I have to admit, Michael Lucas' Auditions have been coming out of the gate a little fast lately... I haven't even had time to watch them all.
However, Auditions 18: Florida, Part I is special: I watched it. There were a bunch of unknown guys on it, and at least three of them were eye-catching (to me anyway). Let's pop it in my external DVD drive and watch it together...
Albert Long & Jorden Michaels:Michael Lucas spends long minutes interviewing tattooed cover guy Albert Long. Unfortunately I was eating Ruffles so I couldn't hear anything they said. I did notice Jorden Michaels getting a little antsy waiting for the sex, that's a good sign.
Now the clothes come off. Albert Long?! More like Albert Thick! Okay, first scene, pretty hot, even before Albert starts fucking Jorden, which is very hot as well. Jorden is rock hard, and Albert pumps like an Energizer bunny. And both are v.v. cute.
Cole Daniels & Derek Scott: Maybe I'm turning into a porn snob, with unrealistic expecatations about the human body and all—but these guys are both kinda out of shape. Cole is a little skinny but not toned, and Derrick is a little fleshy and not toned, and looks like he maybe used up an entire year's credits at the tanning salon in one weekend. Also, I'm kinda over orange peroxided hair. (But then again, this is Auditions, Florida.)
On the plus side, these two do seem to be enjoying the sex, like two normal guys would who had hooked up through Manhunt perhaps. Derek slips naturally into the top role (and into Cole's ass), making Cole unexpectedly vocal. They then switch back, and it turns out Derrick is actually the bigger bottom... in more ways than one.
Mario Perez, Jonathan Vargas, and Francesco Giovanelly: Right off the bat, everyone seems to want Jonathan Vargas, including me! The other two keep trying to make out with him. Much double-sucking occurs. Then one guy disappears and Jonathan fucks the other dude. Jonathan has a hot eight-pack and a thick dick. He doesn't shoot that much when he cums, but we can work with that.
TJ & Miguel: This was actually the pair that looked cutest on the box cover to me. I have a crush on a guy who looks like Miguel. The two begin with a rather romantic makeout session, revealing what is clearly a genuine sexual attraction for one another. The two shyly take turns sucking one another. Miguel has got a thick one, plus, plus, plus! He fucks TJ from multiple angles until he cums. TJ is really cute in an unspoiled way. Miguel jacks off into his mouth and it's way hot. I wasn't disappointed!
Bonus factoids from the Lucas website: "Construction worker TJ was inspired by his boyfriend Miguel to do porn. Michael pairs him with hottie Miguel for Auditions 18, and the two have a sizzling fuckfest of a scene. Originally from Illinois, TJ now calls Fort Lauderdale home and loves skydiving and swimming."
Todd Welch & Ray Star: In the obligatory Q&A by Michael Lucas before the sex, Ray looks highly unenthused about his plain-looking co-star, Todd Welch. Let's see if any chemistry appears when the clothes come off.
Hm, I'm not sure. But it's clear Todd Welch enjoys Ray fucking him. And Ray's back tatts are way hot.
In summary, Auditions 18 has something for just about everyone, except maybe Grandma, but do you really want Grandma watching gay porn?
