-position fuck, which also has Diesel sucking Lucas' uncut dick along the way. Phillip gives Diesel a piss facial, as Lucas gives one to Zack across the room (Diesel gurgling and spitting Phillip’s urine up like a fountain). Diesel shoots his thick load on Phillips armpit and licks it out before Lucas and Zack shoot their loads on Phillip.
Blake Riley and David Taylor are sensually kissing at first, then Blake moves down and takes David's cock in his mouth and David does likewise. David flips Blake over, fucks his ass, and pulls out a water hose to clean Blake off. David shoves the hose in Blake's ass, as Blake shoots the water back out on his top’s erection. After playing in the water, Blake pisses all over himself as David pisses all over Blake. They clean up with the water hose, and then jerk their own hoses to orgasm. Phillip in the shadows. Watching. Learning.
Shane Risk starts off locked in a large cage, with four men standing over him. They continue to circle the cage, looking through a hole in the top. Shane moves his head up through the hole as the four men gather around and dangle their big cocks above (Dominic Pacifico, Tyler Saint, Josh West and Chad Manning). They make Shane beg for cock. Shane is out of the cage and takes turn sucking each dick as Phillip emerges. Phillip circles the group, feeling the guys up as Shane swallows their cocks and the guys rim his butt. Phillip joins the group by sucking on Shane's dick. The men then take turns fucking each other: Josh slams a fuck into Dominic; Dominic fucks Tyler with his huge cock for a long time; and then Tyler, Josh and Dominic take turns fucking a cock-happy Shane.
For the finale, Luke Cassidy, Jeremy Bilding, Mitchell Rock, Phillip and Adam are on hand for a scene that features the hardcore debut of Mitchell, the gorgeous bodybuilder sucking and getting fucked like a pro. But before we get to that little piece of muscle-butt heaven, Luke is worshiping Jeremy's crotch through a leather jock, licking and spitting. As Luke moves to sucking Jeremy, Mitchell appears and rubs himself as he watches Jeremy and Luke. Jeremy walks over to Mitchell and begins sucking his rock-hard prick. Adam and Phillip arrive. They kiss and Phillip falls to his knees and licks Adam's body before taking his cock in his mouth. Adam watches Mitchell and Jeremy while Phillip services him. Luke joins Phillip and sucks Adam as he continues to watch Mitchell and Jeremy. Next we find the group huddled around Mitchell each taking turns sucking and rimming the muscle stud, Phillip sneaking up from behind and fucking Mitchell rather harshly, the muscle-butt heaving and falling, Mitchell bending over to suck in Adam’s fat cock in between Phillip’s powerful thrusts. Jeremy then missionary-fucks the hell out Adam on a bench, Adam moaning and groaning in complete ecstasy as Jeremy pumps his butt full of cock. Adam, done with getting fucked by Jeremy, takes on the top role, doggy-fucking Phillip, as Phillip blows Mitchell. Mitchell then fucks Luke. Last, but not least, Adam fucks Mitchell with a giant dildo before all the guys shoot their loads.
