With the market for romance-novel porn stories expanding, director Nica Noelle takes center stage as she helps push this genre forward, concentrating more on her male leads than the female ones in the hope of attracting more women. So with good-looking Euro-studs Manuel Ferrara and Toni Ribas as the stars, she has hedged her bet on two guys who still fuck like maniacs.

They play hustlers who prey on lonely rich women, and we see that in two long scenes: first with Toni Ribas banging Michelle Lay, then Ferrara fucking the big-breasted (and a little nutty) Sienna West. West is very good as she tells Manuel that she wants to be humiliated and throws him out (with a handful of cash) after he does just that. But both guys have their eye on 25-year-old heiress Samantha Ryan. The question is whether they are hustling her or in love with her.

The triangle plays out in two beautifully mounted sex scenes—one where Ribas ravishes the sexy Ryan and a rather hard scene where Manuel tries to break them up by fucking her. Ferrara and Ryan are in the throes of passion and he blows a load of cum that covers her, literally, from head to toe.

If the story implies afternoon soap opera, we’d almost say the acting here is better, with some real drama and import to the proceedings. With a nicely produced party scene as the centerpiece, Gigolos proceeds at a gingerly pace. As explicit porn, it probably will satisfy both female and male viewers.
