Sexual Tension: Volatile

This was thoroughly enjoyable and I found its full of sexual suspense without allowing to much graphical sex etc. This is something I have experienced many times in my own life with friends where a simple gesture, movement locking of eyes, looking at each other in the locker rooms or even close bodily contact like hugging and sharing a bath together and the sharing of beds when sleeping over, sets off a remarkable "electric sensation". Its not about being gay its about the feelings men sometime have for each other unintentionally and they cannot put a name to it. In this movie I experienced that again. I have to say Marco Berger really does a fabulous job. This was a deja vu for me. I would love him to do the same again allowing a bit more sexual interaction in full view but with the same innocence as in this movie. I would really look forward to that

This features a fairly unremarkable collection of six gay-themed short films that stretches from a young geeky guy infatuated with his very hunky tattooist through a visiting cousin causing some sexual tension and a shower-based feature that reminded me of a Christian Wilde video I saw years ago and... well you get the gist. Lots of lingering shower scenes, plenty of camerawork centred around the usually clad groin areas and, to be fair, an authentic mix of the good and not so good looking. The only stand-out one for me is the third film - which is actually quite entertaining. That features two friends who are helping to move one of them into a new apartment. The usual teasing conversations are going on about one of them never getting laid until he gets frustrated and demonstrates that much as he and his girlfriend love to have sex, he simply has difficulties getting a very large peg into an ordinary sized hole. Sightly embarrassed by his teasing, his friend decides to show him how his rather rough and tumble approach might not be the most effective (or romantic) and now proceeds to "train" him - in varying states of undress - how the couple might achieve their goal. That story raises a smile! Otherwise, the productions are all a bit basic and seen together the stories are all a little too soft-porn/voyeurist/fetishist for me. Still, the third one just about makes it all worth watching.

Different life situations discovered in different versions. Friendship, fascination about other, help to the other, familiar situations. And the ball of feeligs as gift, more than the stories. no doubts, stories of sensuality, in different forms and levels but , more important, an admirable delicacy for each detail.

When I found this movie, I don't know it was compilation at first. I was disappointing but after watched it segment to segment it turns good, even great.

I can't decided what is my best segment. Every segment perfectly great. great writing, great directing, and one of the most important great acting. I don't know if all of the actors are gay or straight but I think it doesn't matter because they played it very well and convincing.

I called it hot teasing because it's highly erotic approaching. They story run well and innovative in every segment. The best part of it, every main story per segment almost we can find in every day life. I like this approaching, make us feel close to what directors and actors want us to know. It could happen anytime and anywhere beyond our consciousness.

When I downloaded this I hadn't realised that I'd already seen it years ago. I didn't care more for it this time round especially in the context of having seen much more of Berger's work since.

He's a one-theme director. The theme is straight boys dancing towards a possible hook up together. This worked in The Blond One because the guys actually did get it on together. Here, and in films subsequent to El Rubio, the build up was either too long (The Astronaut Lovers) or simply not believable (Horseplay). So it was here. In the end, nothing happened in any of the films. They didn't engender tension but frustration in the viewer.

Some of the guys were hot such as the tattooist. Others far less so, particularly the two guys in the last film.

After the third film, I fast forwarded. I don't regret having done so. The two guys in the shower was particularly poor. The film just stopped. I mean, it was just two straight guys sharing limited hot water. I didn't get it.

Not a success and not a collection I'd recommend.
