I'm not what anyone would consider a true thrill seeker. But if someone asked me to list the top three daredevil stunts that I'd love to try, they'd be skydiving, running with the bulls and sitting on Michael Lucas' casting couch. It's not really the couch that the guys have to worry about, rather it's Michael's big 'ole bed secreted away somewhere in Manhattan. Among his trademarks are the beautiful, in-shape men who come from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds. Before he puts these guys through the paces, he asks some fairly generic questions in his polite but halting English. Often, their English is worse than his, but the warmth and sincerity with which the men speak is what it's really about. I personally like the interviews, and Michael has a definite knack when it comes to helping the men open up.
The best audition here isn't really an audition at all, but rather the result of some very clever planning on Michael's part. Asoka and Marcel D'Ambrosio have both auditioned before -- paying their dues as it were. Putting these two men together was inspired. The set-up has its comic moments. Marcel, a native of Brooklyn, is rather matter-of-fact about the whole thing, telling Michael during the opening interview that there aren't many things he doesn't like sexually. "What about toys?" Michael asks. A delicious moment of uncertainty drifts across Marcel's masculine face. In the end, Michael produces not one toy but two, giving Marcel the option of which one he'd like to perform with.
It seemed obvious from the outset (at least to me) that Marcel and Asoka were eager to get started, regardless of the cameras in the room. It's that raw hunger and urgency that made this particular pairing come off with a big bang. Asoka starts the session the way he finishes -- chowing down on Marcel's hot ass. For all of Michael's machinations, the dildo play ended up being inconsequential and was quickly abandoned. What Marcel really wanted were wiggling fingers and Asoka's uncut prick. On the bed next to Marcel, Asoka doesn't look nearly as powerful as his partner. But his dark exotic looks, beard, hairy crotch and chest set him up as the man in charge. Their lovemaking was entirely authentic and incredible to watch. Neither one seemed to be able to stay put in one position for very long, staying constantly in motion while fucking. With every new position, Asoka seemed to find a new pleasure spot inside Marcel's ass, inspiring Marcel to buck, spit and devour Asoka's tongue. Sucking on Marcel's open hole puts Asoka over the edge, so much so that he's literally crying out with pleasure. Make no mistake n Michael Lucas knows exactly what he's doing.
Josh and Sebasthian come from entirely different continents, landing comfortably in front of the Mr. Lucas' cameras. This is another pair that is seemingly well matched, similar in their shy sex appeal. The action that is captured here unfolds beautifully, reminding me of the first moments I've had with some of my own partners. It's quite different from scripted and choreographed porn-style fucking (although each has its appeal), and it's refreshing in its tentativeness. The pair takes their time kissing and undressing, Josh waiting for just the right moment to start sucking Sebasthian's cock. With the warm-up behind them, they experiment with rimming, and eventually maneuver themselves into a 69 position. At some point, it's as if someone has lit a fire inside Sebasthian. He hungrily devours Josh's hole, rolling him completely back onto his shoulder blades just so he can get his tongue in deeper. Like a snowball rolling downhill, Sebasthian starts moving toward his orgasm, slipping on a condom and banging Josh's butt. Josh, for his part, happily goes with the flow, sweetly whimpering while he jacks his own steel-stiff prick. Josh gets off with Sebasthian buried deep, shooting onto his stomach.
Michael is also savvy enough to audition black guys paired up with white guys, setting off more than a few sparks. Kevin, a muscular and tattooed black man, is toothy and cocksure. His audition partner, Jesse, is equally cocksure given his young age. It seems the only thing they may have in common is their overall comfort level with sex and the experience they're sharing in front of the camera and Michael. They almost immediately roll right into a 69, and from the looks of it, Kevin is one hell of a cocksucker. He's got a lot to work with -- Jesse has a lovely long cock. With a pillow propped under his ass, Jesse is the lucky recipient of a lip-smackin' rimjob, and a noisy one at that. Kevin is truly relentless with his hands and fingers. And with a serious look of concentration, he fucks Jesse's ass so intently, beads of sweat soon dot his forehead. As it turns out, Kevin makes a much better bottom than he does a top, spreading his legs out wide and keeping them stationary for an incredible amount of time.
The interview portion with John Lamb and Danny Bitho is almost better than the sex. John is certainly one of the cockiest pups to cross paths with Michael Lucas. He seethes with impatience when asked the simplest questions, having the balls to go toe-to-toe with Michael. When set loose in front of the cameras, he tosses aside his towel and approaches his scene partner with visible swagger and a prick that's already assuredly stiff. From the get-go he puts Danny in the submissive role, hooking the viewer immediately with his considerable prowess. His cock is gorgeous and compliments his unassuming physique perfectly. Michael watches the boys 69 for a bit, hidden off-camera. But as is his style, he joins the party whenever it suits him. After watching John rim then top Danny, he's unable to resist and puts himself in frame, directly into Danny's open mouth. My wish came true when he put John in his place, unleashing his inner Alpha dog and fucking John on his back. My guess is that it was this unexpected power play that forced John to cum while Michael was fucking him.
Sweet Omer is the last to be put under Michael's microscope. He is perhaps the most beautiful of the guys in this edition, and it's difficult to know given his complex Israeli accent whether or not he's aware that his beauty can and will open doors. His charms are certainly working on Michael -- he's stiff before he's even out of his jeans. Omer is blessed, not only with a killer, tan ass, but with the innate ability to flirt. Casually chewing gum, he seems amused when Michael stands on the bed fully erect. Then with the slightest wink and smirk, he puts Michael's cock in his mouth and goes to town. Michael quickly gravitates to his favorite activity, thoroughly exploring Omer's unspoiled hole not long after they start 69ing. Grabbing Omer's ankles, Michael pulls his bottom boy up and over onto his shoulders, mastering his butthole with fingers, spit and explicit verbal commands. After long moments of slow and agonizing foreplay, Michael finally grabs the lube and owns Omer's ass. Michael Lucas is without a doubt one of the best tops in the business and his scene partners have the stiff pricks to prove it. Watching these two hook up was a joy, but with any luck, Omer's won't be the last ass Michael Lucas takes for a test drive.

Although the first two scenes are good enough to watch (African-American Kevin Wood tops and bottoms for fair-headed twink Jesse Dane, who then licks up their combined genetic stew from Wood's abs). the wild man fucking starts with Marcel D and sexually aggressive Asoka. Asoka fucks Marcel from one end of the bed to the other. Their obvious chemistry makes their coupling one of the hottest of the video.
Next is the duo-turned-trio of Danny Bitho and John Lamb. When Bitho admits his versatility, you know that Lucas has just got to take a dip in his furry crack. Bitho's legs fly open, but only after he's soundly pounded adorable Lamb's hole. Lamb chose such a rather oxymoronic nom-de-plume; he retains his boy-like innocent smile even while deep-throating Bitho's substantial meat and opening his hole to both Bitho and Lucas' anal depredations. Bitho, on the other hand, is incredible in his versatility -- his 9 incher is as rock hard when he fucks Lamb as it is when he's getting plowed by Lucas
Just when I thought I was cured of having crushes on porn stars, newcomer and cover boy Omer cums in and wrecks my world. He is just simply stunning. Pay attention to Michael Lucas' interview with him on the bed; look closely at his doe-like eyes and long lashes. With his delicate beauty, his alluring smile, adorable Israeli accent and wiry dancer's physique, Omer is the embodiment of holy Adonis himself. Sigh. An admitted bottom, Omer is also highly skilled in scarfing down Lucas's mighty pole while Lucas loosens his hairless pink sphincter with his tongue and a few fingers.
The following anal scene is so disparagingly unchoreographed it is truly one of the most disappointing things I've yet to see in porn. The dominating Lucas flips poor Omer (who, like a champ, keeps his hard-on throughout) in some 20 differing positions, so you never really get a sense of enjoyable sex from this coupling. Granted, the scene is hot enough just seeing Lucas' infamous tool sink into Omer's shapely brown ass, but the awkward positioning and repositioning is not only distracting but also a bit frustrating. Omer if you're reading this, call me. I can promise a smoother transition.
Technically, the filming is quite decent. There are a few brief problems with a stray leg getting in the way of a blow job or shadows cast on anal penetrations, but given the amateur atmosphere, these trouble spots are negligible. Otherwise, the hand held camera work and the skeleton crew (basically just Lucas and the cameraman are in the room in most scenes) managed to pull off the type of steamy encounters we expect from this studio.
