Gay sex and...karate? Strange bedfellows, indeed! The phenomenal Jim Steele unleashes his sword on the likes of Chad Douglas and Grant West in this incredible vintage porn video directed by Phillip St John. Always popular -- and for good reason -- Below the Belt stands out as a true classic. There isn't any one thing in particular that makes this film so wonderful; the entire movie simply stands out from start to finish. The performances are spirited (at times a little rough), the camera work is deliciously naughty, and even the potentially lame karate sequences are seamlessly blended into the sex. Below The Belt reveals all the best of yesteryear, like sex and naturally masculine men, with none of the excessive storytelling. It's hard to believe this was made in the eighties! Kicking off with a fun and catchy original theme song by Garth Evans (composer of many songs for Nova soundtracks and the theme song for St. John's Getting It), we see the guys at practice. After an intense karate session, all the fellas in the dojo hit the locker room. Two of the guys take a shower together, seeming to ignore each other as they soap up. However, they both are half-hard; big ol' wieners jut out from their tight physiques. The moment they step out of the shower one of the guys, Jordan Moore, grabs at Michael Ram's dick. He resists at first, people might be watching. Within seconds, he's got his hands firmly around Moore's head, pushing his face further into his crotch. Meanwhile, blond beauty Jim Steele (he's got devastating blue eyes) jerks off while watching from around the corner. Moore sucks Ram for a few minutes and then drops on all fours for a good fucking. His gigantic ball sac flops about with each thrust of Ram's rod. Elsewhere in the locker room (presumably after this little show), lanky Grant West approaches Jim Steele. He tells him of haunting dreams he's been having about the mustachioed super top Chad Douglas. In the dream, a masked ninja flail numchucks as green smoke fills a darkened room. West is trussed up in karate belts. He is attacked by the ninja and saves Douglas. He then turns into a young Asian man (billed as Sum Yung Mahn, the video's only misstep), who is fucked by Douglas, made to suck other guys' schlongs, and then is covered in jizz. The story gets Steele all horny; he practically attacks West while trying to get at his cock. West jams his wide load into Steele's tight hole and slaps him as he bangs away. Steele whimpers like it's his first time...totally hot. This intense group of scenes is followed by an astonishing outdoor threesome (between quite a trio: hung hottie Scott OHara, omnipresent '80s porn star David Ashfield, and cutie Michael Ram) complete with nasty talk and a double penetration that will make even the most seasoned bottom squeal in sympathy. The video comes to a climax when West is given a private lesson with Douglas. Douglas ravages West's hole right in the middle of the karate studio! The rest of the class comes in and joins the fun, basically breaking up into two groups: those who want to worship Douglas' ginormous meat and the ones who like it a little less rough. These dudes mess around with Jim Steele. The orgy ends appropriately with enough semen to impregnate a convent! From the film Below the Belt.
In scene 2, Adam and Yves go to a local park. Adam recounts, in poetic form, an adventure he had in New York with a neighbor, a bearded mechanic named Bud. They kiss, caress, and dry hump while Adam spouts his poetry in voiceover. It's all so precious and affected, but erotic nonetheless. He actually says things like a day for a lay when the air smelled like a locker room. and I opened a gap in the flap/I found what I hoped; I groped. Original release date: March 21st, 2016.

Year Released: 1990. Director: Roger Earl. Studio: Marathon. Cast: Harry Ros, Gerard Jonkers, Frans Roest, Theun DeBoer, Lance Evans, James Bruce, Paul V Rooy. This vintage gay leather sex video from Roger Earl is the first in the Bound for Europe series (gay leather, SM, bondage, fetish). Harry Ros, a topman, enters the bar and begins to terrorize a wimpy-looking guy, Paul V. Rooy. Ros slaps him in the face and then chains him up with a long set of links, adding extra clamps for his tits. Ros and another top, James Bruce, who is wearing some kind of military uniform, do an elaborate bondage scene on Lance Evans before, as the February 1991 issue of Manshots says, they "fist his dick to a gushing finish." In the dungeon, Gerard Jonkers and Bruce work over a pair of slaves, Frans Roest and Theun DeBoer. Roest shoots a big gusher after a session of bondage and tit play. While Roest watches from his suspension bondage, Ros tops Gerard. He spanks and slaps with his bare hand, but he also uses a cat o nine tails and a leather strap. Jonkers shoots some of that gorgeous white stuff out of his pierced piss slit. One reviewer wrote: Spanking, face slapping, and flogging leading up to some intense milking and hot cumshots, all taking place in a leather bar and in what looks like a basement dungeon. What's distinctive about this leather video is the combination of .naked BDSM aggression with sensual foreplay. And the guys don't hide behind elaborate equipment. The main top in the piece, Harry Ros, can make a mean rope harness, but it's a means to slow foreplay leading to an ecstatic orgasm. The first scene starts with Harry Ros, notable for his angular features and long fingers, assertively stomping into a leather bar. A bald guy, Paul V. Rooy, with a pierced nose, submits immediately to the slapping hands of Ros (Ros does love to work with his hands; sometimes that's all one needs as a BDSM top). He chains him up, attaching the nose piercing to his tits and to the Prince Albert on his cock. V. Rooy must really be into humiliation, as Ros ends up making him drink beer out of a dog bowl. The camera work throughout is natural, unobtrusive. The viewer feels that the scene is really happening in the actual leather bar setting; it doesn't feel staged at all. A hot moustached daddy type in full leather (Lance Evans) then enters the bar, and interacts with a dreamy looking guy (intense eyes) dressed in what looks like some type of uniform (James Bruce). They make out, and the viewer seems shots of them doing it with their gear off, but not totally naked, an effective touch, but one could do without the ominous music at this point. Ros joins in, and he and the uniform stud end up disrobing Evans; the big bulge in Evans' leather is quite noticeable. There's some slackening in the tension here as Ros ties the knots, but the ecstatic expression on Evans' face (kind of reminds me, perversely, of one of those Jesus as Ecce Homo pictures) as the two tops work him over keeps the dynamic going. One can tell all three guys are attracted to each other; kissing and licking and sucking occur just as much as BDSM play. Up this point, the interaction has been nonverbal, but as Evans spectacularly cums from his veiny cock, one can hear Ros saying something like "beautiful." And it is! In the next scene, Gerard Jonkers, a tattooed muscle stud, and Bruce work over two slaves, Frans Roest and Theun de Boer. The groveling Theun de Boer appears to be a major pain pig; though he doesn't get flogged to the level of some of the other bottoms in other leather films, his writhing moans while chained to what looks like a tree trunk as the tops flog him, and his overall submissive attitude, make the viewer want to see him in some really heavy action. The scene really flows well, climaxing in studmuffin Roest's cumshot while he is restrained to another pole and spanked and caned de Boer roughly flung down to the ground and used as a muddy bootwipe. Hot! In the final scene, three guys stomp down into what looks like a basement dungeon. Ros puts Roest into some form of suspension bondage, spread-eagled against a wall. He then proceeds to work over Jonkers. Jonkers gets naked, and Ros strips down to a jock. Ros uses a variety of implements and his bare hand on Jonkers, including a really hot cat o' nine tails. From the looks of it, it really stings! At one point it looks like Jonkers is going to cum on Ros' harness boot, but that doesn't happen. Throughout, Ros seems to get into wiping Jonkers' extensive precum. Jonkers' thick cock emits drops of rich, milky cum. The front cover of the issue number 20 of Mach, a Drummer publication, features a scene from this film. The issue also contains stills of other scenes from the movie. "Filmed, utilizing real masters and genuine submissives, in the famed Amsterdam bar, the Argos, this S and M videotape titled, simply enough, Argos: The Session is first rate in both the vitality of the performers and the capturing of their action on camera." Manshots, February 1991. Original release date: October 29th, 2019.
Starring: Al Parker, Duff Paxton, Jack Wrangler, Steve Taylor, Will Seagers aka Matt Harper. Supporting Cast: Dan Noble, Frank Ross, R.W. Stone, Rob Stevens, Sam Benson. Production quality is high throughout this Steve Scott-directed classic gay porn video that balances narrative and sexual play. Al Parker is featured in this dramatic and super-butch story of convicts on the lam. An abusive guard, Jack Wrangler, who overacts orgasm but is well cast as the villain, makes inmates suck his cock while he points his rifle at them as he gets off. Parker and his straight pal Will Seagers lie in their cell and decide to escape before it's their turn, while Wrangler is getting head from R.W. Stone. The next day, outdoors doing road work, Al and Will make their break while, again, Wrangler is getting his meat chewed, this time by Sam Benson. What makes this film work is the character development the two men go through, still locked in their chains, and the evolving relationship of respect they acquire as Seagers tries to understand Parker's sexual preference. The escaped duo ends up in a desolate cabin inhabited by rough-looking Duff Paxton. With Parker and Seagers still bound together, Al and Duff suck dick 69 style that night, with Seagers pretending to be resting and merely enduring the homosexual act. Seagers can't seem to take the sexual issues and hits Parker the next day, breaking himself free and traveling out on his own, only to get caught in a bear trap in the woods. Parker finds and frees him, with Seagers beginning to understand his odd buddy. Parker then relates a story of being debased in a prison shower while he was in the army, as the action switches to flashbacks. Here, he is gang-used by Dan Noble and Rob Stevens. He also tells of an affair with a ranch hand, real-life lover Steve Taylor, in which he humps him with his balls. Camerawork is especially good in the lyrical barn segment as photography captures Al's dripping wet blowjob for Taylor. Parker finally shows Seagers what it's all about by giving him a memorable blow job, complete with Seagers's well-acted restraint mixed with enjoyment. The photography is near perfect and the harmonica and guitar music is a welcome change from the typical disco beats heard in other films. A decidedly masculine production that is both a classic gay porn movie and an ode to gay male sexuality. Movingly acted by both Parker and Seagers, the final coming together of the two principals is studded with loaded glances, powerful pauses, and honest responses that appropriately cap the film. And for once, it is appropriate not to tell the viewer how the film ends, except to say that its conclusion fuses both the dramatic and erotic to provide a double-barreled impact. Original release date: March 25th, 2016. From the film: Wanted.
