Just once, I would love to watch the audition process director Alexander has when he casts his Brazilian epics. Good looks and talent aren't enough, so I want to see the part when he pulls out his yardstick (not his ruler) and measures the cock sizes on these incredibly well-hung men. Of course, big dicks are only a way to pull a viewer into a scene. Alexander then delivers on the promises of those peckers by rattling off five resplendent scenes here, filmed exquisitely and performed with gusto by his cast. He has plenty of camera tricks ready, but when those above-mentioned dicks slide down mouths and, even more stunningly, into asses, it's porn perfect.

The first shots of the picture are of the crowded beaches or Rio. Beautiful people, men and women, abound, but the camera follows two guys. The first is cute lean Pero Coresma and the other is the beefier darker-skinned Antonio de Castro, with a great smile. It's hot enough that they can swim at Pero's penthouse, where there is a pool and where they can be naked. As they are kissing, director Alexander unleashes his most interesting trick of this film, underwater filming. Both boys are outrageously hung, as are all the men here, and it isn't the water playing size tricks. Under the water, Pero does a mock ride on Antonio that sets the tone and then Antonio jumps out of the water to be blown. Pero would need another three people to be able to totally swallow Antonio, but he sucks with such excitement, going from Antonio's feet and back again, that it's a superb blowjob. He even takes his act underwater, where he excels without being able to breathe! Pero invites Antonio to his "special room," where there is a big bed waiting for their continuation. He continues his fearless blowjob and, after much teasing, sits himself on Antonio's cock. The big dick has now found a place where it can fit just perfectly. With Antonio slamming upwards into him, it has to fit. Pero is then done missionary by a rather punishing Antonio, splitting the littler guy wide. Pero cums still being fucked and then Antonio slashes a cum-shot across Pero's face and chest.

In the dungeon-esque room with a bright fanciful painting, Antonio de Capos, sporting some ink and a nipple tattoo, is being worshipped by Samuel Jacques, a wavy-haired brunet (in a dream sequence courtesy of slumbering Antonio de Castro). Both are very youthful and so glamorous looking. Antonio purses his succulent lips as Samuel licks up and down his legs, teasing before unleashing Antonio's monster thick cock from its bikini brief confines. With total authority, wispy Samuel gorges himself on it, puffing out his cheeks to take nearly the entire length of this scary piece. Samuel's dick is, unbelievably, even bigger, but Antonio does just fine with a probing mouth and lapping tongue when he sucks it. Samuel's untanned hide looks made for fucking, and Antonio gets things ready with a light rimjob at the hairy hole. Samuel's long-lashed eyes go all lusty when Antonio fits his cock into the tiny butt. It takes some effort to get it in there, but the time spent stretching the hole is worth it. Soon enough, Antonio is completely buried and able to push at his bottom with nice speed. It remains a tight fit, which is perhaps why Antonio cums so quickly. However, Samuel hasn't finished, and his meaty cock is soon parked in Antonio's ass. Samuel stretching the tight hole to the limit and doing it with friendly slow persuasiveness before getting all the way inside. Samuel's shot is a creamy load right placed right next to Antonio's balls.

Pero's pool isn't just his in Antonio's next dream. In the third scene, there are two amazing studs gyrating by it. The first is Castel Lorenzo, sporting a square haircut and abs that are too countless to number. Next to him is the super-elegant hottie Gomez Cabral, a man who personifies the word "smoldering." The sexy dancing has chiseled tanned Joam das Neves all hot and hard. The way they contort their bodies is as liquid and hypnotizing as the waterfall leading into the pool. With the underwater camera capturing Joam's ass, he sidles over to the others (swaying, I should add to "Every Breath You Take") and pulls himself up as far as he can go to worship their toes. Once everyone is in the pool, Joam is in the middle of a sandwich that is as beautiful in the hazy water as it is above it. Joam has been dying for cock, so he sprints underneath to blow Gomez while Castel goes even lower and licks at Joam's ass. Joam is able to go a long time under water, but with a cock like Gomez's to suck, the inspiration for his sacrifice is clear. The man can even take both cocks in his mouth together underwater! The hardworking Joam gets busy on Gomez's cock solo, navigating all of the tricky veins, and then takes them both into the dungeon where he further satisfies the studs. Castel spends more time at his ass. His rimming wetness paves the way for Gomez's fuck of Joam, a take-no-prisoners thrustfest that is very smooth. Joam is obviously a pro and Gomez benefits, with the bottom sucking rock-solid Castel while he gets plowed. Gomez achieves a wonderful rhythm fucking Joam, something close to what he was doing when he was grinding around dancing. Castel, sporting the biggest cock of the scene, gets Joam on his back. In he goes slowly, and then BAM, he's off like a shot pounding away hard and fast at Joam, slapping the ass for extra emphasis. The tops get to pop right on their bottom's neck and face, beautiful leis of thanks for his devotion.

Two dreams down, with his bottom still wrapped in his arms, Antonio isn't done fantasizing of pools and dungeons, not to mention the men that inhabit them. Appearing next are Alexander regular Antonio Jacques and insanely adorable Rafael Lucio, Jr. Rafael's dreamy eyes lead him down Antonio's hairy chest, nearer and nearer to the bulge in the tight trunks. Antonio's cockhead is massive, but it slips down Rafael's throat with ease, and a few inches follow suit. The very hard cock points straight up, but Rafael chomps down to gobble it. His own cock, with a frightful (and very hot) curve near the head, is just as hard, and his ass screams out for instant fucking. Big-lipped Antonio waits until Rafael has sates himself on cock orally before giving that ass what it wants. Something about Rafael's butt told me it was no novice at bottoming, and when Antonio is able to get his entire dick inside in one thrust, I knew it to be true. This ease gives Antonio the opportunity to fuck Rafael with strength, the hot sounds of their crashing bodies left in. Rafael gets to show off by riding Antonio, which he does with superb glee and his dick so solid without even being touched. Once he does grab it, his cum-shot is almost instantaneous. Antonio then pulls out and creams right on Rafael's magical butt hole.

The final dream is a humdinger (even more so than the others). Muscle abounds as we get back to the pool. There, two giant studs hold court. The first is Brazilian sex machine Ramon Mendez, a must for any Rio-based epic. The other is Denis Mello, equally as muscular, but not as toned. Splashing around in the pool waiting for these guys to be ready for him is Darrien Leon, a gorgeous youth with a noticeable shoulder tattoo (among others) and lips made for sucking and a sensual attitude to back them up. Darrien can't decide which to take first as he stares at them, but Ramon settles it by jumping in, bringing his dark horse-sized downward pointing cock to Darrien. There is kissing and teasing, but when Denis jumps in as well, the chlorinated carnival begins. Darrien starts by sucking Denis underwater, a good choice since Denis' cock is manageable. He then moves on to Ramon's, which is a jaw-spreader. Even underwater, Darrien's desire is evident. He sucks both wonderfully and then he is positioned so that the one not being blown gets to eat his delicious butt under the water. Darrien never gets lazy. Every trip up to breathe comes with intense nipple delighting by him. In the dungeon, Darrien gets to play without water in the way. His sucking remains ultra-devoted. With great care, Darrien lowers himself on Ramon's cock and rides about half of it. That's more than plenty and he does it passionately. With time, Darrien becomes an expert at navigating Ramon and goes down further and faster. Denis has his chance to fuck Darrien, and it's a walk in the park after Ramon's trip up the asshole. However, Darrien does keep that cock in his mouth as he's being speedily fucked by Denis. All three guys make a splashy mess on Darrien's torso.

Of all the Brazilian directors, I think Alexander does the most to promote tourism. My first reaction at the end of every scene here was to check the Expedia for deals to Rio. Imagine being on the same beach as one of these men! Or two of them! Or, mercy me, all 12!
