Hot House - On the Mark - Zak Spears and Tyler Scott



Hairy Adonis Zak Spears talks of becoming a building contractor who'd like to build dungeons - and his fondness for eating ass. He gets to prove it in scene 2 when he's paired up with the handsome Tyler Scott. Zak spreads Tyler's cheeks and invades his hole with his tongue, lapping away like a greedy pig. Spears bites on Scott's ass cheeks and sucks his cock from behind, then Scott flips over so Spears can swallow his prick. Then Zak lies back to have his tool worked on. With Scott lying on his back, Spears feeds his prick into the other man's open mouth.

Spears downshifts into high gear and orders Scott to fuck him from behind, barking at him "fuck me harder, little pansy!" Scott flips Spears over onto his back, then re-enters him, thrusting in and out of Zak's gorgeous, hairy hole until the cum starts to fly. Spears is the first one to come, shooting a hot sticky load onto his furry chest before Scott lets loose with a load of his own.

Genres: Compilation, Hunks, Anal, Oral, Rimming, Interracial, Group, Threeways, Pre-Condom
Video language: English

Erotikus is not entirely serious, but none the less accurate effort to document the history of the Gay movie, from it's innocent, softer-than-soft core beginning up to it's present day development. Using excerpts from eleven of its best 16mm gay erotica films ever made, plus scenes from some of the earliest underground and mail order 8mm films, the naked narrator, Fred Halsted, guides the viewer through decades of all male erotica. But Erotikus is hardly one of those dry, boring documentaries with too much talk and not enough action. Frame for frame, it contains More Sex than Any other gay film in release. By its nature it presents only the best of the best, the "creme de la creme".

J.Brian's Golden Boys (1982) - Brad Mason, Cory Adams, Sam Rallo


Release Year: 1982
Cast: Matthew, Sal Guange, Rick Sawyer, Michael Carr, Jaye Johnson, Ed Knapp, Brett Edwards, Tony Gallow, Jack Burke, Justin Cade, Brad Mason, Cory Adams, Sam Rallo
Genres: Pre-condom, classic, anal, bareback
Video language: English

Oh those California golden boys. So young and hot looking. What it must be when they all get together by the pool. What happens when they get together is all captured in this not only video of the 1970's but the historic J. Brian's Golden Boys video brought to you Bijou Classic Collection.
What's historic about this video is not that it's Gay porn of the 1970's; but that's it's the first huge Gay orgy scene ever captured on film; thus leading the way for all other producers and studios to come later to attempt to mimic the scene; and what a scene it is.
The video is really nothing overly flashy. There's no elaborate sets, no fancy costumes, not a word of dialogue; just the recordings of old radio broadcasts of 70's beach music. J. Brian just gets a bunch, and I mean more than a dozen, probably as many as two dozen, young guys together at a house pool party. All of young guys. All are probably between 18 and 25, tall, short, swimmer's build, average build, average cocks, big cocks, cut & uncut cocks, who get to the party, strip down and just hang out together. It isn't long before the guys are getting to start playing around that the cameraman has more to shoot than he has film to shot with. The boys are doing it everywhere. In couples, in multiple groups, sucking, fucking, just having a good ole' time without a care in the world. That's all there really is one massive orgy, that goes down in the history books.
Also on this video are two other shorter features. The Hide-Away Bed & Tall John - Little John. Both are simple basic suck & fuck videos; and I mean simple ! In Hide-Away bed a bearded stud brings home this young, swimmer build guy. Once the door is closed they get it going on the couch. Our young guy has been stripped and the action is heating up so, not worry the couch is the bed and the two continue with some feverish cock sucking and young guy getting his smooth tight ass fucked.
As for Tall John - Little John it jumps right into the action of this salt & pepper, tall, daddy who is sucking this young, average, smooth body boy on the bed. They start rolling about and daddy fucks the young stud smooth, little ass. They both shoot their loads and that's it, our young stud escorts his tall fucker out the front door.
As I said before, there's nothing overly elaborate about these videos in comparison today's videos. They are simply done, though with good camera angles and lighting of the action. There's no silly dialogue, just a musical track in each. There are also no condoms, as these videos are from the 1970's before safe sex was even a thought, yet alone a practice

Don't Dick With The Devil


Release Year: 1998

Cast: Cliff Trent, Zachery Scott, Jake Armstrong, Brad King, Joey Hart, Tony Dancer, Brian Hanson, Critt Davis, Sloane Winters
Genres: Anal, Oral, Cumshots, Fingering, Group, Muscules
Video language: English

Don't Dick With The Devil is quite a title for quite a video. The title certainly starts the imagination working so it might be just as well that we give you some idea of what's going on in this cynical little comedy about the darker side of the libido. All of us get carried away from time to time when we let our dicks take over the job that our brains are better qualified to do. This cautionary little tale is about three guys who make it a way of fife at the expense of everything and everyone around them. The implications aren't pretty. But the punishment certainly fits the crime.

Little Casanova


Studio: Man's Best
Cast: Bailey Cassidy, Will Weeten etc
Genres: Twinks, Oral/Anal Sex, Duet, Blowjob, Masturbation, Cumshots

This video starts out with humpy, big-dicked Will Weeten reclined on his bed listening to his headset. He notices his friend, Bailey Cassidy napping on a nearby couch. If you recall, Will fucked the daylights out of Bailey in Sperm Cocktail Vol. 2. He must have been thinking about this torrid scene because he gently pulls down the sheet to expose Bailey's lean, hairless body. Damn that half-hard cock in his wicked little briefs looks too tempting. Will must have it! He gets his hand under the briefs and works the loose skin on that chubbie before giving in to his desires and hungrily sucking the thick rod. Bailey wakes up and playfully pushes Will away. Well, he's hard now and even though he's sent Will away, he's halfway there, so he decides to jack. Great close-ups of this devilishly cute lad's wonderful thick prick. He does everything but get off, throws on some clothes and goes out into the cornfield. He starts sucking on a small corncob as his still-hard thick 8-incher bounces before us. Maybe he needs to be outdoors to reach his peak, but what a joy it is to watch him stroke that massive pole and see those bouncing balls. He finally gets off all over his totally hairless thigh. Scene 2 features two new studs getting down to some serious oral work. They both have super cocks that slide into each others hungry mouths. Condom-free fucking ensues with nut-busting orgasms and post-orgasm sucking to the max. Once again we spy Will Weeten on his bed alone. He really needs to get his nut after his near miss with Bailey. Will strokes his giant to full length and really puts that banana through the motions until he nuts on his stomach and plays with the gizz. After Bailey's outdoor JO, he must have dashed downtown for a haircut. He appears in the next scene with totally shorn locks. He's in a room with curtains on all sides. He strips down and appears to be giving us a slow and intense solo. Great close-ups of his incredible thick cock. Just before he's about to bust his own nut, 2 hands poke through the curtains and caress his cock and balls. Bailey enjoys this and then sees a cock as big as his poke thru. He lays down to suck on it briefly, then plows his huge prize deep into his anonymous partner, condom free. This really fires him up and he explodes long pearly streams of gism all over the guys asscheeks and quivering hole. Bailey's lust knows no bounds now. He felches that well-fucked hole, his own cum streaming from his face, down the entire screen. He then lays down so his anonymous partner can bust his thick gooey load on his left cheek. Wow! What a scene! In scene 5 the long-haired fucker from The Naked Truth is joined by a blonde teen as they do some set decoration. The blonde wants some of that big cock and gets his wish, sucking his friend while he1s on the ladder. They fall down to the bed and the blonde gets his cock sucked to hard and then some! Before long they are enjoying some 69 until the long-haired teen goes back over to the ladder. He assumes the position for his blonde buddy to shove his rock hard piston home deep and condom-free. The fuck is slow and passionate. They go back to the bed and pound out their yummy teenaged loads to end the video.

Finally, a Catalina Classic Feature debuts on DVD at Popular Prices - purchase this DVD and send your vote for popular pricing to Catalina Video!
Ryan Idol Sucks Off Tom Katt!
Yeah!. . . Ryan Idol's been thinking. He's been thinking about cock ... thinking it's about time he had one down his throat! He's been thinking about doing it for Catalina. He's been thinking Idol Thoughts!
Also featuring Tom Katt, the lucky recipient of equally-lucky Ryan Idol's first on-screen blowjob! Also starring favorite hunks Karl Thomas, Rob Cryston and Jon Vincent.Introducing Max Holden. No Twinks in This Video!
AVN Award Winning Director Taylor Hud takes the director's chair for Catalina Video, showing Ryan Idol, for the first time, like no one has ever seen him before.
Here is the long-awaited and highly hyped Catalina vid where "straight guy" fantasy superstar Ryan Idol finally sucks a cock. I know you're wondering, 'Is he any good?' We'll get to that later. Idol Thoughts is about a typical day in Ryan's life and the idle thoughts he has. (Remember, Ryan, an idle mind is the devil's workshop!)
After finishing his demanding day, Ryan goes home to open his mail and listen to his messages. The first is from Chuck Hunter, who left his watch at Ryan's the night before. As Ryan recalls it, we see Chuck getting his ass pounded by all Ryan can give him.
Next, Ryan reads a postcard from his friend Mitch, who's up in Big Bear. Mitch just met stud Jon Vincent. The scene that follows generates more heat than the fireplace they fuck by.
In the next scene, a letteres to Ryan by mistake. He opens it anyway (isn't that a Federal offense?). As he reads it, we get to see the action between Karl Thomas and Max Holden. Ryan opens the next package, which is underwear from an adoring fan who wants Ryan to autograph them. He obligingly does so, giving himself a thorough workout, and then squirting his sweet man-juice all over them.
Ryan receives an audition tape from two hot guys who want to be in his next video. After watching the tape, it's clear that Rob Cryston and Shawn Justin have what it takes and will go far. Sign 'em up Ryan!
Finally, our guy checks out the photo of Tom Katt that his agent sent him. What does Ryan think of this gorgeous hunk? Try to guess! Ryan's thinking about what he'd like to do with this hot man. He's thinking of doing something he's never done with a guy before. He's thinking about going down on Tom's juicy dick! And he does, and the rest is history!
Idol Thoughts is a pleaser and a teaser, since it leaves what we're all waiting for until the very end. Though it's billed as Ryan's first time munching manmeat, he really knows how to work a guy's tool. Catalina has put together a hot little video here, which will surely give you some idle thoughts of your own.
The industry's leading superstar man model Ryan Idol, and the industry leader in all male hard pounding action, get it together for the first time to bring you one of the hottest videos of 1993, Idol Thoughts.
