Review

Don't be put off by the rather graphically simplistic artwork and so-so cover (sorry, Factory workers), because Castro Cock is - pardon the expression - loads of dirty, cruise-heavy fun. As with most Factory Video productions, sets, plot and other sorts of fuss are kept to a minimum. Instead, the crew - led by co-owner director Frank Parker and co-owner videographer Scott Morris - choose to concentrate on well-shot hardcore amateur or semi-pro sex, with an emphasis on "regular"-looking guys and bountiful oral cumshots. Castro Cock is one of their most effective to date.

The guys are very, very "regular" looking, with some veering off to the hardcore street-punk side of things. The couplings are cued up quite well, too. Aaron and Chris are up first. The wiry Aaron cruises the stockier long-haired Chris right on Castro street. They head back to an apartment (revealed on the DVD extras to be Frank Parker's) and go right at it. Kissing, fondling, decent cock-sucking, and a quick mounting end with Chris taking Aaron's nice-sized load in the kisser before going back down on the slippery jizz-covered cock.

Slightly-older Beau brings home Goth punk Danny to the crib. After some mutual kissing on the sofa - nice to see - Danny starts on Beau's bojangler. Danny has slicked back longish hair, pierced tits and tongue, and sports lots of Goth jewelry and big-ass combat boots (which remain on throughout). Danny gives Beau's pretty thick meat a good going over. They eventually flip around and continue carrying on. Beau lets loose a thick wad in Danny's mouth by scene's end.

The video's "roughest" scene is next. By rough I mean sexually, not visually. Vince (goateed, hairy average body and dick, straight trade feel), calls up Trenton (slim, blonde-ish) to come on over. In less than two seconds there he is. Vince is a real potty mouth, telling Trenton to "suck that shit" and goading him to take it all. Soon, Vince says "lemme taste your shit" (meaning Trenton's dick) and Trenton gets some very nice oral service. Lots of filth from Vince, who eventually pounds Trenton like a madman, ending with both splurting big loads. Vince holds Trenton's head as he dumps in his wide-open mouth; Trenton smacks out a load and glazes the back of Vince's head.

Lastly, a solo from the super-cute but very punked-out Nova. Nova is slim but muscular, smooth, sports bleached eyebrows, several tatts and piercings (including his 'taint), and a modified mohawk. He's definitely gay trade, but if you dig that look like I sometimes do, he's sure to get you sitting up to take notice. He spends alot of time addressing the camera, and I couldn't have been happier. His dick is only average in size, but the nice ripples on his abs and smooth arms - not to mention an absolutely killer smile - more than made up for it. He soon is sucking off a purple jelly dildo which soon finds its way up his ass. (Nova works for a "machine dildo" company, and I assume has some experience.) Soon an even larger dildo makes his way up his hole; then he rides one suction cupped to the wall. After a while, punk boy is ready, and he lets loose a nice thick wad that splats him on the mouth and forehead. Then he scoops it up and scarfs some down. Flashing his great smile, he flips the bird at the camera and tells us to "fuck off, fuckers - it's over." Way to go, SuperNova.

The DVD sports some nice extras, including Factory Video's "click-n-cum" chaptering, allowing both scene access and jumping right to the cumshots - always a highlight in a Factory title. "Looking Over Frank's Shoulder" is an 8-minute featurette that features some great bloopers (eyeball the camera and face Frank's semi-amused scorn) and even an intro to Parker's black lab. And for once, we get a real photo gallery from a studio! The images are crisp and clean (well, you know what I mean) and are actual pro stills rather than the cheap-shit image grabs many studios pass off as a "gallery."
