As a pair of lovers who set their friend up with a hot hustler to help him get over his (lack of) hump, Franco Santoro and Jake Havoc get my vote as hosts of the year. In fact, Martha Stewart could learn a thing or two about gay hospitality from this couple.
The sex scenes, told in tried and true flashback style, revolve around a game of cards between friends. In the first of these, dark and adorable Brad Slater makes a fortuitous mistake when he knocks on hunky Jason Ridge's motel room door. Jason opens the door wearing a towel slung low on his hips, and when Brad seems more interested in being with Jason than finding his original destination, the scene takes off. Jason's butch look here is very fetching, especially his beefy build and buzz-cut hair, and he contrasts very nicely onscreen with Brad's lean mean body. In the scene, Jason takes total control of Brad, forcing his cock down Brad's throat, exploring Brad's hairless, enticing hole with his fingers, tongue, and dick, and then of course pounding Brad's ass in many different positions before each stud blows a huge load of cum, both of which wet down Jake's hairless torso with white stuff.
In the next two scenes, lovers Franco and Jake each tells of an erotic encounter outside their relationship. Franco hooks up with tattooed, ultra-hung love stud Jacob Slater. Franco is equally well equipped, but he turns into a voracious bottom for Jacob's meat. Franco dives on Jacob's thick meat and slobbers all over it while Jacob drives it deeper into Franco's throat, and then Franco gets equal time, with Jacob tightly gripping his shaft at the base while he sucks on Franco's uncut cock. Jacob is a thrilling cocksucker; he really goes at it with all he has, and later he alternates downing Franco's cock with licking out Franco's asshole. The fucking is no less enthralling. Franco's bubble-butt looks great with Jacob's meat buried to the hilt, his pubes grinding against Franco's ass. After some very high-energy coupling, both crank out big loads of spunk.
In Jake's scene, with porn great Bobby Williams, the focus of all the attention rests squarely on Jake's cut mega-cock, an appendage that looks almost out of place (but definitely a pleasant surprise) with his smooth, boyish physique. Bobby greedily sucks on it, expertly taking most of the length and girth of Jake's dick inside his mouth. But even more impressively, Bobby opens up his ass to be speared by the club, making a lot of very hot noises as Jake pushes inside his hole. The best view in the entire production comes when Bobby impales himself on Jake and rides his cock while he jerks his own meat. In a nice turnaround, Jake then rides Bobby's cock, leading to his orgasm, which explodes from the head of his cock while Bobby is still inside him.
The finale, of course, is the hook-up between Franco and Jake's friend, Chad Farrell, and his hustler date for the night, Brad Benton. Brad, as usual, is a delight, and the kissing foreplay between the two hunks is sensational. As for Brad, he plays the shy novice at first, but he soon is delivering as expert a sexual performance as Brad, juicing up Brad's erection with so much saliva that it drips. When Chad fucks Brad, Brad delivers his patented brand of great moaning and mewling sex noises, which ratchets up the heat. As they perch on the end of the bed, Brad rides Chad's dick while his erections ways back and forth with each bounce, and at the end, he lets loose a flying torrent of cum. But of course, the real goal here was to get Chad off, and when he cums, his load sprays so fast and thick that it really does look like he's been the victim of a long dry spell, now thankfully at an end.

A DVD Review by Martin Cox
Derek Kent is a fine storyteller, and he knows how to shoot sex, because he's one of the award-winning great videographers -- also under the name of Ross Cannon -- who has worked for a long time for Studio 2000. He is very underrated, because he does know how to mix humor and pathos in his sex vids, and he has tackled many difficult issues such as incest, substance abuse and cheating in his videos in the past. This time, the theme for these sex scenes that is dealt out to Derek Kent is cards, and he does fine with a good flush. And, no, it's not a straight flush!
The best feature of this stacked deck is cast member Franco Santoro, who made a fine debut in past Studio 2000 vids. He first teams up with Jake Havoc, who's an exclusive for Studio 2000 who first showed his 10-inch beauty in Body Shots and sent viewers quivering after he shot his load! He is completely versatile, so it's no wonder that when he's paired with Santoro, they do just about everything together. Santoro is a super bottom, and when he wriggles his ass, Jake is quaking and can barely keep his hands off Santoro's fine butt cheeks. The two of them sit down to a card game, and there's no hold-'em involved. They hire an escort in order to spice things up for their very bored friend Chad Farrell, but the escort takes some time to get there. So in the meantime, the guys sit around and tell sex stories as they wait for their live sex story to get there in person.
The very sexy Jason Ridge kicks off the storytelling with a trick he did at a hotel. Brad Slater knocks at the door by mistake, and Slater's uncut erection is quite evident as it protrudes from his jeans and he sits on the edge of the bed. Sporting his military cut, Ridge takes control and feels himself on the outside of his Calvins and notices that he's got a rager that needs to be unleashed. Ridge slips his hands down Slater's pants and unzips the jeans in an easy, clean zip. Then Slater drops to his knees and grabs Ridge's rod and swallows the cock deeply in his throat as they slip into a 69 position. The camerawork adequately captures the deep-throating techniques by both the gents as they work on each other's cocks and balls. Then Ridge spins Slater around and rims him before sliding his cock inside him and pressing up against him doggie-style. While working Slater into a frenzy, Ridge then holds his captive's legs up and side-fucks him while Slater spurts all over his stomach as getting anally penetrated.
There's always a good bar scene in a Derek Kent vid, and this time, Franco tells the story about a customer who lingers after closing time. Franco slams Jacob Slater against the bar and grinds his crotch into him. They do some fully clothed frottage before they do some sloppy kissing and, eventually, Franco takes Jacob fully down his throat, gagging a bit on his way. Then Franco gets his butt massaged and played with before Slater pummels him on the bar, knocking him around like a rag doll in all sorts of positions. It looks like he likes the missionary position best, but before they both cum together, Slater pulls out and lets Franco watch him jizz with longing and loving affection.
Superhung Jake Havoc recalls an encounter with Bobby Williams. Williams can barely take him between his lips, his mouth is spread so wide. Then Williams sits on Jake's cock, slamming the rod into him with wild abandon.
Then the escort finally shows up in the form of sexy Brad Benton. Farrell isn't sure what to do with the pro, but he follows Benton's lead into a sucking session, and then Benton lowers his willing ass onto Farrell's cock and rides it like a bucking bronco. It's a video with some of the best dicks in the biz, and these cards deal a winning hand.
