How to order

Chris Steele is learning not to try too hard. Some of his past efforts to impersonate a drop-dead dominant top have slipped into camp histrionics; here he exercises restraint and radiates power and authority. Appearing in harness and chaps for a one-on-one session with leather-worshipper Jon Galt, he credibly means business. By contrast, as the balmy host of The Rear Factor, a Fear Factor parody focused on "the ultimate butt fantasy," he offers a reminder that he can also be pretty funny.

Since The Rear Factor has a lot going for it, you may wish the action didn't jump arbitrarily from one vignette to the next within a single sex scene, and that the uncredited script made sense. Three contestants are supposedly trying to outdo one another in taking anal sex fantasies "to the extreme limit." But the closest this video comes to pushing the envelope is a golden showers sequence. (If only Raging Stallion's Chris Ward could have served as ass-play advisor.) The most voracious butthole belongs to Steve Pierce, a non-contestant. Among the Rear Factor rivals, muscular Jon Galt gets the heaviest anal workout, at one point weathering double penetration with a gnarly dildo and Chris Steele's cock, but he unaccountably loses to Tag Adams.

So does Anthony Shaw, but he sneaks back in and gets swept into a final "training" session in which Steele and staff are putting Adams through additional challenges. When Shaw reappears, you expect his rivalry with Adams to be played out in sexual terms, or his violation of the rules to exact some punishment, but he just enters the orgy-in-progress without any fuss. Among Rear Factor's missed opportunities, however, there's some effective sex. Besides the red-hot fusion of Galt and Steele, there's a hospital sketch in which Shaw becomes the midsection of a fuck-train. Winner Tag Adams is supposed to be an ad executive; looking the part seems to heighten his lack of inhibition. His most memorable moment here is when, in a jailhouse segment, he drinks a stream of Leo Bramm's piss. He also gets fucked multiple times, and shoves a big, beaded whatchamajigger up Steve Pierce's bum.
