At first glance, I thought the title, "Men in Love," was lousy, a rare lack of creativity for Lucas Entertainment. But then I watched the movie and it turns out the title doesn't even begin to do justice to the scenes. The mood here is actually love, not action or dark sexuality, not even nimble lust. This cast list doesn't look like a throbbing sensual pack as almost all of these guys are known for big warring scenes, but give them Ibiza, nature and each other and they make magic, true porn magic. Rarely have I found myself so transported into the tender and sweet side of pornography as with "Men in Love."

In the world of Lucas Entertainment, there are few stars as bright and exciting as the remarkable Jonathan Agassi, who gives the performance of a lifetime here, and that's saying a huge whopping lot! There is nothing he won't do, nothing he won't try, and he's usually a balls-to-the-wall performer, but he's asked to play a love scene here, an interesting choice. The colorfully tattooed Jonathan has Isaac Jones as a playmate. Jonathan owns the start of the scene, alternating between kissing Isaac with singular intensity and licking other parts of Isaac's body. "I can do that forever," Jonathan says before so much as a cock has popped out of underwear, and it's completely believable. And he doesn't stop there. When he gets Isaac naked, he does not immediately go for a blowjob (though Isaac keeps trying to push him into it). He sniffs Isaac's underwear, he goes back to kissing and licking. He really understands the throb of the scene and controls it with authority. Not to worry, the scene isn't going to be that simple. Jonathan goes to suck Isaac's uncut cock, and though he could tear off into a fury of deep-throating better than just about anyone, he doesn't. He keeps it, well, loving. He'll take a lick, then he'll rub it or move is body around. This side of Jonathan Agassi is superb. As for his costar, the estimable Mr. Jones cannot help but be caught up in Jonathan, so he's game to suck and rim him, but he's not as cued into the sensuality of the episode as Jonathan, who even takes a moment as small as the two of them shifting their bodies to lick Isaac's finger. With an invitation to "come inside me, baby," meaning nothing more than enter me, Jonathan offers Isaac his butt of dreams. Even with Isaac topping, Jonathan is still in charge, even from the way he holds his body to the way he remembers the scene is about sensuality. Isaac rides Jonathan, but notice again that the scene is not about hardcore wowing. The camera isn't focused on Jonathan pushing up into Isaac so much as it is on their faces and bodies. To remind us that he's not a powerhouse for nothing, Jonathan does fuck Isaac from behind with some agile excitement, but always kissing, licking and touching his partner. Back and forth they flip until Jonathan has a wild spray all over his torso, slurps it all up and than takes a facial and chest shot from Isaac.

From the leafy glade of the first scene, we head off to a huge cliff overlooking the ocean where two porn gods are cuddled under a canopy. Damien Crosse, ageless, cut as hell and sublimely handsome, is not a performer given to smiles, but he's grinning broadly paired with bearded Will Helm. An immediate draw into the scene here is the soundtrack. Not music, thankfully, but the sound of kissing with waves behind it. It's so romantic! The sounds continue through Damien nuzzling Will's neck and then doing the same all over his legs. Damien finally sucks Will, but not out of necessity. He doesn't even remove his underwear at first, it's all about pushing the romance, and Damien does it with a mouth, a hand, piercing eyes that never leave Will and more of that chiming kissing. Watch Will's abs as Damien tends to him. He's so keyed into anticipating Damien's next move that he almost forgets to breathe. Will makes sure to give Damien a loving blowjob in return, though he's less able to master the heaving deep-throat that Damien made seem so easy and placid. A 69 turns out to be perfect for these guys. Will can continue those sounds I love so much by using his mouth on Damien's asshole and Damien can go back to dazzling Will with on the latter's cock. The energy of these luscious men is so obvious, even the glistening waves behind them can't compete. Will gets a chance to rim Damien with Damien cooing in such honest delight. He then stays back there to fuck Damien, adopting at first, a tiny thrusting motion that matches the mood so far. One can fuck with the full length of one's cock and still be sweet about it, as Will proves wonderfully. To hear Damien whisper "I love you," over and over actually seems real as he wrapped in Will's arms, taking Will's cock. The whispering is even more intense when Will fucks Damien missionary. Like in the first scene, the attention is on the guys as a whole, not just what's going on in the ass. Mr. Pam's camera knows this and is always in the right place, never missing. When Damien cums, he looks torn between finishing himself off or continuing. Luckily, after he cums, Will keeps going, so there is more kissing to enjoy as Will works to completion, and with an unbelievable blast. Damien rubs Will's dick all over his face and then they end with what has worked best the whole time: the lip-smacking kissing.

Someone reached into my brain to set the third scene. How many times have I fantasized about candles, a bathtub and Rafael Carreras? If I didn't think Léo Hélios was so damn adorable, I would hate him for living my dream! In the large tub with soft lighting, Rafael is so hard that his cock is reaching up halfway to his face and Léo pounces on it. Romance is defined differently here. It's not the glorious adoration Jonathan used or the beguiling kissing Damien and Will had, but rather, at least at the beginning, the pleasure Léo wants Rafael to feel. Rafael closes his eyes and gyrates softly to Léo's blowjob, now and then dripping water on Léo's head to show his appreciation. Léo gives Rafael's enormous cock a terrific sucking, half the dick underwater, which makes Léo both talented and fearless. When Rafael collects Léo in his arms and hoists him up into a standing position so he can suck Leo, their bodies reflecting the light, the scene actually has its pivotal moment. Rafael then sucks Leo, and with an intensity he rarely gives to his oral work. He's showy here with his deep-throat, but he and Leo's hands are clasped and Léo sucks Rafael's fingers, so the mood is never broken. Rafael tops himself when he rims Léo, a tongue bathing, putting his face between Leo's face like he's found the most comfortable place to rest his head. Léo is the fortunate recipient of a Rafael Carreras fuck. Léo actually backs himself up on Rafael as Rafael smoothly thrusts into him, the guys creating a rhythm that can go from gentle to pulsating with the most important outcome being their increased heavy breathing and overpowering want for each other. More than any of the movie's other tops, Rafael goes for a ripping hardcore feel, but not selfishly and not without Léo being his total equal. Managing a riding position in a slippery bathtub is a thrilling achievement here. Rafael wants Léo again from behind until depositing a shot up Leo's back. They end wrapped up in each other, in the tub. It may not be me there in that tub, but I can't imagine this scene done any better than the way Rafael and Léo handle it.

Back outside on the cliffs, Ben Brown and Scott Carter have set up a little mattress. Both are fuzzy and muscular. Ben gets the idea from the onset, rubbing not just his hands all over Scott's body, but his fingernails for the extra tingle. Ben then sits on Scott's chest so they can kiss and explore each other. As Ben is cooing to Scott that "I love your taste," they are dry humping with a promise of so much more to come. I think both low and high tide come and go before Ben gets busy sucking Scott's cock and balls, even going down to his toes to make sure there isn't an inch of Scott that goes untasted. Scott then spends some time on Ben's insanely hard dick. A more cautious performer, Scott relies more on his mouth's abilities than mood, though Ben make sure the latter doesn't dim. Ben blows Scott again, never going for too long without popping up to make out. When Scott pokes his ass in Ben's direction, with the sun ever so slightly setting in the background to cast sexy shadows on the two, Ben starts his tongue licking at the base of Scott's butt and goes all the way up to his ears. Scott stays crouched so Ben can fuck him. They start by having Scott back up to Ben, who registers the pleasure on his face rather than by tearing ahead on just the fucking. Ben is in deep and with more speed than we've seen so far, and admittedly, that does break the spell a bit. Not too much, but enough to make it noticeable. They are no longer concentrating on just each other, more aware that they are performing for the camera. The fucking with Scott on his back gives Ben a chance to return to Scott's feet as he fucks Scott pumping his cock hard. Ben insists Scott cum into his hand, which he laps up and then kisses back to Scott. Then, with Scott nestled on his chest, Ben cums as well.

Two performers who are definitely not known as soft and sweet are the remarkable Jean Franko and Jessie Colter, the scene-stealing bundle of energy, his light eyes transfixing. These two are inside, hands exploring each other and kissing, Jean murmuring in Spanish and Jessie's ass so gorgeous it is the only thing capable of taking focus from the macking mates. The guys are wrapped so tight in each other's arms, but that stop them from groping at each other with a simmer more effective than the fireplace and the candles in the room. Just what they do to each other from the neck up is sensational. Long-lashed Jessie keeps his gaze on Jean's face, staring at him with almost a look of awe. Yet again in this movie, I found myself perfectly content to never see the guys removing the last vestiges of clothing if it meant they would kiss forever. However, Jean can't resist Jessie's ass, and soon his fingers are meandering down there, pushing off the underwear and very gently getting a finger inside. When Jessie goes lower to suck Jean, Jean isn't completely hard, but with one trip inside Jessie's mouth, just one gulp, Jessie gets him amazingly erect and then delights Jean with a most impressive deep throat that keeps to the mood. What makes Jessie so captivating here is his ability to keep his awesome talents intact without losing the feel, just like Jonathan and Léo and others in the movie. When he bends over and shows Jean his ass, it's not to beg for a fuck, but to welcome Jean to another part of his body. Jean takes the bait (as if Jessie's ass can be resisted?) and turns into an ideal rimjob. There is a bit of tongue thrusting, but the rest is all slowly gyrating head movements to keep Jessie enraptured, making small sounds every time Jean sweeps his tongue around the hole again. In no rush to fuck, Jean teases Jessie by sending his tongue up and down Jessie's body from his legs to his ears. Once Jean does make it inside Jessie's heavenly ass, he's far more squirrely and hard-hitting than the other tops, but always sure his mouth is on some part of Jessie's body: his mouth, his nipples, his lightly hairy stomach. At times, it seems as though Jean doesn't even want to fuck, just to adore and keep Jessie rippling in pleasure, but then he wouldn't be our beloved Jean Franko. The fucking is actually the least effective part of the scene, though the sight of Jessie's hard boner as he mounts and bounces on Jean is vintage Jessie Colter. He cums quickly on Jean's abs and then sucks Jean into filling his mouth with sperm.
