Matter of Size, A Review

Reviewed by Joe Shaver  on  11/17/2005

A MATTER OF SIZE is one of the gems from the pre-condom era of gay porn. A gem because it features the incomparable Bill Henson (see cover) one of the most beautiful men to ever get before the camera. He simply defined the word Adonis and he always, always took it up the ass and seemingly loved it. He’s in three scenes here (2 ½ really).

The film opens with Bill and Eric Stryker lying on the beach talking about their wet dreams. Eric was a handsome muscular blond who—as we shall see here—was quite versatile. Bill tells of his dream first. In his dream he’s tossing a football with a mustachioed hunk, Joe Purcelli. They go back to Bill’s place where things heat up very quickly. Joe goes down on Bill’s succulent cock, they fall into a nice 69 on the floor, and—as Bill kneels on the floor and supports his upper body on the sofa—Joe slides his cock up Bill’s gorgeous ass. That, however, is only part one of Bill’s dream. In part two we find Bill on the floor, handcuffed. He reaches his bound hands up towards the naked hunk standing over him beating off—Matt Ramsey. (Matt later moved on to straight porn as Peter North.) Matt won’t let Bill touch him although Bill continues to reach toward him. Matt putts his foot on Bill’s chest and Bill cums. Matt then grabs Bill by the hair and jacks off onto the beautiful man’s chest.

Eric’s dream is a leather fantasy. Eric is wearing a leather harness and there are four other muscular leather guys (including the fabulously built Lance Chisholm) seated side by side on the floor stroking their large dicks. Eric picks the one I would have chosen and starts chewing on his tit. He will also suck on his toes and—of course—dick. Elsewhere one of the other hunks offers up his butt for Lance to fuck him doggy fashion. (Why can't I have dreams like these?)

The sun is setting on the beach so Bill and Eric decide to drop by Doug Weston’s beach house. There Doug tells of getting off watching three cute twinks in a marathon suck and fuck. They are the puckish Bobby Madison (aka Brian Michaels), blond Scott Avery with his Casper the Friendly Ghost tattoo on his thigh and an uncut cock, and sweet young Don Webber (aka Marc Wallace). Bobby is the master of ceremonies who after some super cocksucking tells the others what to do. First off he tells Scott to fuck Marc. Then Marc—on Bobby’s orders—fucks Bobby while Scott—also on Bobby’s orders—feeds Bobby his uncut cock. Bobby also gets a whack at Scott’s ass before they’re through.

Doug—a strapping handsome mustachioed hunk with sparkling eyes says he must invite the twinks over sometime. “But how about us, now?” Eric inquires. “Well,” Doug replies, “I have a pretty big dick”. Bill says they are willing to try it. (I love this guy!) By now Doug is stroking it, and it is indeed a big one. Eric walks over, drops his shorts, and sits down on it. Bill wants it too so, when Eric dismounts, Bills hops onto the big dick. “I’ve always waned to fuck him,” Eric says of Bill. (Who hasn’t?) Bill is willing so getting in the same position he did for Joe in scene one, Bill gives his ass up to Eric. We finish up with Bill lying on Eric’s back presenting both their asses for Doug’s big cock. Doug fucks first one and then the other, pulling out of Eric’s ass to enter Bill’s, and vice versa. The director of this hot film was Marc Fredricks.

Bill Henson made too few films in his short career. The best of them is probably SAILOR IN THE WILD that I reviewed sometime back, but any of Bill’s films is a must-see classic and we should rejoice he made as many as he did. Ostensibly straight, he left porn and married—so I was told—to a rich heiress. As much as Bill loved a cock up his ass I hope she got herself a strap on dildo. I hope he was happy.
