How to order

Director Leo Botelho turns out lustier, more spirited work than some of his peers in the Brazilian porn industry, but he doesn't always know how to whip a scene into shape. His lookalike models and rote set-ups can leave his audience limp. In Lessons in Lust, Botelho presents three twosomes, a solo, a threesome, and a superfluous one-on-one bonus loop. The nine-man cast (only eight of whom receive credit) is generally handsome and in decent physical shape, with burnt-caramel complexions and, in all but one instance, uncircumcised cocks. Much of the sex is repetitive and unexceptional; dicey lighting sometimes leaves the main event in the dark. But eloquently steamy passages keep popping up.

n the opening segment, a pantless young man in a wicker lawn chair initiates an anal-emphatic encounter with a shirtless landscaper. In the second, a man with a backpack arrives at a swimming pool where a second man is sunbathing, and the pair moves quickly into so-so sex. In the third, the action reaches its lowest ebb when a collegiate type in an orange Speedo climbs a palm tree, picks a coconut, climbs down again, and masturbates. The action peaks at the end of the fourth scene with a double oral cumshot followed by a sloppy, spooge-smeared three-way kiss. This vignette would have made an effective finish, but a dull fifth episode chugs along in its wake.
