Service Trade Review

Reviewed by Joe Shaver  on  3/9/2004

SERVICE TRADE from Titan Studios has three positively scorching scenes and one dud. But the three scorchers are more than enough to make this one to get.

As the film opens we see Jace Hunter, a mature stud with white hair who looks very much the head of an international business, talking on the phone in German. We cut to Titan’s favorite superstar (Ben Jakks) who has just arrived from London, calling Jace on a cell phone as the bellhop (Joe Foster) takes his bags from the car. Ben—if you don’t know him from his many appearances for Titan—is quite a hunk. Of mixed African and English heritage, Ben is built like the proverbial brick shithouse. Not only is he quite handsome, but he also looks sharp and intelligent. He is indeed the stuff of which porn superstars are made. Having taken the bags to the room, Joe has removed a pair of Ben’s briefs from the suitcase and is getting a hard-on sniffing them. Ben is not the least disturbed in finding him doing this, and decides to give him the real thing. So begins the sensational first scene. Joe is a perfect counterpart for Ben. He, too has a nice—though less muscular—build and to describe his cock as “succulent” is to underrate it. His balls are large and tight. Ben does both full justice. When it is time, Joe bends over an armchair and offers Ben his ass. After a bit, Joe gets up into the chair for Ben to stand and fuck him. The action then moves to one of the most fascinating chairs I have ever seen. It is a narrow chair on a rocker that tilts back. It’s the ideal fuck chair, and no home should be without one. (Titan should sell them on their web site.) Joe lies back in the chair, it tilts back, and Ben straddles the foot of it to administer a scintillating missionary fuck.

After this super opener, we find Danny Vox on his cell phone informing Jace’s assistant, Jon Galt, that he has dropped Ben at the hotel. Jon tells him to drop by the construction site. Rick Rivera and Dante Foxx are at work on the unfinished building when Danny arrives. Once there he does what we all do when we visit a construction site—take off our pants. Clad only in his shirt and socks with his dick leading the way, Danny drops down by a large hole in the uncompleted wall and watches Rick take a piss. Shaking off the remaining drops, Rick sticks his cock through the oversized glory hole for Danny to suck. Danny runs his tongue under the foreskin and then goes back to swallowing the rod. (Why does Danny have “3” tattooed on the back of his neck. “666” I understand. But “3”?) Dante approaches Danny with another stiff dick and Danny willingly accepts it. He then goes back and forth between the two. Ah, decisions, decisions. Both cum on him.

He is then taken to another part of the site where Dante eats his ass. Rick sticks his tongue up there as well. Boy, can that dude lick ass! Brian Mills gets his camera right in there for a fabulous close-up. Rick then feeds Danny dick while Dante fucks him. (Now we know why Danny took his pants off.) Rick has a go and then it’s Dante’s turn again. As each of the guys is fucking Danny the other stands behind the fucker and makes motions that he’s going to fuck the fucker. But it doesn’t happen. (Damn! That’s teasing.) These are three exciting performers. Rick is an adroit sexual artist, Dante looks better than I have ever seen him, and Danny is a cuddly little bear. The fuck finishes with Danny sitting on Rick’s dick enabling Dante to slide his in beside it for a lengthy dual-fucking. Once again the camera is right in there giving us a ball’s eye view. Danny shoots an enormous load, followed by a good one from Dante. Danny licks Rick’s balls to bring forth a flying load from him. [In a special segment of the bonus disk in the Extended Edition both Rick and Dante piss in Danny’s mouth. It would have been such a fitting conclusion to the scene to have had it in it’s proper context. Putting watersports in appendices reminds me of those books that delete the naughty bits and then put them at the back of the book where they get more attention than if they were left where they belonged.]

Alex Leon is on his cell phone speaking to someone—probably Jace, as they appear together in the final scene. But we now cut to Owen Hawk watching porn on his computer. His big uncut cock is out and getting some exercise. Outside in the hallway Jon Galt tells Rick Pantera that the office is free and now would be a good time to do the electrical work. Rick comes in and finds Owen at work. Owen, a slender young man in his early twenties with his big uncut cock and his lightly haired chest, is one sexy dude! Rick wastes no time at all in getting to work on that boner. Later they swap tongues. Owen licks Rick’s sweaty armpit, chews on the nipple that doesn’t have the ring, and swallows Rick’s cock, Prince Albert and all. Rick takes Owen’s tie and loops it around his ball sac to squeeze his testicles into a single orb that Owen can take into his mouth. Owen jacks off onto Rick’s work boot and then licks it off. Rick cums on Owen.

They move to a table where Owen sits and lets Rick do some more mouth-work on his dick. Rick also rims Owen’s furry butt. Then bending Owen over the table, Rick slides his pierced cock—still containing the Prince Albert—into Owen’s creamy buns. After a bit of pummeling, it’s Owen’s turn to bend Rick over the table and have a go at him. [A short bit on the bonus disk had Owen’s rimming of Rick prior to the fuck. Another bit that seems needlessly cut from the main action.] Rick cums while he is being topped; Owen dribbles on Rick’s butt.

At this point in the film, Titan was batting a thousand with three positively scorching scenes and I was sure I was going to give this a 5-star rating for the sex. But then came scene four.

The Alex Leon scene begins with Jace telling Alex that he has something for him that will sweeten their deal. That something is Jon Galt bound to a table. Alex takes a large rubber strap and gently slides it over Jon’s body. The only discomfort here would be tickling. He gives the gentlest little love pats to Jon’s cock. Oh, come off it, Titan! If you are going to do S & M, do S &M; not this juvenile vanilla version of it! Alex signs the contract and strips off to reveal himself in a leather harness. Jace follows suit—or lack of suit—and he’s in harness, too. This is without a doubt the feeblest and silliest leather scene I have ever seen. Any leather dudes watching would roll on the floor in sardonic laughter, or throw beer cans at the TV. Alex fucks Jon. But it has no passion. For the first time viewing this film, I was bored. The only thing of interest is Alex’s cum shot. A tremendous long distance volley done in slo-mo. There was more to this scene as we see on the bonus disk. There, Jace gets into the action and the scene ends as it should have with Jace and Alex cumming on Jon. The ending that was used instead is simply a replay of Alex’s cum shot, causing the film—no pun intended—to just peter out.. Once again I could not understand the deletion. Was it because if it went beyond 126 minutes the film wouldn’t fit on 2 hour VHS? (Does anyone still buy VHS?) If that was the reason for the deletions and the truncated ending, then they should have cut the senseless plot that serves only feebly to unite the scenes. There was a deleted scene supposedly put on the extended additions with Ben Jacks, Joe Foster, and the incredibly beautiful young bear, Matthew York. I couldn’t see it because the DVD is imperfectly pressed and the scene wouldn’t play, but it had to be better than the silly sorry threesome that was used.

Still, as the first three scenes are among the hottest things we are likely to see in porn, I can’t bring myself to give this one anything less than 4 stars.
