How to order
The title suggests another porno spoof of Desperate
Housewives, but this is a hodgepodge of footage shot between March 2004 and May 2005. There's no story, just a marketing
strategy. The desperation factor lies in the effort to sell videos by tapping into the title of a popular TV show and wringing one last drop of exploitation out of pouty blond model Sammy Case,
who has just bowed out of gay adult video. Given top billing, Case neither speaks nor directly interacts with anyone else. Depicted as a voyeur, he jerks off twice. In the final sequence, he
and Shane Stone are supposed to be turning each other on, but there's no evidence that they were ever in the same place at the same time, or that Case's portion of the action was shot
for this project.
The three sex scenes that work are about the seduction of self-described straight young men into gay sex. (Except for Mikey DiNero, who holds out convincingly for a while, they
need minimal coaxing.) The real find here is Jarret Fox, a Billy Budd blond whose delicate face contrasts with a large, insistent cock. He shines on camera. In the early '80s, William Higgins or
Artie Bressan might have snapped him up and made him a star. He carries the funny, steamy opening scene, in which he lures "straight" classmate Damian Ryce into his bedroom, ostensibly
to collaborate on math homework. This pair turns up again later, but it's only to provide an excuse for jerkoff footage of Case, who's supposed to be watching.
