Playing to Win poster
8.7

A jaunty, tongue-deeply-in-cheek celebration of a gay version of The American Dream--the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (translate: sex). Playing To Win is about guys on the rise--a upwardly mobile crowd who seem to be up, up, up all of the time. Our tale follows the adventures of two good buddies--Steve Sax, a very rising young entrepreneur who has almost everything--money, looks, a body to die for and a cock that could kill, and Pagan Prince, a television sports reporter who personifies the idea of minimum effort for maximum effect.

Somebody Is Watching poster
8.0

As one might imagine, Somebody is Watching is about voyeurism, that urge that lurks in all of us to watch—maybe even get off on—others while they are having sex—unknown to them yet part of their activity—lost in the intensity of their scene as well your own—having it all heightened by it being forbidden. The voyeur is at once attractive and repulsive. Repulsive because the intensity of the need pushes him into obsessive behavior that step over the line. Attractive because the intensity of that need gives him the courage and cunning that others lack. Or do they? Down deep isn't everyone a voyeur? Isn't that what sex videos are all about? Somebody is Watching takes a little different slant on voyeurism. What if the voyeur isn't some kinky, compulsive, defective character? What if he is really no different than you—or I—handsome, hot healthy, and horny? What is he's just the new guy next door trying—in his own special way—to get acquainted?

Almost everyone has, at one time or another, wondered what really goes on up in the lifeguard stations where those big hunks of beef who watch over our lives and our safety with such diligence go to escape the sun's hot rays and the sunbathers' even hotter gazes. And probably everyone has some kind of fantasy about it. Riptide! takes on what's happening in those secret places where surf, sun and sand collide with rising libidos, straining muscles and conflicting emotions. “Baywatch” will just have to move over. The tits and ass here are of a hot and throbbing kind.

Tailspin poster
NR

Superstar director Travis has come up with a cool, hip look at the 1950s in this, his latest opus. Tailspin features Ethan Marc as a "greaser" who wants more from life. His job at the local diner is going nowhere and he constantly has to contend with snobbish "socs" who come in to be waited on. His main attraction is for pretty boy Jeff White who seems totally disinterested. So Ethan decides on having a good old time on the griddle with one of the boys after hours, giving him a nice order of sausage. Ethan looks great and his acting has improved considerably. The flick plays out as a standard boy-loses-boy, boy-regains-boy with some notable sex scenes thrown in. Maybe too vanilla for some tastes, the photography, score and set design contribute to make this a keeper.

Blue Streak poster
NR

Great-looking men and hot sex comprise this series of five short films from director John Travis. This collector's item is heavy on long, slo-mo cumshots and jockstrap play. "Hot Day in L.A." gathers three youthful types for a round of rimming, sucking and finger-fucking that ends in very large loads. "Takes What He Wants" presents a pair of camping buddies in a trailer who can't resist their horniness any longer. Lots of anal emphasis in this vignette, with finger-fucking, rimming, and endlessly pounding ass-fucking. In "High on the Hill", a guy strokes off to pin-up photos on a garage wall. His slo-mo, voluminous, shuddering orgasm is well worth the wait. "Any Way You Like It" pairs two large-tooled men for dueling strip teases. The guys jack their dicks while watching each other, then they share poppers and start shoving tongues up holes. "Blue Streak" presents two grease monkeys having sex in and out of a van. Lots of ass-play and tongue-probing, followed by full facial loads.
