A celebration of black and Latino men, this DVD is actually a “video magazine”: Flavamen Magazine. It’s footage of men, solo and together, performing during their photo shoots. It’s a good solid two and a half hours, but most of that is filled with models being given direction by the director as a photographer circles them. The other problem—most of the men seem bored, nervous, or distracted. But there are a couple of notables.

The solo men are shot in a variety of settings, and all end with masturbation. Some of the models are hot, but their complete focus is obviously on a porn that must be playing to keep them turned on—so most concentrate on staying hard and jerking off. Chris Cruz is modestly sexy with a great ass, and gives us a wildly far reaching cum shot. B-Nasty is lean and appears very uncomfortable—but he does spread his legs to show his hairy hole. Staying hard is a problem for him. Patrick has rippling muscles, gorgeous lips, sexy eyes... unfortunately, he looks like he’s in a daze for his entire shoot. But, he is so fine you forgive him. And he’s got a huge uncut cock, giant nipples, and a fuzzy asshole the director has him show off by getting on all fours, his big balls dangling down. Fantastic—can I get a negative of the still shot?

Lex is pure sleaze, likes to play with his nipples when he jacks off, and has fun with his precum. Heat is super skinny, and jerks off on a mirror. Where’d I put that Windex? Dark chocolate Body... well, his name says it all: Muscle hunk. He knows he’s hot, and that’s ok with me. He loves the camera almost as much as he loves himself. Sport has the fashion sense and hairstyle of a cast member of Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo. His cock is thicker than his entire body. Cristiano is Latin perfection. Just gorgeous. Full lips, muscular body, great ass, smoldering eyes—and he knows how to masturbate for the camera. Fantasi closes the show. He has a basketball player look. Great eyes, great lips, great ass. So-so jerk off session.

The couple and group scenes are mostly clumsy, with actors struggling to get their cocks in each other’s asses, and no impressive footage showing us the actual contact. Castro and King look like rejects from the group B2K. There’s some ass oiled up, a huge cock is sucked, and an ass is fucked amateurishly—and it doesn’t seem the job is even completed. Sayvion, Aries and Scorpio are very street—and they do it all: sucking face, BJs, and ass-fucking, including a daisy chain. These guys know how to put on a show, and they are all into it. Platinum and Shareef are very romantic. There’s ear and nipple sucking—and almost some rimming, but it never happens. The ass fucking is being FELT—slow and deep. This is real and intimate. Quite a turn on. Vito and Shine are also into their scene, bringing back the street feel, and sucking some mean (and huge) cock. Their ass fucking is a winner due to a huge load that’s shot as a result of a huge dick up the ass...

This isn’t exactly loaded with hardcore stuff. The solo scenes are mostly uninspiring with a few exceptions and a few real studs. The non-solo scenes have potential, it’s just that, most often, the camera isn’t enthusiastic enough to get close in on the action leaving us wanting.
