Porn: Classic Colt for the 21st century

Ripped: No Pain, All Gain is another ode to the glory of the male form


You might consider Colt Studio one of the venerable old gentlemen of man-on-man porn. It’s been in the game for more than 40 years — a lifetime in this industry.

The classic Colt man is one of the most iconic images of gaydom there is, emblazoned on the psyches of all gay men of a certain age. The muscles, the mustaches, the sheer masculinity — there’s no mistaking it.

But they’ve also kept up to date with the 21st century, with a state-of-the-art membership website, streaming videos and more of the same massive bodybuilding beauties they’ve always provided.

Their latest, Ripped: No Pain, All Gain, is another ode to the glory of the male form at its most mountainous.

It’s four scenes of simple, straightforward duos. No plot as such, beyond the minimal setups required to get the men naked and raring to go.

Scene 1’s performers, Danny Drake and John Magnum, are both gay-for-pay, and frankly, you can tell. While they’re undeniably beautiful and they give it their best shot, the passion and man-hunger are just not there. Drake has to work so hard for his cumshot it verges on comical.

Thankfully, things get better from there — a lot better. Ty LeBoeuf and Darin Hawk tease each other from a distance for ages until the tension is ready to explode. Hawk bites gently at Ty’s tits, drawing it out deliciously. These two aren’t the biggest men Colt has ever featured, but when they finally get busy, it’s with the energy the build-up deserves.

Muscle worship turns into genuinely tender lovemaking between Ricky Parks and Mitch Branson. These two beefy, furry gents fuck hard and make it seem as natural as breathing.

I’ve never been a bear-lover, but Ricky Parks could definitely get me to change my mind.

And hairy giant Nate Karlton really drives it home to shaven-headed Gage Weston in Scene 4.

One of the great things about being gay is that massive muscle mountains like these can happily get fucked silly, and it doesn’t make them any less masculine.

Aside from that first scene, these are all men who fuck like they mean it. Plots and acting and production all have their place, but there is nothing better than watching two men who truly want each other. That’s all I’ve ever asked from my porn.
