How to order

The uncut, hardcore version of Titan Media's Heat runs nearly three hours and encompasses just four major scenes, but hardly a minute of screen time feels overextended. (The one passage that could have been trimmed is the opening sequence, whose overload of visual teasers includes stunning shots that should have been permitted to catch viewers by surprise in context later on.) The well-chosen cast, eleven muscular, thirtyish-looking guys with natural body hair and a few days' growth of beard, is devastatingly hot. Everyone is fiercely into the sex. You get the impression that the cameras could stop rolling, and the models might still carry on till they drop.

The first three segments are carefully detailed and seamlessly, beautifully sustained. This video should make a star of Victor Racek, a Czech model making his Titan Media debut. Working with Racek and with Yuri Breshnev, his gorgeous off-screen partner, Alec Martinez turns in a performance that rivals his work for Kristen Bjorn. Texan hunk Chris Steele, a John Travis discovery who has been around for two prolific years, has never seemed so alive or attractive. Blake Harper's firelit three-way with Titan models Brice Patton and Michael Vincenzo is technically and sexually astonishing.

Just when you think nothing could top what you've been watching for two hours, Jason Branch walks out of the desert, encounters Lance Gear, John Galt, and Nick Nicaste under a railroad bridge, and in the landmark sequence that follows, lends new meaning to the term branch water. The safety police may object to Branch peeing into Gear's mouth and up Nicaste's gaping butthole, or Nicaste expelling his urine enema on Gear's face and chest, but these watersports passages are so superbly handled that only the most squeamish viewers will balk.

Shot entirely outdoors in the desert outside Palm Springs and on the grounds of the Gravel Pit, a Cathedral City sex club, this primally erotic instant classic is the best Titan Media production since the original Fallen Angel (1998). It may be the crowning achievement of director/videographer Bruce Cam, whose direction of sex is second to none, and whose visuals set industry standards. Heat is available at retail outlets in a shortened version that censors the piss play out of the fourth act; we recommend mail ordering the unabridged edition obtainable directly from Titan on two VHS tapes or DVD. Gay porn is seldom this good.
