How to order

Four gay friends create their own reality TV show by betting on who will be the first to fuck the straight man of his dreams on camera for the delectation of the other three. "I'm talking hard cock up his straight virgin ass," says Josh Weston, the instigator. "Drunken blowjobs don't count." Weston, who has his eye on dreamy, straight Latin cable guy Rafael Alencar, enlists the aid of Tyler Gunn in his seduction; the result is a fiery three-way broadcast to Weston's buddies by means of a discreetly deployed Verizon wireless streaming video phone. (This must be the first gay porn production to promote Verizon; one hopes it's the last.) In subsequent episodes, Rocky approaches hetero pool guy Rod Barry; Danny Vox comes on to two butch auto mechanics; and clean-cut Jason Ridge moves from boxing to sex with big, hairless he-man Maxx Diesel.

The script is more written than most scenarios attributed to Chris Steele. Sparks of low-down wit turn up now and then, but most of the non-sexual bits are either stale or beyond the acting range of most of the models. Director Michael Youens fares better with the sex. The arguable high point is the opening three-way, since Weston, Gunn, and Alencar have the best chemistry, but all the sex scenes more or less work. Quasi-godlike Alencar, who shines in the opening sequence of Kristen Bjorn's Men Amongst the Ruins, is down-to-earth and sweetly amusing in his cable-guy role. The closing credits extend special thanks to Chi Chi LaRue, who may have helped perk up the sex; one wonders what might have resulted if masterful comic porn director Wash West had helped perk up the humor.
