Young Masseurs (DVD)

A Video Review by Bo Champion [ http://www.ManNet.com ]

*** Highly Recommended ***

Here?s another from The Chicago School of Male Porn, which is the collaboration of the pioneer director of twink porn, Toby Ross, and the semi-auteur photographer Steve Jerome. The series of flicks these two have put out recently (this one also includes Josh Masters as a videographer) is distinguished by fresh young faces, hand-held cameras, and intensely erotic approaches to man-to-man sex, primarily through brilliantly framed close-ups.

?Young Masseurs? breaks no new ground in their approach, but it does elevate sexual tension and excitement to a new level in at least the first two scenes, which feature couplings between a young man (about 18-to-20) and one in his early- to late-30s. Both are quite over the top, even though none of the four gets fucked, and only three suck dick. But, the way they have sex with each other will have you re-thinking foreplay and various positions for several weeks. The other three scenes vary in excitement, but the ages of the couples are about the same (around 20), with fewer surprises.

The set-up is simple. Justin Slater, a tall, lanky, oval-faced, horse-hung twentysomething sex fiend, narrates the flick, which is about the art of sensual massage. He gets himself into the act right off the bat by relating his experience with Josh Shafer, who is apparently a professional masseur in real life -- and an extraordinarily beautiful one at that. Justin, whose Midwest, smooth-bodied, pale looks are just the opposite of the hirsute dark-eyed Josh, leans back on his bed and lets his ?older neighbor? show him how to really relax. With some baby oil and extremely strong, flexible hands and fingers, Josh goes to work on toes, feet, calves, thighs, forearms, chest, back, and, finally -- cock. Lots of work on the cock, in fact. He brings Justin?s massive meat to full, thickened erection with one of the more sensuous hand-jobs captured on screen, and, then, gently, respectfully, gets his tongue and lips into the act.

Here we see the relaxed approach of an experienced cocksucker -- Josh Shafer obviously knows how to give a massage with more than one body part. The camera angles and close-ups are breathtaking, and when he turns Justin over and makes a slow, sweet trail with his tongue and lips down his back to his pucker, the intensity melts the tape. This is filmed in a languid style, with quick -- but not jarring -- edits, so that what you get is reverence for sex more than slam-bam, thank-you-ma?am. Indeed, Justin just lays back and lets Josh worship him as he wishes until he spurts while being pumped by Josh. Grateful for the climax, Justin then leans over and licks Josh?s ballsac reverently until the older guy spurts as well. It doesn?t sound exciting on paper -- but I almost came all over the place watching.

I did, however, blow a load at the next scene -- but that could be because I truly lust after Butch Love. A younger, less bulked version of porn star Caesar, Butch is set up here as a masseur whose client, Goliath Jones, is described by narrator Justin as a ?promoter whom you might recognize from the WWF.? Uh, duh? Let?s just say that Goliath is sort of a less bulky version of The Rock - dark, crew-cut, solid build, hairy -- hot. It?s Butch, however, as antagonist, prey, and sex-toy, who steals this scene -- and the movie. While giving a very good imitation of a professional massage to the prone, naked Goliath in his hotel room, Butch says that?s it?s awfully hot, does Goliath mind if he takes off his shirt? Then, his jeans. Then, Goliath feigns apologies when Butch?s cock rubs up against his lips -- it grows instantly before your eyes, and Butch just dangles it for the older man to lick, and then suck.

And, they?re off to the races! This is a free-for-all of sexual tour-de-force of pure lust. They kiss, suck, lick, and slurp saliva over each other?s hot, naked bodies -- all the while on top of the massage table, which leads to some interesting positions. First, Goliath tosses Butch?s legs over his head, dives into his butt, and then pulls the kid up so that he?s standing on his head, back to Goliath who is still eating his ass. Butch?s beautiful hardon is waving in the air, Goliath?s is straining, and the two of them are in ecstasy. They kiss, suck, lick some more, 69, growl, and then Goliath throws Butch on his back, pulls the kid?s legs around his waist, and lifts him from the table from under his thighs -- while Butch is holding the leather necklace around Goliath?s neck and kisses him. They can?t take it any longer and Goliath throws Butch back on the table, and they cum in torrents. You might not even notice they never got around to fucking -- but you will be left with the impression that this kid, Butch Love, has lived up to his screen name, indeed, in a scene which could only be described as his ?cumming of age.? (Okay, okay, I?m in ?like? with Love.)

Next up we have two guys who met in the Navy, and became lovers after one of them cut the other?s hair on board ship. The darkly sensuous Ian Idol was the customer, and the Lanky, more intense, sandy-haired Tripp Winters the barber. Here, they repeat their tonsorial encounters from their sailor days in their new living room before Tripp seduces Ian. This is a short, nicely edited, scene between two lovers who know each other?s bodies well -- and the only massaging comes when Ian takes a few friendly gropes at Tripp?s feet, thighs and orbs -- before offering up his exceptionally pretty pucker to his boyfriend?s thick poker. Lovely lighting, lovely mood, nice cum-shots.

The next set-up is a real set-up. Two twinks on the street cruise each other. One, Kirk Kelley (a clone of Sandy Sloan), says to the other, the hot Latino Alejandro Pax, ?Aren?t you the guy who gives massages?? Well, it?s better than ?What?s your sign?? They wind up sucking and fucking back at Kirk?s place, and it?s a reasonably hot version of a scene you?ve seen 1,000 times -- pale, hot white guy gets porked by thick-dicked, uncut dark Latino. But, it has more than a few interesting added tidbits -- they both give massages, and they seem to genuinely enjoy sucking each other off. The highlight of the scene is the extended close-up of Alejandro?s cock plugging Kirk?s tight hole, with the music muted and their natural sex sounds, as well as the sounds of the sheet shifting and the condom slipping in and out, predominating. Good little sex scene between two hot little fuckers.

The last scene brings back Justin for another massage, this one from Peter Orlov, who is supposed to know what he?s doing (er, I thought the guy in the first scene was the pro). This scene bares the only real downside of the Ross-Jerome collaboration. They seem fixated on Justin, who doesn?t do much but lay back and allow Peter, who is a shaggy-haired clone of him (with less body definition), to try to eat his major man meat. Peter tries, but simply doesn?t have the esophageal capacity. There are also weird editing cuts which interject Justin in solo takes, before Peter fits him for a jumbo condom and takes the pole up his skinny ass. It?s not exactly the hottest scene on record, but by then you will have already creamed -- either of the other scenes will get you to this point in an absolute sticky mess. Enjoy.

Starring Justin Slater, Josh Shafer, Butch Love, Goliath Jones (a.k.a. Peter Meloni), Ian Idol, Tripp Winter, Kirk Kelley, Alejandro Paz and Peter Orlov.
