Seeing a Man About a Horse


Rancher Casey has been buying horses from the wild horse round-ups for years. He's never seen a stallion like Feder, though, and when the two of them meet up his well-ordered life goes right out the window.

Feder has always been able to transform from horse to man, but he's never really had the urge to spend any time as a human until now. He finds Casey, and the things they do together, incredibly intriguing. What both Casey and Feder have to remember is that cowboys and wild animals need to be free to be happy. Can they find the balance that allows them to be together?

Marked


This is I think the most unusual werewolf story I have ever read. Alec is a young gay man. We don't have much physical description about him, but I can imagine him like a nice guy, handsome but not stunning. And he has had a very bad experience one year before with a quad of rogue werewolfes which has left him with scars on the body and in the mind. He fears anything and anyone. So when Liam, the older brother of a child he has known in the library where he works, begins to approach him, Alec reacts badly.To be true Liam is not much of a word, and his sexual approaches are a little rough. But Alec, despite his mind screams abuse, finds his body react to this man.

Liam is a very young (24 years old) and very hansome man. He could have anyone he wants but he has a strange behaviour and most people go away after the first encouter. And now he has a little brother to take care and so it's almost two years that he hasn't met no one. But what he draws him to Alec, is not only sexual need, it's also the calling of his mate. Cause Liam is a werewolf and now he has to protect not only his little brother from the rogue quad, but also his new-found mate. ........

Noah Winthrop never forgot his first time. Scary, painful and then absolutely amazing-and with Cameron, the guy he-d always wanted. He-s had a crush on his brother-s best friend since puberty and now nothing will keep him from finally getting Cameron Lewis to notice him.

Without Reservations


Sometimes love just catches you by the tail...

Chayton Winston is a veterinarian. He is also a werewolf. Much to his Native American parent's chagrin, he has always dreamed of a fair-haired, Caucasian mate. However, he never imagined his mate would be male. As a heterosexual man, he's not quite sure what to do with a male mate, but more than willing to find out.

Keaton Reynolds wakes up, in wolf form, and finds himself with a mate. He's instantly attracted, but not so thrilled to find out the man is straight. Having been in a relationship once before where his partner professed to be "Not gay" left a bad taste in his mouth. Keaton wants to make a break for it and pretend he never set eyes on Chay -- but Chay is not ready to let him go.

Together the two work to solidify their shaky relationship and battle the prejudices against homosexuals. Chay must deal with not only his mother's prejudices against gay men but also her hatred of white people. When a power struggle in Keaton's pack threatens Keaton's life, the two men learn to depend on one another and their relationship to get them through it.

Best Gay Romance 2009


In Best Gay Romance 2009, editor Richard Labonté has assembled the foremost of contemporary short stories on the subject. Jack Fritscher's “The Calamus Emotion: Love Among the Ruins” tenderly tracks a romance in letters set against the dramatic backdrop of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. S. J. Frost's “Semper Fi” finds a despondent young Marine looking for love in a Chicago bar after the death of the beloved Saudi Arabian translator who saved his life in Iraq. In Neil Plakcy's “The Baker,” more than yeast rises when an overworked French baker meets a customer searching for the perfect pain au chocolat. Emphasizing emotions over erotics, these vivid tales of love sought, lost, and found show that however romance happens, however long it lasts — one night or a lifetime — love between men is a wondrous thing.

Angelic Interludes

"When Matthew (Mad About The Boy, Summer The First Time) dreams, he dreams of fresh faced angels, beautiful young men from Bel Ami's stable of models. His dreams take the form of sensual fantasies. He dreams of attraction at an Eastern European sauna. A woodland voyeuristic fantasty. A photographer's seduction of his model. To Matthew, they're all angels, spectacular specimens of youthful manhood. Enjoy!"Read More...

Dieux du Stade


It's a great video, considered that the models are professional athletes, even if of a lesser considered sport in France. The video in itself is of a better quality compared to the previous ones. The rugby players appear to be extremely comfortable in front of the camera. In part this might be due to acquired experience, but also because French guys (as men of some other European countries) live nakedness and nudity in a very different way than American athletes do. Well, here there are truly delicious specimens of masculine beauty. Some athletes show a bit more, while others have the tendency to partially cover their genitals. They know they are beautiful, sexy, and coveted. I recommend this video to anyone who has a marked sense of aesthetics, and attraction/interest in the male body as well as men with other men, or let's say the male bond. Of course this video can be watched and interpreted with many different types of spectacles, and probably fantasies as well as the guys do not really disclose much of themselves. In many ways, this video is a remarkable work of art, and the athletes have patiently done a great job!! Read More...

The Houseboy

Ricky (Nick May) is a cute twinkish 21 year old who is "The Houseboy" (2007) to a gay couple in New York City. Or, more accurately, he is their frequent bed partner, or "toy" that they use to try to convince themselves that their relationship is as solid as it was when they first met ten years before. When the couple goes to one of their parents for Christmas, Ricky is left alone to housesit and care for their small menagerie of fish, bunnies, hamsters and feral cats.

What they don't know is that Ricky overheard one of them lament that he wanted a "new toy" for Christmas, which devastated the young man, who had recently become estranged from his family after coming out to them. Already depressed by being alone during the holidays, and devastated at the thought of being tossed aside by the couple he thought loved him, he plans to commit suicide in their home on Christmas Eve, so that they will discover him when they return. In the meantime, he hooks up with anonymous tricks he meets on the internet, agrees to go home with a kindly older man, and has a couple of dangerous liaisons with a rough-trade hood he met in a park. The one bright spot of his week is meeting Blake (Blake Young-Fountain), a guy his own age who seems genuinely friendly and real, but is put off by Ricky's premature push toward intimacy.

Damon and Hunter: Doing It Together (Real People, Real Life, Real Sex series)


Tony Comstock is the creator and master of a new genre of films: explicit couples' sexuality documentaries. Comstock states that "intent to arouse" is often cited as the dividing line between art and porn. Of all the emotions a director might hope to induce in an audience, arousal remains the last taboo, and Tony Comstock takes it head-on.

I bought all of Comstock's collection at the urgings of the editorial team over at the Feddy & Eddy website. Comstock is a genius, and Damon and Hunter is my hands-down favorite of all his titles. For reference, his other titles include Marie and Jack (Comstock's first film, with married pornographic actors), Xana and Dax (an experienced NY blonde and her younger Brazilian lover), Matt & Khym (a 30-something married couple), and Ashley & Kisha (a lesbian couple). Damon and Hunter is the story of two gay male lovers, and I encourage viewers of any sexual orientation to pick this one up. I'm a heterosexual female and I can assure you that both my partner and I enjoyed this one. Read More...

Erotic Touch

Well If you are getting it for the mental stimulation such as a learning tool to upgrade your relationship... pass. If you are looking for this to be arrousal material.. pass. It fails on all accounts.

My copy was so dark it was difficult to see if there were even people in the scene and no way to tell what they were really doing. I believe it may have been made with someones home camera?? Dark and mostly black and burgandy colors.
A total dissapointment in all areas. The performers weren't exactly talented either. Is there anything less than a one star??? Read More...

Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds

"Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds" is the supposed sequel to 2004's original "Eating Out" film, and has characters and actors (with the exception of Ryan "Desperate Housewives" Carnes, who was replaced by Brett Chuckerman in the role of Mark), although it is actually a stand-alone story that doesn't require familiarity with the first film. The actors (especially former "America Idol" contender Jim Verranos as Kyle) seem to be more comfortable in their roles this time around, newcomer Marco Dapper (as Troy) shows significant acting ability, and there are more funny scenes than cringe-inducing ones this time around. The film is also improved by the casting of Mink Stole as Kyle's mom, Adrian Quinonez (from Here!TV's "Dante;s Cove") as one of the (not-so)ex-gays, and Michael Serrato (from Logo's "Big Gay Sketch Show") as a flamboyant art teacher. Besides the hypocrisy of many in the ex-gay movement, the story also tries to teach lessons on parental acceptance and trust in a relationship, but it really doesn't register on that level. DVD includes "making of" featurette and director commentary.

Don't expect great filmmaking; it's obviously a low-budget farce, and works well on that level. Based strictly on the story and direction, I'd give it only three stars, but it gets an extra star for being great fun and providing some dazzling eye candy! Read More...

Socket


Tired of AIDS, coming of age, that first relationship, and campy fabulousness being the only subjects of queer cinema? Ready for a gay film where the sexual orientation of the characters is treated in a matter-of-fact manner and secondary to the actual storytelling? Do you like good ole fashioned sci-fi/horror genre entertainment? Then Socket is a movie you'll want to check out.

I managed to catch this at the LA G&L film festival last year, and I have to say it was a breath of fresh year. I'm gay, but I'm also a true blue geek who loves good sci-fi and horror movies. And let's face it, it's not like anyone is trampling over themselves to make movies for gay geeks. So to discover Socket, with it's quirky premise, solid writing, and great performances, that just also happened to have some super steamy sex scenes thrown in, was truly a nice surprise. I'm glad to see that the film secured a distributor so that more people will be able to see it - and I hope that it's a big success so that more movies like it will get made in the future.

Nine Lives

This film takes us into the lives of nine people and shows how their lives are interrelated. The characters talk to the camera a lot which can be irritating but in this film works fairly well. Most of the characters spend time relating their darker sides to us. So far, so good, right? The problem is that most of these people are not people I would go to coffee with let alone desire to know. I just didn't care about the characters. They're all whiny, negative, out-of-control addicts. They keep making excuse after excuse for their behavior and blaming others for their lot in life. At the risk of sounding like a Fox News Channel pundit - can we get a little personal responsibility here? And with a wafer-thin plot there's not much else to recommend this movie. Not every movie has to end Happily Ever After but this movie simply spews ugliness, negativity, darkness and ultimately boredom. Two stars for decent production values, originality and acting. Still, I'd never watch it again. Read More...

The Lair: Complete First Season


The Lair is a private gay club run by vampires, which use the club as a source for attractive young men to feed from. Thom (David Moretti), a local journalist in the small island town begins digging into the anonymous bodies turning up drained of blood, endangering his boyfriend and coming to the attention of the head vampire, Damian (Peter Stickles), who sees Thom as the reincarnation of his own dead lover. The Lair is an original series, from US specialty channel Here! TV with a first season of six 30-minute episodes. With similarities to Here! TV's "Dante's Cove" focusing on hot guys and the occult, "The Lair" is pure fantasy escapism and will definitely do more than merely entertain it's target audience! All World's Video fans will be pleased to see Brad Benton (a.k.a. Dylan Vox) in the role of Colin, as well as hunky Colton Ford as Sheriff Trout. Fans of "Dante's Cove" are encouraged to join me as I'll be pleased to add this guilty pleasure to my "Dante's Cove" Season 1 and Season 2 sets, and hopefully there'll soon be a release of "The Lair: Season 2," however the final episode gives no indication of the series continuing at all. I would have preferred "The Lair" to have been 1 hour episodes with more quality time and character developement spent on this creative show. It could've been as good as "Dante's Cove" if not even better! Still, Hot Stuff! Read More...

Three


This DVD is an anomoly in so many ways that it may be worthy of attention from folks who would be interested in more than its softcore porn-y aspects.

While from a production standpoint, this DVD belongs to the family of British-originated (or British-market targeted) erotica, meaning that there are significant restrictions on what can be shown on-screen (i.e., no penetration, etc.), a fact that cute blonde model Kris alludes to during a scene featuring him in the shower.

However, this particular video is more than the watered-down "Bel Ami" video or "naked sports" fare that one traditionally expects due to its unusual genesis. This DVD is in fact an extension on the hugely popular "coffe table" book of photographs of the same name ("Three") by Howard Roffman. The original book of photographs purportedly documents moments in the life of an all-male "permanent menage a trois," in a fashion that largely idealizes the relationship among the participants. Both the book and the video therefore trade not only on the attractiveness of the stars, but also on the voyeuristic tendencies that makes "reality TV" so intruiging to viewers.

Unlike most of the DVDs in this genre that present fictional or highly fictionalized plots, "Three" the DVD is a modestly insightful documentary, connecting the dots for viewers (somewhat predictably, alas) and shedding additional light on the nature of the relationship shared by the film's subjects that was first presented in the book.

Roffman himself becomes a fourth chracter in this drama, acting as the cameraman and interviewer. Unlike most documentarians, Roffman is not an uninvolved third party; indeed, the origin of the relationship being documented is credited to the photographer, who actually introduced the three guys to each other.

One More Time : An Erotic Love Story for the New Millennium


Seven of Britain's top hunks are featured in a torrid male menage-a-trois involving the interactions of friends and lovers Mike, Damon and Hugh. Filled with scorching sensuality, this tale will dazzle Anglophiles and hot-to-trot actor watchers. 80 min. Read More...

Guys Gone Wild: All-American Jock

Horrible video. What is with the boys today with the shaving of all pubic hair? It's so nasty. These guys aren't sexy, intelligent or interesting. What should be entertaining is just pure disappointment. Read More..

Ultimate Pleasures - An Erotic Exploration of the Art of Tantra

I was really hoping that this video would teach me more about tantric sex, but i was sorely disappointed. There is a lot of hand action, and many of the scenes go on for far too long with no education. About the only thing this is good for is to watch two men, one jerking the other. Read More...

Amnesia: The James Brighton Enigma

A young American man wakes up naked in a Montreal parking lot, with no memory of what who he is or how he got there. All he remembers about himself is that he is gay. So begins "Amnesia: The James Brighton Enigma" (Canadian 2005), a fictional story based on real life events.

The first thing that the young man eventually remembers is what he believes his name to be: James Brighton. He remembers other isolated things, such as some music he likes, expresses a familiarity with television broadcasting equipment, and easily picked up French as a second language when sent to a class. But he still claims not to remember where he is from, or how he got to that parking lot in Montreal. He is diagnosed with a rare type of amnesia, likely associated with a severe mental or emotional shock of some kind, but all therapies fail in trying to find out more. He turns for help to a staffer from the local gay helpline, as well as a doctoral student who has taken an interest in his case. He appears on a tabloid TV show broadcast throughout the United States, hoping that will provide leads as to who he really might be. When some calls come in, they suggest that James isn't who he claims to be at all, and perhaps faked his amnesia in order to force a new start away from legal problems in the US. What is likely his real life comes back to him gradually, in flashbacks, but we are never quite sure if that is the truth either.

An interesting approach to an amnesia story, with kind of a Lifetime / Movie of the Week vibe, though the acting is a bit better than that genre. The writer puts an interesting hook on the old "I am so much more than just a gay man"-tirade by introducing us to someone who doesn't know anything about himself *except* that he is a gay man, and raising related issues of how important identity is to one's wellbeing.

The Trip


The film, "The Trip", is a wonderfully told love story with a sense of humor, that just about anyone who has ever been in love can relate to. The story itself is fairly basic; the struggle with coming to terms with ones sexuality, first love, and how life can change us. However, it is how the story is presented with a balance of diverse characters, entertaining dialogue and timeless themes of love and emotion that make the film extremely entertaining. The characters are well written for their roles in the story, nicely developed and represented. Gay or straight, just about everyone can relate to this film on one level or another. The witty dialogue keeps the films' pace brisk and fun to follow. But, the gem of this film is its comedic presentation of the period in which the story takes place (70's and 80's). From the clothes to the hairstyles, the film gives us a hilarious reminder of the way we were. Everything about this film is just the way it should be; an intriguing story woven together with outstanding acting and masterful direction. Jill ST. John, who plays "Mary" has never been better. She plays a great character and it's obvious she's having a good time. This film will be a part of my DVD library for years to come and I anxiously await Miles Swain's next film! Read More...

Dante's Cove - Season 3

I absolutly loved this season!! I admit i was a bit apprehensive when i discovered Van (Nadine Heiman) wasnt going to be in this season after her crucial role in season 2 and actually the whole series, but with the addition of the newest cast members, this season ranks as the best yet in my opinion. I was extremely pleased that Michelle Wolf (Britt) was a main cast member this season. She is awsome!! I also really enjoyed Jill Bennett taking over the role of Michelle, not that i didnt like Erin Cummings, it was the fact Jill brought a more deeper, even darker dimension to the character. I also was extremely pleased Thea Gill (Diana) returned. She takes on a greater role this season, very very well done. Despite Van not returning, the writers did come up with a clever way to explain her absence while still keeping the season opener continuing from the end of the second season. So i would definatly say that fans wont be disappointed, this season is even more sexier and darker than the two previous seasons with many surprising twists and turns leading up to a stunning finale. I was on the edge of my seat the entire season!!! Read More....
