Romping through Bel Ami favorite Josh Elliot's career we go in a series of previously-unreleased vignettes that show us Josh as a shy boy turning into Josh a hunky man. No matter his size or partner, he always performs with a huge grin, captivating sense of fun and lots of sexual gusto. He has that eternal quality that Bel Ami superstars have, that ability to look frozen in time, the time of sexual peak and performance, both as exuberant as a young man and as experienced as an adult.
Josh sits down for an interview and is immediately kidded about his time in the make-up chair, but he handles it with smiles. Then it's on to hard questions like the origin of his new hairdo (he admits that director George Duroy liked the old one, which looked like two buttcheeks on his head), which finds more barbs lobbed his way. However, directly after that comes a solo scene of Josh with the old blonder younger haircut. What's on his head doesn't matter, not with that gorgeous face, chiseled toned body and giant straight-pointing cock. The scene is really a photoshoot, but Josh gets to pump a bit and show off his ass too. The cum-shot at the end is fine, but the scene has really been used as a welcome for all to follow.
Back when Josh joined Bel Ami, he tells us, he was "as flighty as a rabbit," and that led to erection problems, so he often had to bottom. Case in point is a scene with floppy-haired Ethan Clarke. The youths are in bed getting hard, so Ethan licks down Josh's pristine body and then sucks him. Josh is given a mouthful with Ethan's dick, but he blows agreeably, whipping his head around and following the director's orders to lick around Ethan's body. Josh's ass, hairy just at the crack, gets fingered briefly and then fucked by Ethan. They start sideways, never easy, but Josh looks very comfortable, despite the tightness of his ass that Ethan finds pretty daunting. Other positions solve that problem and help Ethan into a lovely session. Josh ends it by riding Ethan professionally and then cumming.
Josh tells about all of the exciting places he's been as a Bel Ami model (though not the U.S., he says, because they wouldn't give him a visa, though his questioner insists it's because he looks like Laura Bush!). His favorite travel episode of all involved Benjamin Bloom, a delicious blond cutie with earrings. The scene is actually a long photoshoot that has them no more hardcore than kissing and sporting hardons. They pose in every possible position, each one a wonderful fantasy, but Josh does get to spew at the end.
Sebastian Bonnet, wielding a camera, "happened" to catch Josh in the shower with Jeff Daniels one time. Jeff is a succulent strapping tattooed guy and the two of them in the shower together is a heavenly sight. After some goony moments, Jeff goes down on Josh with the water running all over him, delivering a very friendly blowjob. Josh sucks just as well, really stretching to pack in a lot of Jeff's dick. Jeff cums on Josh's chest and then sits on Josh's dick to get fucked. Josh makes for a grand top, working hard sitting on the toilet and thrusting up into Jeff. A bunch of potent positions later, Josh cums on an ecstatic Jeff's butt.
Ralph Woods is Josh's partner in the next scene, with has a talky introduction in broken English, which brunet monster-cocked Ralph speaks. After a day on the beach, Ralph and Josh, getting beefier now, go inside where Ralph starts the sucking, gobbling at Josh and nailing a deep-throat. The blowjob is given oodles of screen time, which is a welcome change from the usual Bel Ami fleetness. There's no way to deep-throat Ralph, but Josh sure works hard on him, with both his mouth and hand (still leaving so many inches untouched!). Josh jacks off Ralph and then fucks him. It's a bit of a gyp since it would be great to see Ralph topping, but Josh is full of elegant style here and with his more muscular stature, he's full of power. Ralph cums again with Josh fucking him and then Josh finally gets to pop off a geyser shot.
A particular favorite for Josh is the one he did with an old buddy, glamorous intense brunet Alex Orioli. Wasting very little time, the two kiss all over the house until reaching the bedroom. There is a heap of chemistry between them, so all the initial teasing is welcome. Alex then sucks Josh, paying particular attention to his balls. Josh goes full-tilt back to whipping head style to conquer Alex's thick piece, with Alex face-fucking him to help. A 69 is a real treat, and then Josh fucks Alex. Now so secure and able as a top, Josh has hit full porn star extraordinaire level. He plays with speeds and knows just how to touch both himself and Alex as he fucks to keep it all spicy and entertaining. Alex shoots on his glorious abs as Josh thrusts into him and then sits on Josh to ride until Josh has another unbelievably big blast.
Another favorite is Luke Hamill, the dimple-chinned mop-topped who has been his partner in a few movies. For proof of their attraction, we get to watch a photo session done for "Graffiti," back when Josh was still blond and boyish. It's another of those teases that shows some almost-sex with mighty hardons. The two get into some frisky acrobatic poses for good measure.
Luke shows up in the flesh to be interviewed with Josh, but not for sex. Instead, they recount their glories as trainers for new Bel Ami models. The questioner has two guys ready to be trained, and Josh is interested most in Dolph Lambert, who reminds him of himself years ago, ready to be pried from his shell. What follows, however, is not a scene where Josh gets to train Dolph, but instead a pairing of Dolph with dashing dark-haired Rick Fontana after a spirited game of badminton (and, in this already long movie, a Josh-less scene is pretty, but not necessary). Dolph actually has a very beefy physique as Bel Ami goes, and he's definitely aggressive while macking with Rick. Dolph isn't a spectacular blower, but he looks beautiful taking what he can of Rick's cock. Rick is actually more of a powerhouse, chomping down hard on Dolph's thickness and not letting go. They suck back and forth until Rick is ready to fuck Dolph. Now Rick really takes over the scene, slamming at Dolph and burying the full length of his impressive piece inside. He's ready for any position and has a huge amount of zest. Both guys have fine cum-shots.
We wouldn't want to bring in Luke Hamill and give him nothing to do, so for no apparent reason he gets a scene with the other new model, Andre Pagnol, a stunning brunet. Again, as professional as they are, and as good as the scene is, why is it in this movie? Maybe Luke needs a movie of his own! Anyway, it's notable because Andre has the biggest dick around other than Ralph Woods. Luke spends a bit of time kissing and licking Andre and then gets to work on the meat. Luke is a far better oralist than Josh, so his gulping of Andre is a pleasure, especially shot in such close-up. Andre gets to blow too, bending over Luke for some 69 action and then some solo suck time. Luke tops here, raging at Andre with brutal speed, not that Andre complains at all. Not only is Luke fast, but he's deep too. He lets loose a hip grind motion that keeps Andre plugged for a long time until Andre is ready to ride Luke. They then return to Luke's crashing tempo sideways where Andre quietly cums. Luke is a lot less noiseless planting his goo on Andre's tongue.
