I am tempted to give "The Dark Stag" the highest recommendation based on the cover alone. Check out that slab of hairy man on the cover, Lucas Gabo, and you'll se what I mean.
Luckily, there is no reason to do it for that reason alone, because the sex, the men, and the quality here is first-rate throughout, and there is not a moment that isn't burned into my memory. Director Francesco D'Macho has realized one of the most creative, sexy, and awesome visions of mansex I have seen in some time, none of it formulaic or predictable.
It starts with the amazing Lucas, who does a solo on top of a building that is riveting. Lucas sniffs and licks his hairy armpits, grabs his uncut cock (which isn't that big to begin with, then grows to an amazing length and thickness -- it's like some erotic magic trick), and eventually coats his hairy chest and belly with creamy white stuff.
Valentin Carrera and Alex Deseo are up next, in a hot scene that looks like it was caught on security cam. There is only one point of view, as it should be, in this scene, and the two young studs suck, fuck, and cum frantically, as if they were trying to do it before getting caught. This scene has the quality of realism that is rarely found in porn productions, and it is the hotter for it. Plus, Alex has the butt of death.
Jonas Carvalho's hard dick pokes out his shorts from underneath as he faces down Maikel Saravia, as the two dare each other to make the first move. When Jonas does, Maikel rebuffs him, and the two grapple for dominance in an open field. Jonas pins Maikel and shoves his erection in his face. Maikel acquiesces and sucks Jonas, but not long after that the tables turn again and there is a struggle for who is going to be on top again -– these two just keep on unsettling the balance until the final moments, and it is hot as hell watching them do it.
In a segment titled "From Dusk til Dawn," a sleeping Gaston Jimenez is ambushed by buddy Alan Efron in bed, and the scene is at first shot as through night-vision goggles. The prey awaits unaware as Alan pulls down his underwear and sucks him, then leaving him for the night. The next morning, Gaston is awake and Alan is still horny, and he goes for it again, this time with Gaston fully conscious. Alan gets Gaston's full-on fuck treatment then, a pounding that, while intended as a punishment, leaves him nothing if not fully sated. Until the next night.
Jonas is back for the next scene, this time paired with the gorgeous Gustavo Bartok. It's a drug deal in a car that turns into something a lot more when Gustavo goes down on Jonas, and then Jonas reciprocates. Outside the car, Jonas eats out Gustavo's furry ass and then fucks him from behind, then Gustavo sucks Jonas again, leading to a huge facial cum-shot for Gustavo, with Jonas' load dripping off his handsome mug and tongue.
The last scene takes us, improbably but certainly thrillingly, to a monastery, where two monks (Sebastian Cole and Rick Moreno) find themselves on the brink of Armageddon, so they figure why not fuck each other? Makes sense to me. Rick fucks Sebastian, pulling their robes high enough to make it work, and the scene ends with an open-mouthed cumshot, with Sebastian eating Rock's load. It's the end of the world as they know it, but they feel fine (Sorry, R.E.M.).
