In recent years the Falcon video line Mustang managed to be a much more consistent and easier "brand" to describe. Mustang videos are of the rough, tough variety and although the brand name evokes comparisons with similarly titled companies, it has forged on and Contact is another good example of this consistent branding. Contact is a virtually plot-free sex video with a theme suggested by the title--man-on-man action preceded by competitive foreplay. The whole "sex fight" theme has been done many times before but Contact shows that this theme still has great potential. 

 If you've ever seen sex/fetish fight videos they have a tendency to be redundant but Contact avoids this with several distinctly different scenarios and believable action. The scenes range from back alley brawls, arm wrestling, singlet wrestling and boxing and all feature guys who give it their all. 

              

 Contact starts off in a bar where shirtless Rick Powers plays the half-drunk asshole who taunts Josh West and gets so riled up that he starts to fight back physically. The two "over 30" studs are told to take it outside and they do--right in the garbage-festooned back alley. After some brief fisticuff action West and Powers go at each other sexually with enough dirty talk, spittle and hardcore action befitting the setting. West is a little more convincing as the brutish butch type but Powers does have his "sex pig" role down very well.  Typecasting? Probably so.

 Back in the bar at closing time, the bartender (played by Crash) and customer Braxton Bond get into a semi-friendly arm-wrestling match (that'll get the testosterone flowing!) for stakes. And yes, you can guess what happens. The two get into without blinking an eye and wind up in a flip-flop fuck scene right on top of the pool table. The two lean-bodied studs Crash and Bond are pretty well-matched up here and they do exhibit some surprisingly good chemistry.  

             

 Scene three takes place in a gym where Alexy Tyler & Tristan Jaxx settle a score with a wrestling match.  Again if you've ever seen "sex wrestling" videos you know that the matches go on a little too long and the sex is a little disappointing if non-existent. Contact breaks out of this standard by shortening the match (maybe a little too quickly) and making the winner the eager bottom. We have a hankering for handsome Alexy Tyler so seeing him in action is always deciding factor in watching a video  and he lives up to our expectations. Tristan Jaxx is more the strong silent type which can work well but he needs to loosen up a little more. The other distracting point here is minor---the singlets the guys are wearing. They look too new and obviously don't look like they've seen any action on the mats. Jaxx & Tyler are pretty convincing with their wrestling moves but the freshness of their attire diminishes that and it makes the set piece seem less convincing. Next time Mustang, rough up the clothing a little before the scene.

            

 Marc Williams & Dominik Rider complete Contact with a boxing ring sex fantasy. As with the wrestling match the two have a very brief fight ending with am easy knockout. The loser is either hallucinating or fantasizing or its a real scene (hard to tell) but he is stripped down and taken advantage of by the winner. The sex action takes place in the ring which should satisfy the kinkier-minded viewers, especially when "the ropes" are employed.  Boxing in any kind of film is a little hard to capture accurately and while we weren't convinced that Rider & Williams knew what they were doing, it wasn't a deal-breaker.

                 


  Overall, Contact may lack a jaw-dropping memorable scene, but it does provide a good example of the talents of longtime porn star turned director-producer Paul Barresi.  He's been around long enough to know what works and how it should be filmed and still not make it seem like old-school or clunky porn.
