With his third video, performer Michel Lucas becomes an ex-performer as he announces his retirement from fucking in front of the camera. Let's hope he's not put that in stone - he's far too sexy to leave behind the scenes. (Thank goodness he has a non-sexual role in this video.) But as long as he is able to capture the raw sex that he has been, it will be allowed. (Just throw in an occasional non-sex role to appease your masses, okay, Michel?)
Lucas plays himself as he interviews three models: Two are established (Roberto Vista and Logan Reed) and one is a newcomer (Peter Ericson). In each of the scenes, Lucas talks to each model briefly about what (and who) they'll do on camera, and then we zoom right into the action.
Vista is his first interview. Vista is also one of his most popular models after introducing the world to him two movies ago with Back in the Saddle. Vista is looking to top, and Lucas shows him a picture of the beautiful Carlos Carrera, a man with a huge dick yet loves to get fucked. Their scene starts out with a lot of great kissing before Vista dominates the bigger man and impales him on his cock. Both men stay incredibly hard, and there's a lot of heat in this brief scene.
Reed (who is still, in my opinion, one of the sexiest men working in porn today and quite possibly one of the sexiest men on the planet) has never been fucked on-camera by a black man, so Lucas introduces big-dicked, black stud Rodney Parks. Again, there is some terrific oral stuff that happens between these turned-on men before Parks buries his black bone in Reed's back door.
Ericson is a newcomer that Lucas tries to pair with Carreram, but Ericson is smitten with Lucas' assistant, Cameron Taylor. Taylor decides to give the new boy a whirl, and whirl him he does. Ericson deep throats Taylor's huge, meaty schlong before Taylor leans the little blond over the sofa to nail him. Another brief scene, but the chemistry between the two works well. Ericson has a terrific ass and knows how to enjoy it.
The final scene has Lucas directing his three stars (Reed, Vista and Ericson) on a bed. Reed loves Ericson's throat as Ericson swallows Reed's rod and tells him so, as Vista digs into Ericson's butt with his tongue. Lucas pops in occasionally to give ideas and, at one point, slap some ice cream on Ericson's ass so the other two can scoop it out with their tongues. Lucas' appearance can be a help and a hindrance here - he's gorgeous so he's nice to look at, but he takes the heat away from the scene, taking the viewer completely out. Eventually, he disappears, and Reed and Vista take turns fucking Ericson. At one point, both dicks slide up the blond's butt and Ericson whimpers in sheer delight as he takes the double-fucking like a good, little sex pig.
It's certainly not Lucas' best, and there are some technical flaws (choppy editing, overly bright lighting at times), but he still manages to capture some raw energy that not many filmmakers can get from his performers. I like that his stuff is not polished and has that edge about it; it's more real. But there's not a dud performer in the video, and the sex is pretty hot - it's just that some of it is too brief.
But for his third attempt, Lucas is still on his roll. Now, if we can only persuade him to jump back in front of the camera as well.
