How to order

Between unadventurous sex scenes-- three twosomes and a threesome-- there's intriguing but repetitious footage of Sao Paolo's annual million-queer march, one of the largest Pride events in the world. The first episode starts with a dispute between stubble-faced hottie Ricardo Silva and cute spoilsport Guilherme Maia, who doesn't want to attend the parade. Their Portuguese dialogue is badly dubbed into English; the result is stilted, tacky, and distracting. Someone in charge, maybe going on the assumption that US porn fans can't read, appears to consider dubbing commercially safer and more viewer-friendly than subtitles. But the trouble with most of Brazilian director Pietro's videos isn't that they're in Portuguese, it's that they're lousy.

There's life in this one nevertheless. The models don't reflect Brazil's racial diversity, but they're easy on the eyes, and several are eagerly into the sex. The friskiest pairing is bald, tight-bodied Igor Mendes and muscular bottom Ricardo Pereira. In the third segment, CJ brings Tiago Ribeiro, a prize he's plucked off a parade float, home to Carlos Silvestri, his handsome, hairy boyfriend. There's a memorable bit where Ribeiro and Silvestri stand with CJ hanging upside down between them as they work on him orally. But most of the sex is routine, with clunky transitions from one position to the next via jump cuts.
