Fleshtones (ARI Productions / Le Salon) Review

Reviewed by Joe Shaver  on  7/20/2003

Another pre-condom video dragged from the vaults and transferred to DVD. This one consists of a series of episodes with no apparent linking theme, just a licking one.

EPISODE #1: THE PAPERBOY
Shawn Peters, a towhead with a medieval haircut, comes to collect for the paper. Sam, a cute Chinese lad, says that he needs to get the money from the next room. As Shawn waits on the sofa, he spies a hardcore gay magazine. He is jacking his dick when Sam returns to give him a helping mouth. They sixty-nine briefly, but Sam does most of the work. He takes Shawn’s dick up the ass. I hope he’s not charged for the paper.

EPISODE #2: THE POOL BOY
Brian Thompson, a very well-built and beautiful lad, invites the pool boy Champ for a swim. Champ wears his shorts, but Brian skinny-dips. Soon Brian is running his hands admiringly over Champ’s bod. This leads to a blowjob before Champ fucks the handsome lad. Champ remains strictly trade throughout it all signifying that instead of “Champ” he should more appropriately be referred to as “Chump”.

EPISODE #3: THE PLUMBER
Mark Christopher and Jake Scott are the stars of this scene. Mark is a nice-looking lad. Jake is a dirty blond with long hair, a beard, and a big dick. Mark asks plumber Jake if he needs a hand. He does. He also needs a mouth and an ass. Jake plumbs Mark in a variety of styles.

EPISODE #4: THE TRUCK STOP
David Reams is literally chewing on Joe Nevada’s dick. Joe gently sucks David’s; then reams Reams.

EPISODE #5: THE ORGY
Toby Harris (who also performed as Jeff Bentley), a little blond sexpot, is sucking pretty boy, Joel Curry. Both suck Lee Roy, an adorable twink. Then Lee sucks Toby. Brian Thompson (from scene 2) sixty-nines with Joel Curry. Lee and Toby sixty-nine, too. Brian eats Joel’s ass; Lee eats Toby’s. Then they fuck them.

The bodies are great, but the sex is perfunctory. What could have been an exciting film, remains only interesting. This film from the so-called golden age is merely bronze. Episodes #1, #4, and #5 are the best. The transfer to DVD is adequate.
