High Desert (DVD) Dean Phoenix

The day that "High Desert" was filmed, the two most beautiful sights in the Yucca Valley were the collective flowering cacti and Dean Phoenix -- a truly handsome porn star.

The action starts when Dean and Jack Ryan make their way back to a huge tent where they have built camp. The first close-up we see is Dean's wedding ring, which sets the mood here: ultra-romantic. There is a lot of sexy kissing, showing off Dean's face to maximum advantage. Jack takes a while to get to his mid-Dean worship, in very tight shots, where he swallows the entire piece -- easy as pie. Also working to help this scene sizzle is the fact that there is only serene music, no grunting, which would have been counterproductive to the mood. The direction scores big when Dean goes down to blow, showing the action from behind Jack's ass, then far away, everywhere but where it counts, building suspense. The fuck is right in line with everything else -- so often romantic scenes lose their flavor when the fuck turns into some hard pounding, but this anal action is cautious and heated, shot as lovingly from behind (showing us the awesome clenching of Dean's ass as he thrusts), and even better from in front. Jack takes a while to gush at the end, and Dean follows with a nice shot, but this doesn't alter the fact that you understand these two men to be in heated passion in the heated desert.

Since there is no plot here, we have only the tones of the scenes to guide us, and the music setting the next scenes points to something a little peppier. This scene was filmed totally on the back of a flatbed truck. The models, Jeremy Tucker, Marc Anthony and Troy Michaels. There is a lot of foreplay before Troy gets down to business on Jeremy's dick. Let it be said that Jeremy's body has never looked better. Troy is lively on both Jeremy and Marc, the latter seeming to be having a truly swell time. Marc switches into Troy's position as Jeremy and Troy swap spit. The three trade sucks before Troy speeds off to wet Marc's ass in a very fine rimjob. As the anal action gets started, only two of the models ever seem to be involved. Both Marc and Jeremy take their turns with Troy, Jeremy providing a fantastic fuck, as always. Jeremy also ends up with the biggest spray, all over Troy's face and neck.

After some additional shots of the stunning desert, we encounter Marc cavorting with Dylan Reece, still one of porn's absolutely most adorable performers. Dylan Reece is in fine form here -- he gulps down Marc's dick with the natural ease reserved for someone slurping water on a hot day. Marc takes a little turn at Dylan, but anyone competing with Dylan in a sucking contest is asking for trouble, so Dylan finishes the oral section under a hanging rock. Dylan ends up face-against-stone for his anal interlude, looking as good being invaded from behind as he did having his throat investigated up front. Dylan, as you know, a world-class bottom, takes over the scene by alighting on Marc's cock to bob up and down. I guess the rocks and shrubs don't mind blobs of cum landing all over them, it's the only moisture they are likely to see for a while.

The next scene returns to us Dean, Troy, Dylan and Jack, adding Nick Young to the mix. It's an all-oral scene, and Dean is the centerpiece. He and Troy spend their time sitting on a large stone enjoying each other. They lick down each other's chests and all over each other's bodies, always darting back to warm kissing. The finger sucking between these two is every bit as hot as Troy stuffing his face lovingly in Dean's ass. Dean also inhales Troy's dick, causing his blond friend to writhe in deserved delight. Dean spews on Troy as Troy literally beats it on a rock to cum. Dean sports the wedding ring, but if he cheats on his husband with this much grace, who are we to complain?

Meanwhile, a few feet away, Dylan, Jack and Nick share a picture-perfect trio. All seem very into each other, Dylan spending time on his knees teasing us by licking around dangerously close to the cocks hanging above him. There is a lot of sexy kissing from these three and they dry-hump each other to climax. Though the angelic music reminded me of a massage I once had, it kept the mood of desert eroticism in full burst. This scene returns us to the sizzling sexiness that worked so well for the first scene.

Nick then arrives at a trailer, peeps in a window, and is immediately accosted by Austin Masters in a short scene. There is something of a rape scenario going on here. The music here takes back seat to the grunts and groans we haven't heard yet as Nick is forced to take in Austin, both orally and anally. The best shots here are of Nick really diving into Austin's hairy ass, there's a lot of know-how there. The fucking is brief, before Nick cums for us. Austin is then dragged inside his trailer by a drag queen named Betty Grub.

With a cast like this, "High Desert" is a winner. And yes, Dean Phoenix and Dylan Reece steal the show -- even from the sumptuous desert locale!

The DVD also includes a gallery of each model (glamour and hardcore), easy-to-navigate chaptering and previews of other Sports & Recreation titles.
