How to order

In a scenario that could have sprung from the fevered brain of John Ashcroft, the U.S. military has launched a program of surveillance by Dispersed Imaging Lilliputian Droid Operatives (DILDOs), "an advanced, practically undetectable system of reconnaissance utilizing miniature insect droids as camera/microphones." In other words, mosquito-like robotic video cameras buzz around guys having sex and transmit images and sounds to the prurient prudes who man the controls back at headquarters. "I can't believe such things are happening on government-controlled land!" says Commander Jacob Hayes, shortly before shoving his penis into the mouth of a handy subordinate.

The concept is fun, but it's a framing device tacked onto disparate, conventionally shot porn loops of varying quality. The first sex scene, an al fresco three-way, is enervated and stagy; with models like Jeremy Tucker, Max Grande, and Jason Hawke, it should have been better. There's also an unmemorable duo for Danny Chance and Kurt Wagner, and a brief solo for sullen Marine hunk Michael Lance, whose tattoos accent his musculature like diacritical marks.

The best erotic segment is prob-

ably the second, in which luscious Alex Wilcox and small, wiry Emilio Sands get a real relationship going as they fuck by the edge of a stream. This footage, originally shot in 1999 for director Sam Dixon's Young Men on the Pleasure Trail, was actually confiscated by the LAPD after somebody (no one knows who) spotted Dixon and crew discreetly at work in Will Rogers State Park; it's seen here for the first time. Whether or not the incident gave Dixon the idea for DILDOs, this scene's history uniquely suits it for inclusion in a video built around intrusive surveillance.
