Pretty Boy

After watching XL 3, (see our Review) we needed to have our confidence restored in Bel Ami, which is why we chose Pretty Boy. Seriously, the both of us enjoy Bel Ami a lot, and you get a little shaken when you find a dud among all the good stuff. Dave loves his porn, and I love watching Dave enjoy his porn.

I selected the movie, simply because I enjoy watching Josh Elliot. There is something about his look, his face, that always gives me a bit of a thrill. I am not all that enamored by porn, but watching Josh, well it seems to break through the jaded feelings I have. Now David on the other hand, he isn’t what I’d call a person taken by the stars, as he is by their penises and how many good shots he can see of it.

Pretty Boy filled that bill just nicely, for us both. I got to have a bit of a storyline in the video, and David got his fill of great cock shots, super cum shots, and some damn hot ass action, including a hot rimming scene with Josh Elliot and Matt Phillipe. It is what makes Bel Ami special, in my mind. The way they do have a loose story theme and how they manage to carry it through the entire video sequence.

This one, has to be about one of the best I have seen too. Maybe I am biased, or was just needing it to be great. Not really sure, but I know this, it sure as hell got us both rather horny, and that is what a porn video should do. Course, we have company this month, so poor David, he had to stay dressed while watching, which in itself was rather amusing to watch. Poor guy, he so desperately wanted to whip his dick out and jack off, but not in front of company.

To see him squirm, to adjust his own package while watching the expressions on Josh Elliot’s face was priceless. And that is also why I enjoy his videos. Of all the Bel Ami Boys, I find his expressions to be the most sincere. I mean when he rolls his eyes, or opens them wide to look at his partner, you see more than just a forced stare.

Is it an act?

Maybe, but I don’t know if anyone can fake that much enjoyment. A consummate actor could, perhaps, but who cares? All I know is he looks like he is really into the action, and not just sucking or fucking. The way he is constantly moving, touching, kissing, it just comes across as being like how one would act, when totally into the other guy. It doesn’t seem forced in anyway, but natural, which only enhances the action, least in my view.

Then there is the subtitled dialogue as well. I hate most of the conversations models have while having sex. It comes across as not just faked, but unreal. Yet, even with the subtitles, the words here seem totally natural. It doesn’t come across as something added out of the need to have words either. It is more like exactly what two guys would say to each other, while having intimate sex. The words are translated, but you know, it makes sense, and comes at points in the action, that well, seem natural.

There isn’t a lot of it, but when it does happen, it is great. It adds a sense of familiarity that you don’t see in many porn flicks. It draws you in too, and frankly, it makes the sex seem wilder, more natural. You just don’t think you are watching a video, but spying on the guys doing it.

There is also the set and photography that blew me away. There isn’t anything cheap about Bel Ami. The sets are well done, the locations are intermingled perfectly with the action. Sure there are some parts where you can tell it was spliced in, but only if you look real close. If you are jerking off, you aren’t going to notice. There is one close up shot of Josh’s penis, that was unbelievable. It was so close, so crisp and clear, that it was almost like you could reach out and touch it.

Which would have been nice.

This video clicked for me on all levels. It had a story, great acting actually, and I still can’t get over the way Josh Elliot looked. His eyes, his expressions, and how they were so perfectly shown, just at the right moment. There wasn’t anyone leaning back looking like they were going to fall asleep. You could see how much they were into each other, how much they enjoyed the sex too.

We rented this Video from our local store, but it is available in my Pay Per View theatre, here. You can also own this video from my DVD Store, if interested. I know our guest is also a Bel Ami fan, and he’s thinking of adding this one to his library. But whether you buy it or rent it, I think if you like twinks, enjoy lots of cum, then Pretty Boy is one you should at least think about renting.

David and I have seen a fair amount of movies, including Bel Ami, and you know, in all honesty, I have to say that so far this one is at the top of our list. It is refreshing to watch, and if our guest wasn’t here, the wife says it would have been at least a double if not triple cum shoot for him. Now that is impressive, given how the last flick barely got him wanting to jerk off.

Speaking of cum, the last scene with Josh and Matt, was unreal. The cum shots were unreal, and so clear, so crisp and damn explosive, that it was a trembler. Dave even shook a little, as Matt squirted his cum over those lovely balls of Josh Elliot, that were showing between his legs. Hell I think our guest enjoyed it too, considering how much time he spent in the bathroom right after the video ended.

Out in Africa 1

Studio : Bel Ami

Not a hit and miss studio, Bel Ami seems to consistently deliver some quality gay porn. Unlike a lot of studios, there is some story theme to many of their Videos. It isn’t what I’d really call a story plot, but more of a theme.

Such as this one. It is really a theme of several Bel Ami hunks down in Africa. Yes, they do show some of the scenery, in fact a fair amount actually. What I really enjoy though is the way they set it up, the horseplay that these actors have among themselves, whether in a market or at the zoo.

It gives you a better rapport, almost as if you are in the room with your best friend, making out and over on the other side is another of your friends, doing it. You stop to watch, enjoying the sex a bit more, because you see them laugh, see them play. It gives you a better connection, and in my opinion, makes for better sex.

This video is one of those. If you took the sex out, it would be an interesting travel movie, of some guys off on holiday in Africa. The action at the zoo is unreal, makes me want to see parts 2 and 3.

Odd I know, where it isn’t the sex or the natural beauty of the male actors that makes you want to see the next parts, but the fully dressed scenes. Okay, so we are weird, but it’s the mood that is set, and followed through in the actual sex scenes too. The carefree wild sex, the playing, all makes it all the more enjoyable.

The subtitles help, and it is nice to read what they are saying, simply because they look like they are having fun. It’s a romp, a good choice for a night when you want to just enjoy the carefree lifestyle, that twink videos should showcase. Bel Ami has done it with this one, and hey, the wife enjoyed it to the point where he jerked off three times.

Yes, we stopped the movie in spots, horsed around ourselves, had some snacks, but you know, that is what makes movie night fun. To not just be glued to the set watching, but to take a break, have a bite or two, not always food food either. Hey, what can I say, but it got me in the mood. Not bad when you consider I am an old fart.

Bel Ami 101 Men #6

I suppose one of the things people are always wondering, is how do these studios get its models, actors? What are the auditions like and all that stuff. Well Bel Ami had answered that burning question with its 101 Men series.

This video is subtitled thankfully. I mean while it is sometimes rather quick or you are distracted by the naked model wannabee, it helps to know what they are laughing at.

There is no plot and I suppose the theme is simply all these hot young European males coming to audition to becoming Bel Ami Boys. The action is very business like, for the most part.

There are questions asked and answered, though nothing you could really sink your teeth into. Still it is nice to hear them speak, to see them smile. Not all scenes do it either, which is okay as it does break up the routine.

While it is about sex, you do get a glimpse inside. I mean you can see the nervousness at times, the hesitation even. The directions given help point that out as well.

Typical Bel Ami production too. The camera angles and close ups are good, varied and you don’t get bored. The cum shots aren’t always that good, but that is also partially due to the models themselves. Still they are considerably better than many of the North American stuff out there.

It can be tedious as well. I mean this is one reason why I prefer movies that have themes at least. Plot now and then would be nice too, though it seems that’s a rarity. Bel Ami tries to break it up with slight alterations of the sets or color schemes. They also try for slight variations in the action or how we get to see it.

One of the reasons for watching these type of Videos is to see the current crop of Bel Ami Boys before they were selected. There is some interesting differences from then to now. Course the other reason is to simply get off, without the needed build up.

In all honesty, that is exactly what this video is. There really isn’t much of a build up, they stand up, strip and show off their attributes and then ejaculate. While that is a standard formula in porn, somehow Bel Ami makes it all seem just that much more classy, that much more entertaining.

I won’t say I was moved to strip and get it on with the wife, but I will say I did appreciate seeing many of the young males that were showcased. Made me wonder why some weren’t picked, and others were. It did get me curious but frankly it was a long video that did have its appeal wane towards the end.

I mean just how many long hard cocks can you stare at? This is a video that I would recommend being watched over time. I don’t think you get a good impact from just sitting down and watching the entire video. Might be more entertaining, and more arousing if you watched parts of it at different times.
