Hats Off Review

Reviewed by Joe Shaver  on  3/30/2002

Sclockmeister Edward James (the Ed Wood of gay porn) appears to just turn the camera on and let his performers go at it. If they are fairly attractive and into one another, the sex can be okay. But if they are not, we are condemned to watching a guy suck on a limp dick for fifteen minutes and then get fucked in the same position for another fifteen. In this film, to be fair, the guys are sexy and the sex isn't bad. But it's still pretty ordinary. Okay, so they're not wearing condoms. But mediocre sex doesn't become good sex just because the partners are not wearing condoms. It just becomes stupid sex. Buying these films will not simply be condoning schlock; it will be encouraging foolish and impressionable viewers to risk their lives for something that isn't worth it. (I know because I've had sex without condoms when I was too stupid to know better.) Ah, I can hear it now: "C'mon, Charlie, let's do it bareback." "Yeah, Dude, and tomorrow when we go skydiving let's do it without parachutes." "Cool!"
