How to order

Marcello Reeves, a sultry Brazilian who launched his American porn career about seven years ago as Marcelo Reeves, has Italianized his first name by adding an extra l, and has begun directing his own features. Taking charge may have enhanced his looks-- he seems sleeker here, and more awake. Prowling New York City, lying in bed fantasizing, or putting a bottom through his paces, Reeves brings the easy confidence of a star to his appearances on camera. His work behind the camera is less assured.

In Desires of Men, Reeves only performs in the first of four sex scenes, all of which appear to have been shot in one New York loft. Despite some S/M trappings and lots of spit, most of the sex is conventional. The final segment does, however, start with a top man barking orders at two bottoms he leads in on leashes, and end with a blast of spooge directed at the open mouth of one of the bottom-boys. The racially mixed, mostly unfamiliar cast wears leather harnesses, chaps, shorts, and other paraphernalia. Some models are hot; their fetish gear accentuates their allure. Unfortunately, names and faces aren't matched anywhere in the credits, or in the photo gallery that accompanies the DVD edition.
