How to order

When Marine Sergeant Jim Bentley strides into a latrine that Ash McKay and Hawk McAllister are supposed to be cleaning, he finds the two recruits applying their maintenance skills to one another's plumbing. Bentley, who seems tougher and better defined than in '80s when he was working for Falcon, barks, "On my command, get down on the head of my dick! HUAGH!" A pile-driving three-way ensues. It's interrupted when Captain Luke Walker appears, feigns outrage, and orders Bentley to report to his office.

Walker greets Bentley dressed for the occasion-- in the upper half of a Marine uniform, women's panties, a garter belt, white fishnet stockings, and high heels. While Walker and Bentley are having sex, Lieutenant Colonel Steve Pierce and Sergeant Drew Andrews amble in. The kinkiness quickly climbs a few rungs up the ladder of lunacy. Andrews licks Pierce's shoes, which could have been lifted from Minnie Mouse (if Minnie Mouse were a dominatrix). Pierce masturbates while drooling over big black boots. Andrews dresses as a Canadian Mountie and "rescues" a trussed-up Pierce from the path of an imaginary oncoming train. The two play horsie. When General Barresi, looking like a Central American dictator, orders Paul Morgan to delve into allegations of weird shenanigans, the result is easy to predict, but the final kicker is worth waiting for.

This exercise in military genderfuck is one of Paul Barresi's more off-the-wall productions, and one of his best. Like all Barresi's work, Marine Obsessions looks good. Sharp videography, lustrous color, and an emphasis on costuming create strong visuals that downplay some economy-class sets. The problem with this video is that it uses kink for laughs and shock effects, and never quite taps into its allure. If Baressi had managed to eroticize cross-dressing, boot worship, or Andrews's Dudley Doright routine, Marine Obsessions would still have been fun, but it would have been much hotter and more challenging. Amid all this loony transgression, the most effective sex scenes are vanilla.
