Review

Ass Wide Open [Note to reader: insert your favorite Tom Cruise joke here yourself; I’m certainly not risking a law suit!] follows the marvelous Ass on the Line as the second title in the new Hot Hand fisting line, directed by Raging Stallion daddy Chris Ward.

These videos have Ward's inimitable style all over them. The performers are luscious, piping hot stud-muffins that are good enough to eat, with their own cream on top. The camera work, lighting, music, sets and editing are all superb. There’s no scuzziness here!

These videos also clearly have a sex-positive attitude toward fisting. Elsewhere, fisting is depicted as alienated from “normal” sucking and fucking; it’s a violent act - the bottom is “asking for it”, in the worst sense. Not here! These guys are “asking for it” literally, as they suck, fuck and fist each other with abandon and delight.

The video is divided into four segments, each with its own subtitle. Industrial Strength Ass stars Buck Philips, who is, after Michael Brandon, the most experienced porn star of the cast. With a feathery coat of black chest hair and corded veins on his thighs and arms, Philips is vision of masculinity. His partner is Aaron Tanner, an adorable sun-bleached blond with an already gaping asshole.

To open the scene, Philips gives Tanner’s hole a thorough tongue washing. He stands to reveal a rock-hard erection, which he rubs against Tanner’s ass. We expect a fuck, but we don’t get it, which is a little disappointing. What we do get is a slow, steady and tantalizing penetration of Tanner’s ass with Philips’ hand, with pauses only for some very sexy smiles and sensual kisses.

Then, oh… my… god.

Fisting is not for the faint of heart, but what happens next would give the strongest stallion palpitations. “Piston fucking” is when a guy slams his cock in and out of an ass - full force, full speed and hands-free. That’s intense enough, but it can’t compare to “piston fisting”. Philips stretches out each arm and then alternatingly thrusts them deep into Tanner like two barreling battering rams. Remember how you felt the first time you saw the Alien explode out of John Hurt’s stomach? This is just the same, except in reverse!

The volume level comes down for Ass on a Cross, which can evoke very weird religious images. Nate Summers, a primo beefy stud, first plays with a giant dildo and then spreads himself out on the “cross” in question - an X-shaped sling-like apparatus. Philips appears and quickly works his fist in. Here, though, he keeps his hand inside. In fact, Philips reaches in Tanner’s ass so far and rummages around for so long, that when he does pull out, you expect him to be holding Baby Jessica!

Big, black and beautiful sex-pig Simon Cox goes solo for Ass Over the Top, plowing himself first with an even bigger dildo and then a massive Manrammer. The scene really should be called “Gather Your Rosebuds While Ye May”. “Rosebudding” is when the asshole turns itself inside out during a fuck - it can be a gruesome sight. Cox has a more prominent rosebud than Charles Foster Kane! When Cox pushes his toy in, his hole is shaped like a crater, but when he pulls out, it looks more like a volcano. Cox could shit a subway car and never feel it.

In total contrast, Ass Squeeky Tight is just that. It starts with Michael Brandon giving dark-skinned cutie Vince Verone a power-fuck as pale-faced Ryan Lexington looks on. It’s a first-class fuck, but oddly there are no penetration close-ups, and you miss them.

Once Verone’s done, Lexington takes the “place of honor”. This is one of Lexington’s first videos, and one wonders if it’s his fisting debut too - his hole is tight. Verone and Brandon must slowly work their way in, one finger at a time. Finally, Verone tenderly squeezes in his whole hand and gently works the rectum. Brandon then takes over, and sucks Lexington off to a gushing climax with his fist still inside. The signs are unmistakable - we’ve just seen the birth of a new star.

Even with its cringing moments and minor disappointments, Ass Wide Open shows fisting as something so sensual, so intensely pleasurable that anyone would have to be intrigued.
