How to order

Brad (Adam Hart) operates an escort service with a bulging Rolodex. Eager to widen the ranks of Brad's Buddies, he offers cash incentives to employees who recruit new talent. One of Brad's top hunks-for-hire, Tom Katt, accordingly lures elfin Trent Austin away from Peter's Pals, a rival operation, leaving proprietor Peter in a vengeful swivet. Peter is portrayed by executive producer David Forest, whose non-sexual cameo here is an inside joke alluding to Forest's former notoriety as the gay equivalent of escort entrepreneur Heidi Fleiss.

Thor Stephans, billed here as a "guest" director, seems to have completed this project after Chad Donovan, who began it, dropped out for reasons unknown. (Donovan is pseudonymously credited as "Aaron West.") Off-camera difficulties aren't apparent in the finished product, however. Brad's Buddies is a technically competent production with a mildly amusing premise; its first-rate cast appears to be having lots of fun.

There's an awkward passage where Katt brings Austin to Brad's apartment for a hands-on job interview that is cut short in mid-blowjob as Jack Ryan and Rocky arrive, but the principal sex scenes­ two duos between two trios­ are effective. As bulked-up Katt fucks Scott Bradley, who in turn sucks Austin's long firm cock, Austin beams with delight and seizes Katt's hand. Luscious Jason McCain nibbles newcomer Dane Brando's toes as he fucks him. Rod Barry, in dominant mode, skewers African-American call boy Jeremy Tucker in a sling. Honey-blond Adam Hart, whose hairless torso resembles a big, sculpted Creamsicle, towers above Ryan and sly, streetwise Rocky as they collaborate on his erection. It's hard to know which director of record did what, but these turned-on models may not have required much guidance.
