Skin On Skin (Arena) Review

Reviewed by Joe Shaver  on  11/15/2003

SKIN ON SKIN is another of Arena’s Brazilian cut and paste jobs. Scenes follow one another with no preparation or set-up and the action seems to have been filmed at various times. For example the blond dude on the cover (the best thing in this opus) appears in the first two scenes with coal black hair and then appears in the final two with the blond hair we see on the DVD cover. He is recognizable because of the chain necklace and the ring on his up-yours finger. Also because of his distinctive moans of pleasure and his insatiable love of having something up his ass.

In the first scene we find this lovely slut crawling onto a bed where two others are naked. They are a muscular dude with a shaved head that appears in most of these films that I have referred to as “El Baldo” and a good-looking slender but well-built young hunk with a beauty mark mole on his chin. Our handsome cover man—with black hair here—sucks the cocks of the other two and takes their cocks up his ass. No one cums in the scene. It just cuts to:

The second scene where we find The Handsome One with a black cock up his ass. They are standing in an indoor pool that has been drained. (Is this symbolism?) After a time as the black dude plows into him, a long strand of pre-cum appears on the head of The Handsome One’s cock and drools downward. I told you he loved getting fucked. As long as something is in his ass, his dick remains as hard as a hustler’s heart. The black stud pulls out and Mole Mark from scene one takes his place. He’s a rabbit–fucker, short fast jabs. “Uh, uh, uh,” goes The Handsome One. His dick is still rock hard. A cross fade takes us to a short muscular stud pounding into The Handsome One. Since no cast names are listed anywhere, we’ll call him “Cute Muscle”. But no matter whose cock is in him, The Handsome One’s cock stays stiff. Close-ups of his bouncing cock will make you want to lick your screen. How can these dudes’s ignore it? A close-up of a pumping cock pulls back to reveal Mark Mole is fucking him again. This is a scène that could have been a ball-buster if only it had a proper set-up. But there are no real transitions or continuity—in short—no direction, so after a time it becomes tedious. Finally there is a bit of a change as The Handsome One lies down on his belly and the black one returns to fuck. Only now we can’t see the throbbing dick. Another dick is inserted in a close-up. I’m really ready for this scene to end and The Handsome One probably is too. But now El Baldo is fucking him. Then Mark Mole again. (Time to fast-forward) The Handsome One sits on El Baldo’s prick and sucks the black cock. Too many close-ups of cock into asshole make this film seem like a documentary. When The Handsome One sits on the black dick his own dick is still hard. (I love this guy!) Finally someone besides me takes a brief interest in his cock and Cute Muscle gives it a few sucks. But we cut away immediately to the four dudes standing over The Handsome One and all are jacking off. Three of them cum on him in highly edited cuts. (The other’s cum has been cleaned away before another deposits a load.) One of the standees doesn’t cum. The Handsome One doesn’t cum. Can you believe that?

Scene three actually has a brief beginning. Cute Muscle goes to open a hotel door. (We know it’s a hotel because the room rates are posted on the door.) He admits Mark Mole. Both sit on the bed and kiss. Cute M removes Mark Mole’s shirt and sucks on his tits. The next thing we know he’s got a cock in his mouth. He starts to put a condom on the cock and the next thing we know we are in another of those documentary close-ups with him sitting on a cock with just the head of it in his ass. (He only takes the head. It never goes all the way in. He also doesn’t like it, because his dick—unlike The Handsome One’s in the earlier scenes—is as soft as melted cheese. I never knew a cock could retreat that far into a foreskin and get that small.) He next sprawls on his belly to take the dickhead that way; then doggy, then sidesaddle; then missionary; then in a sort of pretzel position. Mark jacks off onto his face. Cute M briefly sucks the spent dick.

Suddenly we are in another of those tight shots. The Handsome One—now blond—has a cock in his mouth and another in his ass. Who is he sucking? Who is fucking him? The scene is a fast, unrealized quickie. Someone cums on his face. Fade-to:

The Handsome One—still blond—lying on a bed, giving a come-hither gesture. Cute Muscle joins him. They kiss. The Handsome One starts sucking cock. They 69. The Handsome One picks up a small hideously pink dildo. (It’s the color of a newborn mouse.) He inserts—just the head, of course—into Cute Muscle’s butt. Then Cute Muscle puts the dildo in The Handsome One’s butt. They kiss to end the scene and the film. No one cums!

Except for El Baldo, the guys are attractive. The Handsome One is a real find. But the film is a hack job. Bits and pieces strung together to make a quick buck. No set ups for the scenes. Too many anonymous close-ups. Well, no direction. I’ve given it a better rating then I might solely on the strength of the guys’ looks and The Handsome One’s performance. The ingredients are here, but they were not properly used. It was like having a beautiful piece of beef and then having the cook boil it instead of broiling it. Maybe they should have called this one SIN ON SKIN.
