On the Set: <I>Down the Drain</I>

It's Rod Barry's very first time directing — and I miss his cherry-breaking first scene because I'm out by the pool watching Antonio Madiera pose for glamour shots! Okay, the first scene is only Kevin Brown talking on the phone, but still.

Barry, a Dirk Yates discovery, has had a long and interesting career as a performer. It is fitting that his first directing gig should be for All Worlds. He's worked for everybody in the decade he's been in XXX, but All Worlds is where he got his start so it's really like home.

Barry comes out to the pool, all smiles, ready to direct his first sex scene.

Gorgeous Kevin Brown walks by, buck naked, looking for some Anal-Eze for his bottoming scene. "Does that work on you? I tried it and it didn't," says the still photographer. Kevin says it works all right for him. Barry enters the discussion and says his ass was saved once when he was having trouble with a big dick, and the guy who owned the house where the film was being shot came to the rescue with some prescription-grade Anal-Eze.

"But what about the dick being desensitized?" someone asks. "That's where the condom comes in," says Barry. "I guarantee there are a lot of guys in straight movies [where condoms are not used] having a problem keeping hard because the girls are using it for anal scenes."

With the monitor and camera in place, Barry tells Kevin and Antonio what he wants. This is a plumber-themed movie and Kevin plays a homeowner who has a major crush on plumber Antonio. He keeps calling to have him come fix his pool when there's nothing wrong with it. "Everyone in the office is calling me the 'pool boy'," Antonio complains in the dialogue that leads up to the sex. "So… why do you keep coming back?" Kevin asks slyly. Then he grabs Antonio and pulls him into the water.

For the second take, videographer Ross Cannon puts his camera into a ten-gallon aquarium and gets into the pool. He holds the watertight aquarium below the water line to film the guys as they splash into the pool and tussle underwater. Ingenious!

The tussling turns to kissing, then the guys pull each other's shirt off and grab each other's crotch. Cannon gets it all. Sex is supposed to happen, but the water is still cold — the pool heater didn't get turned on until a half hour before the shoot — so they take a break.

Because the sun is so bright and there's no shady spot for the monitor, Barry has been watching and directing the action from under a black cloth that covers the monitor and his head. He pops out and, really happy with the footage so far, says to producer Dan Cross, "You can't believe how great this looks!"

After Kevin and Antonio warm up in the sun, they try the pool again. Kevin has a super hard-on and Antonio is giving awesome head. Encouragingly, Barry says, "I know it's cold, guys, but it's gonna look great."

But the water is too uncomfortably cold, so he decides to switch them to the spa for a bit and then out of the water and onto a lounge for sex. They get in the spa, which is really warm, and start fooling around. "Can we have sex here?" Antonio asks. "You can for a while," Barry says, "but I'll tell you, from my experience, the hot water will sap your energy."

When the new shooting area is ready, Barry says, "You guys can get out of the hot tub and work on woodies." Kevin emerges from the water onto the deck, fully erect, and announces, "I don't have to work on it."

As the guys start to kiss and suck dick on the lounge, Barry reminds them, "Remember where the camera's at. Stay open to the camera." Then, "Fuck his face, Kevin, he can take it. He's had a ten-inch cock in his mouth," a reference to superhung Chad Donovan, Antonio's lover of several years.

When it's time to fuck, Kevin rolls on a condom and tries to push into Antonio, but he can't get in, so he adds more lube. "How'd you get so tight? Barry joshes. Antonio smiles and quips, "That cold water." Kevin slowly gets into Antonio's ass, then picks up speed.

"Let that dick bounce, Antonio, let it bounce!" Barry instructs. He's in his element now, calling out directions. "C'mon, Kevin, fucking pound him! Yes! Give me thirty more seconds of that!" Barry stamps his feet with glee, calls, "Cut!" and thanks both the guys.

Barry goes over the next sequence with Kevin. "You'll fuck him, let him ride your dick, then you'll blow him — not very long — then he'll fuck you." "Can I come while he's fucking me?" Kevin asks. "Sure — just not in the first five minutes. I'll tell you when you can come."

They resume and Kevin powerfucks Antonio. New position and Antonio fucks himself on Kevin's cock. This goes on forever. Their stamina is amazing.

Barry positions Kevin for bottoming and fake-fucks him. Both laugh and mug for the photographer. When it's time for Antonio to fuck Kevin, though, he either can't get in (Antonio has a big dick) or he loses his concentration when there's no condom on hand when he calls for one. Whatever the reason, in the interests of time it's decided that Kevin will fuck Antonio again. Antonio certainly has no problem coming, which he does with a roar. Then Kevin splats goo on Antonio's stomach, the scene is complete, and I high-tail it out of there to write it all up.

Down the Drain is scheduled for an early 2006 release. Ordering info: 800-537-8024; AllWorldsVideo.com.
