The Calling

Online Rental: 30 days only $12.95 Director: Mike Esser & Stephen Bulfield Studio: Pride Video Starring: Taylor Jakks, Shaye Best, Darren Harker, John Turnmill, Bastian, Yiannis, Ged Davitt Rating:

A mysterious caller initiates a sexual relationship with Taylor Jakks (quite yummy!) in this shagadelic British import from Pride Video. They become "phone fuck buddies" through a series of erotic phone calls until their relationship intensifies, culminating in a man-to-man encounter at the video's conclusion. Even though it's a softcore production, The Calling generates a degree of heat that most hardcore features fail to achieve. The sexual chemistry explodes in each highly charged action scene. The sex is carefully orchestrated to avoid any actual penetration shots, but the actors are convincing enough to make it look like the real thing -- even though it might be simulated. All the staples of gay porn are covered here, including communal shower sex, weight room sex, sauna sex, snoggy tearoom encounters, club sex, jock sniffing, locker room sex, and of course bedroom sex. Stylish, energetic, and perfectly paced, it clocks in at a lean 55 minutes, so you won't feel the slightest urge to hit that FF button. If you're a diehard fan of hardcore action, don't be put off. The Calling is still a must see that'll have you throbbing just as hard as the hardest of hardcore XXX.
