This video reminds me a lot of director Will Astor's popular series, First Time Tryers - just without the interviews and the lack of good editing. If Astor got someone who knew how to cut a video, he'd start kicking out some incredible amateur product.
Indeed, that's what this video favors: Amateurs. Guys you wouldn't expect to have done a porn vid, guys you see on the beach or in class or on the street just going about their own business. And in that area, Astor has a fine gift - picking out his models.
He opens the video with an explosive pairing - I don't know the guys' names; they aren't credited on the video. But these two (who Astor informed me were actual boyfriends) have amazing chemistry, incredibly rock-hard, monster dicks and a genuine screen presence. They are in a segment entitled "Things Aren't What They Appear to Be." They start out watching a straight porn tape and quickly pull out their cocks (to the delighted gasps of the audience, I might add). The video is forgotten as they take turns swallowing each other's meat. They spout hetero rhetoric at each other, which will make fans of straight boys get excited, and when the ass-licking starts, things really start to heat up. After five torid minutes of ass eating, they start fucking, and each takes a turn stabbing the other's asshole, to the delight of both. They unleash gobs of spooge and realize that the video has somehow moved into a gay tape (Billy Herrington's Body Shop, for those dying to know). Oh, well, they say, and continue kissing.
Things start to go downhill from there. The next scene, entitled "Scrub Mine and I'll Scrub Yours," begins with an uncut, bubble-butted blond cutie in the shower. He is joined by a dark-haired guy with a nice, long dick. An oral scene commences that results in both guys spilling their seed in the shower - the brunet even uses some Pantene to lather up his cock. Talk about product placement. A few moments of heat is captured here, but it dissipates as fast as the steam in the shower.
(And a word about the music used - retire it! Nothing brings me out of a scene faster than listening to the same old tired stock music that every porn company uses. Gay porn has one thing over the straight side - we have actual composers out there making music for our sex scenes. Use them!)
Anyway, George Favor is up next (I'm pretty sure it's him - he's becoming known now as George Fleece, so I'm simply doing the math here). His segment is "I'll Do It Myself." He gets off the phone with someone, frustrated, and decides to work himself over with his hands and a dildo. About 25 long minutes later, he shoots all over his stomach.
Final scene is a tepid threesome (although the first guy shown on the bed sleeping is relatively cute). "I Must Be Dreaming" loses all the heat as the three guys struggle to stay hard and prevent themselves from staring at the clock. I was watching as well.
I think that if you watch the opener you won't be disappointed. Personally, I think it's worth the cost of the tape itself. But the rest of the video - well, it's a good thing to check out if you're looking for fresh faces but not if you're looking for hot sex.
