Classic Porn: Laguna Adventure

January 31, 2011

If you like surfer boys and classic porn, then we’ve got a real treat for you this Monday morning! “Laguna Adventure” is from 1989 and follows the action as surfer dude Lee Hunter reminisces about a spring break when he and his buddies caught killer waves and plenty of ass.

Lee is the real star here. For a brief, shining moment in the late ’80s, this extremely cute blond with a massive cock was doing porn for YMAC (Young Male Adult Company) and then he dropped out of the industry. “Laguna Adventure” would be a must-see for this versatile surfer dude alone, but there are plenty of other talents to appreciate.

TJ is Lee’s friend whom he’s invited to spend spring break with him. As soon as they shut the door, Lee and TJ start going at each other, kissing as they disrobe and then gobbling cock. There’s no anal in this scene, but watching two hot young guys getting each other off with handjobs and ball sucking is hot.

Later, while working on his car, Lee attracts the notice of a slightly older stud in a leather jacket and a jockstrap under his jeans. There’s always time to pause for a shirt-ripping fuck, and maybe the cum he deposits on the hood of his blue convertible will be good for the paint job.

There’s some str8 bait action in scene three, one of the few that doesn’t feature Lee. His friend Chad stops by, needing to “cram” for a math final, but he ends up cramming with Lee’s supposedly straight friend Robby West, who has dropped in with an injured ankle that needs a massage.

Word spreads that Lee’s parents are away, so horny men descend on this gorgeous surfer dude’s beachfront house one after the other. Troy Santiago spies on Lee jerking off and gets invited in to join the fun. Lee’s friend Rodney Bottoms gets his construction worker fix with Rod Garetto thanks to the house that’s being built next door. While Troy is out getting firewood on a cool evening, Lee and Chad have their own way to keep warm. This scene, number eight, is one of the most sensual and succulent, with some great sixty-nine leading up to Lee taking Chad’s cock up his ass. It’s so good that two scenes later, Lee wants another shot at Chad and he invites Mac Marino to join the fun. The last scene is an orgy that includes all the guys from the movie. It’s the last day of vacation before Lee’s parents get back, so it’s time to go out on a high.

There are eleven scenes, most of them much shorter than modern porn scenes. You still have plenty of action to make you get off. With beautiful young men having the best vacation ever, set to an unbelievably cool ’80s alternative soundtrack, “Laguna Adventure” will make you want to book your own spring break in Southern California even if college is a distant memory.

Vintage Bareback: Underground Kink

January 17, 2011

Before there was such a saying as “Safe, sane, and consensual,” before many of today’s porn viewers were even born, there was an underground gay kink scene captured in artfully grainy 8mm footage that would look right at home alongside the films of Kenneth Anger and Derek Jarman. “Vintage Bareback: Underground Kink” collects film strips circa 1970 and makes them available on electronic media for the first time, courtesy of Lavender Lounge Studios. The silent footage is set to an instrumental soundtrack that serves to heighten the drama of the starkly sexy black and white imagery.

To see this film for the first time is to watch a time capsule of erotica being opened. In many ways, this is experimental fetish – these men were making up their acts of debauchery as they went along using homemade implements of pain. Watching these unknown men engage in hardcore, homemade BDSM is thrilling in a way that escapes a lot of modern fetish porn. Spanking, fisting, extreme penetration, gangbangs, auto-fellatio, and leather-clad cowboys engaging in CBT are all featured and even though you’ve seen those things before, they take on extra layers of sexual power in this context. These were secret thrills in a time when discovery of their kinks likely would have landed these men in a lot of trouble, which can lead to an emotionally charged viewing experience.

Vintage porn fans will find this an essential piece for their collection, because classic fetish doesn’t get much more exciting. “Vintage Bareback: Underground Kink” is available for download-to-own or as a 48-hour rental from our VOD Theater. We highly recommend putting it on at your next party or running it in the background during your next playtime for some great erotic inspiration.

Classic Porn: Snow Balling

January 10, 2011

Porn shot on film is rare in these days of inexpensive digital production, but in the pre-condom era you could occasionally find X-rated flicks shot on celluloid rather than video. One such movie is “Snow Balling,” a feature about ski-lodge sex romps that was and remains known for well-written dialogue and, most importantly, good-looking, mature studs doing wonderfully dirty things together.

After a montage of downhill skiing and some impressive jumps set to, of all things, the Beach Boys’ “I Get Around,” we see two blond, attractive lovers getting undressed after a day on the slopes. Sam (Dave Daniels) is a little put out that his boyfriend Bob (Michael Heath) was spending too much time talking to another guy. Bob says that even though they’re a couple, Sam doesn’t own him. Sam proclaims his love and gets some fireside action in return, starting with slow undressing and oral, including sensual mouth-fucking and sixty-nine. The oral lasts longer than the anal in this naturalistic, tender scene that will appeal to romantics.

Later, the two are out for a walk when they encounter the guy that got the jealousy boiling in the first place, a dark-haired, mustachioed gent named Mike (Clay Russell). They all head out for a stroll and wind up back at the cabin in a threesome. The action is hungrier here, jealousy gives way to passion, and by the end all three have kissed and made up in the best possible way.

The next day, an avalanche literally catches the trio with their pants down and they all scatter as they run for their lives. Afterward, as Sam scrambles to find the others, a skier named Phil (Kurt Williams) arrives to help. Sam finds Mike first, but then locates Bob and with the crisis over, Phil helps everyone get back to the cabin safe and sound. Only minutes later, he returns to retrieve the sunglasses he left on the table and barges in on another threeway already in progress. The three invite Phil to stay for dinner (lots of innuendo about how they all like their meat) and Mike is the one to break through Phil’s nervous reserve, setting an orgy in motion that gets so hot they never do manage to get the steaks cooked.

“Snow Balling” also holds the distinction of possibly the greatest porn soundtrack of all time, with songs by the Beach Boys, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, and Pink Floyd – some of which were brand-new songs at the time of the movie’s release. If you’re looking for snowy action to ward off the chill of autumn or at any time of year, this Bijou Pictures golden oldie directed by Nick Elliot will take you back to the days of furry, mustachioed manly men. If you like “Snow Balling,” then you’ll also want to check out “Wintertime,” featuring the same guys and the same director in a similar setting.

L.A. Tool and Die

January 3, 2011

The 1979 porno “L.A. Tool and Die” is the last of the “Working Man’s Trilogy” by legendary director Joe Gage. It’s a classic in the strongest sense of the word. The adventures began in “Kansas City Trucking Co.,” continued in “El Paso Wrecking Corp.,” and conclude in this working-class love story/road movie. Richard Locke, the only performer to appear in every movie of the trilogy, plays Hank, a blue collar worker who takes off for L.A. to find Wylie (Will Seagers), the man he just met in a bar and fell for at first sight. Wylie has a job lined up at a placed called L.A. Tool and Die and that’s all Hank knows about him, but it’s enough.

Even if you haven’t seen the first two movies, if you’re after hot fucking with enough of a story to keep it interesting, this will be very satisfying. “L.A. Tool and Die” is a product of its era, when sex was woven into a narrative and the action felt natural. The movie is also notable for a cameo from mainstream actor/writer Michael Kearns, in the orgy in scene one. He plays Jim, who’s sucking cock when Hank arrives at the orgy and ends up in a blow-bang, taking a cum bath. Kearns came out in the mid-70s, making him Hollywood’s first openly gay actor. He appeared in this, his only adult film, after he had already been in “The Waltons” and “Kentucky Fried Movie.” Kearns went on to guest star on many TV shows while building a successful theater career as an actor and playwright. He remains one of very few mainstream actors to perform explicit sex in a hardcore porno and he probably could have made a great porn star, if he hadn’t become a mainstream success.

Afterward, Hank goes to the bar where he meets Wylie. Even though Wylie seems interested in Hank, he’s not into “sport fucking” and he has to leave for L.A. Rejection leaves Hank in a mood for a fight, which he gets in the bathroom with a homophobe. The guy accuses Hank of being a cocksucker, which leads to the best line of the movie: “You’d better believe it. If there’s anything I like better than sucking cock, it’s kicking ass.” Hank proceeds to do the latter and then hits the road in pursuit of Wylie.

That night, Wylie meets a woman on the side of the road and tries to offer her a ride, which she declines. It turns out she’s not a hitchhiker. Soon, Fred (Casey Donovan) pulls up in a Cadillac and she accepts a ride. She pulls a gun on Fred, orders him into the woods, has him handcuff himself to a tree, and leaves him there. What happens next involves a minor spoiler, but it’s a great sex scene.

The road presents many opportunities for sexual adventures. For those with a thing for straight guys, next we see a man (Paul Barresi) and a woman (Becky Bitter, aka Becky Savage) pull over for a quickie in a rest area while a backpacker (Shawn Victors) spies on them. When the man tosses the condom, the backpacker retrieves it and sucks the cum out of it while jerking off over what he just saw. Later, Wylie gets a sensual blowjob through a gas station bathroom gloryhole from a cock-hungry gas station attendant, contradicting what he told Hank about not being into hookups. Next, Hank has to stop for a windstorm and ends up having a hot group suck and fuck in the back of a van stopped in front of him.

Wylie gets to L.A. Tool and Die, enters the employment office, and sees Hank waiting there. Somehow, between their pits stops, they managed to get there the same day and both find jobs. Is it meant to be? First, Hank will have to break down Wylie’s resistance. After all, everybody loves a happy ending.

Classic Porn: A Night at the Adonis

December 27, 2010

If you long for a return to the hedonism of the 1970s, then movies like this are exactly what you need. “A Night at the Adonis” takes us to the kind of “blue” movie theatre that people used to see adult movies in back before we had the ability to watch them at home. The Adonis was an infamous Times Square gay cinema in the ’70s.

This is a plot-driven movie with five major sex scenes. We go on a little tour of the place with a new employee named Joel as he gets shown around and told about the regulars and their different cruising styles. Joel got the job because of his degree in “gay business management” (specializing in steam baths and travel, mmm, wonder what the final exams were like?). There are moments of winking humor like that tossed liberally into the script.

Throughout the movie, we follow characters like gay porn icon Jack Wrangler on a night at the Adonis, with a slight detour for a suck and fuck at a hair salon. This is, of course, not the same structure that many of today’s gay pornos follow, but it’s still the kind of movie that you can put on and enjoy yourself without having to follow too much dialogue or plot.

These are mostly butch men with body hair. Thanks to the setting and the atmosphere of that era of gay life, there’s a very seedy feel to all the action that makes it that much hotter. “A Night at the Adonis” is as interesting for its historic value as it is for the fucking – this is a bygone era and although you wouldn’t necessarily want to live in those days again, there is something very nostalgic about it for anybody who was there and exotic for anyone who wasn’t. It’s a real pre-condom classic and definitely worth a look.

Classic Porn: That Boy

December 20, 2010

Standing in his ball-hugging, low-slung jeans, with shirt open to reveal chiseled abs, Helmut (gay icon Peter Berlin) looks like an erotic god. When he bends to pick up a mirror that he finds lying in the grass, he is like Narcissus gazing at his own reflection, but without the tragic ending. Helmut goes for a stroll among blooming dogwood trees and is soon joined by another man who watches him masturbate. (Mirrors and voyeurism will be recurring themes throughout the film.) All of this is going on as the opening credits of “That Boy” roll and Pachelbel’s “Canon in D” plays.

The movie begins in earnest when Helmut strolls through San Francisco’s Castro District, where men and women – dressed like the Village People and the New York Dolls – stare at his impressive body in impossibly tight white pants. They chase him down the sidewalk, but Helmut is uninterested in any of them until he happens across a blind young man waiting at a street corner. He and this beautiful boy had encountered each other before an accident took the kid’s sight from him. Perhaps finally sensing this is one person who won’t chase or harass him for his body, he befriends the blind kid and forms a strong bond with him as they walk around the city. Of course, the blind kid still remembers Helmut’s godlike beauty and has fantasies.

In every scene, the blind kid fantasizes about a different person with Helmut. First, he daydreams that the photographer who takes pictures of Helmut on the sidewalk has an erotic photo shoot in a studio with him that includes random other men; Helmut teases all of them to the point of madness, never relieving their need. Next, as they walk past a health club, a man standing outside takes us into an interracial fantasy of the world’s most sexual workout, with plenty of oral and mutual masturbation leading into some wet action in the shower with an unknown third man. In the last scene, they pass a bar and the blind kid envisions a passerby getting to fuck Helmut in a kinky, beer-pouring ass-fuck surrounded by bikers and a guy who looks like he escaped from the cast of “Hair.”

Peter Berlin, a German photographer, model, and artist, was famous for cruising in self-made clothes that left almost nothing to the imagination. He took what he learned from collaborating on his first film, “Nights in Black Leather,” and wrote, directed, produced, and starred in “That Boy.” With these films, Berlin helped bring artistic legitimacy to gay erotic imagery. You will see a lot of Peter Berlin in Helmut, as the narcissism of Berlin’s work kept us from ever getting close enough to touch him – part of the foundation for the pedestal that we all built for him.

“That Boy” is a surreal daydream of an erotic film, not entirely experimental but far from a conventional fuck flick. A rare piece of sexual art, it resembles a Kenneth Anger film as much as anything else. As one of only two full-length films that Berlin ever made, “That Boy” is definitely a piece of essential viewing that will stimulate you in ways modern porn seldom even attempts. It is a classic in the fullest sense of the word.

Classic Porn: Best Of All

November 1, 2010

What a daunting task it must have been when director Matt Sterling was asked to pick his favorite scenes from his movies. The man was behind the lens of some of the best gay porn classics of the 1980s. You’ll see some legends in this collection, aptly titled “Best of All.”

First is the alley scene from “Like a Horse.” Anybody who was around in those days or is an ’80s connoisseur will remember it well, and if you’ve never seen it you’re in for a great time. A classic leather man leaves the club and strolls down an alley, where he catches a gorgeous stranger masturbating and decides to help. Our hero squeezes the nipples of the masturbating stranger, who returns the favor by sucking and biting the leather man’s nipples. It’s incredibly hot to watch the leather man dominate the masturbator, making him suck his cock until the leather man wants a taste of cock too. A third man shows up in time to watch the submissive one rimming the leather man, which leads to an oral daisy chain. They’re all just starting to progress to anal when a fourth guy rolls up on a motorcycle and joins the fray. Soon cum is splashing and yours will be too!

The next scene comes from “Sizing Up.” After capsizing their raft, three guys get naked and one thing leads to another. The one responsible for spilling them all into the lake is the first to suck cock. He’s hesitant for a second, which is crazy because this is Mike Ramsay (aka Peter North) we’re talking about. Soon, though, the three of them are licking, sucking, and fucking their way to a wet finish. Mark sits down on one guy’s cock while the other gives him a blowjob, which is hot but soon they change positions and the cum flies. They’ll need to take another dip in the lake to cool down after this!

“Inch By Inch” was such a favorite for Matt Sterling that he couldn’t choose one scene. Instead, he picked two, and you can’t blame him. First is the famous window scene that introduced Tom Brock as a muscular hottie who teases a guy through a window that he keeps opening and closing, letting the outsider have just a touch and a taste before finally they aim their cumshots at the window itself. It’s a creative and extremely erotic use of a window. They don’t make ’em like this anymore! The subway scene with Jim Pulver and Jeff Quinn follows. Two strangers on a train fall in lust at first sight and sneak off to another subway car for an incredible, anonymous, sweaty fuck.

Cover boy Jeff Stryker, still one of the biggest names ever in porn (gay, bi, and straight) in spite of being retired for years, appears at the end of the flick in the stage door scene from “Bigger Than Life” with Jeff Quinn. JS is a gorgeous rock star who strips off his shirt during his performance of a very ’80s-tastic tune and JQ’s a lucky fan who meets him after the show. JQ is willing to give JS anything he wants, starting by sucking the cock that became the stuff of legend as soon as he whipped it out of those tight jeans. After JS cums, JQ keeps sucking, getting him hard enough to fuck him up against the wall. It’s surely one of the most unforgettable debut scenes ever, and a fitting end to this best-of compilation.
