 It’s no secret: I’m a big fan of Kink.com (as evidenced by my review of BoundGods.com). Not only do they produce some of the highest quality fetish porn on the Web, but they set the bar even higher in terms of employee compensation and treatment, and their phenomenal adaptive reuse of the near derelict State Armory and Arsenal building in San Francisco’s Mission District for their studio and office spaces is a massive physical representation of their corporate values. With that said, Kink has done it again with NakedKombat.com!
 The concept behind the site is some combination of futuristic gladiatorial combat and classic beefcake erotic wrestling and it totally works. Essentially, two muscular men fight for dominance on jet-black mats or in water, oil, or mud with the loser bottoming for the victor after three eight-minute rounds. The fourth round is where the winner takes what he wants from his opponent for 10 minutes. Points are scored in various ways, from traditional to absolutely fetishistic, from ball grabbing and ass slapping, to takedowns and full nelsons. (And, while the action is pretty fast and furious, there are penalties for intentionally causing injury to an opponent’s head or groin.)
 Each match features a trailer, a photo set (broken down into contact sheets and also available for download in a single ZIP file), a number of movie clips (formatted for Windows Media), as well as the entire full-length video (available for Flash streaming). There is also a Forum, a Store (which redirects to the Mr. S Leather shop in San Francisco), and Special Offers that are available to members only.
 There are some big names and some very hot men on the NK site (with twenty “Naked Warriors” currently featured) including two of my all-time favorites: Dak Ramsey and Tober Brandt. Both men are ornately tattooed and very masculine, but Ramsey has a compact muscular body (with more of a classic wrestler build) while Brandt is taller and leaner. Both put up a helluva fight during their respective matches with other men and are phenomenal to watch in action as they grapple with the aggressions of the other fighters. Naked Kombat videos are directed by Van Darkholme, who oversees both of the current sites under the KinkMen.com imprint, after years of working with some of the brightest stars and largest studios in gay porn as an expert bondage performer and consultant.
 The most recent update, that features a live oil match (literally, in front of an audience) between Tyler Saint and Patrick Rouge, is indicative of the innovative approach to content that puts Kink.com ventures like NakedKombat.com head-and-shoulders above the competition. I couldn’t recommend this one more highly—NakedKombat.com is intense, sweaty, stunning brilliance.
