Catching Up (DVD) Precondom

Precondom.

This Hand-in-Hand release directed by Tom DeSimone is reminiscent of an era gone by. It features excellent production values and a cohesive plot (love, coming out and forgiveness), but is flawed in action, as most of the camerawork spends time on Keith Anthony's sizeable cock and little, or anyone, else.

Keith Anthony stars as a man just out of the closet and moved in with his new lover John Farrel. John demands an open relationship and they fight in a restaurant, thus beginning a series of trysts the duo explore on their road to commitment. Keith's first trick is with the waiter, Jayson MacBride. The two suck each other's foreskinned cock and share ass-work.

Next, Keith decides to explore public sex and goes to a porno theater. Here, he experiences his first three-way, with Scott Heith and redheaded Tim Christy, exploring oral sex, mutual masturbation and cum-eating. Meanwhile, on the screen, a black-and-white segment with dirty narration plays: two beefcakes (model Paul Strand and masseur Bob Perry) in jockstraps foreplay, finger-fuck and hump ass after body worshipping one another with oil. Later, Antoni answers an ad placed by a kinky man, who plays with double-headed dildos. Here, Antoni gets his pants cut open with shears and his dick sucked through a glory hole. The dirty talking man sits his ass down on a dildo and fucks his own hole before Keith joins him and they share the double-headed one.

The film ends with the lover's making up and making love on an exercise pad. "Tom DeSimone's Catching Up is a beautiful, witty, erotic piece of filmmaking that makes most other gay films look like the adventures of King Kong in heat. It is a definite must-see for all connoisseurs of pornography.", Long Island Beat. Features a mix of bearded, hairy and macho men. Entertaining and nostalgic in terms of relationships and the 1970's. Filming is good but transfer to video has washed out some of the coloring and is a bit uneven.

Starring Dave Daniels, Tim Christy, Keith Anthony, Paul Strand, Scott Heith, John Farrel and Bob Perry.
