Here's the last of my columns on Hot Desert Knights, the Palm Springs-based DVD and video production company that was first to market with bareback features in the 'post-condom' age. (Parts one through five, featuring an interview with Hot Desert Knights actor and staffer, Chad Adams, appear in previous editions of Nightspots). Whether they're right or wrong in producing hard-core gay fuck flicks that boast an absence of latex is up to you to decide.
We can deliberate whether what HDK is doing is ethical, or healthy, or detrimental to safer-sex efforts in the era of AIDS and HIV. What's hard to deliberate is the fact that HDK produces some of the hottest, horniest, and well-produced fuck films this side of heaven. If you don't pop an immediate boner while watching their stuff, you're dead, or on your way there. Hell, even tina queens may be quivering as if they alternated lines of Viagra with bumps of crystal meth. Yes, HDK stuff is that good.
Here are the three I've watched (again and again).
Note: all titles reviewed were on DVD:
1) The Best of Hot Desert Knights Bareback, Volume One. This is a good place to start if you're interested in getting a sampling of the quality and sleaze level of HDK. The DVD contains scenes from several productions, and has everything from a simple, but hot two-way encounter (wherein the top comes inside the bottom and then felches him), to a group sex encounter filmed at Key West's Island House, to a dungeon fuck party filmed at an actual leather event in Palm Springs (very hot, very intense, and very real), to an interracial group sex scene that also shows a mechanical 'fuck machine' that's worth seeing for its novelty value, plus a huge assortment of previews that alone are worth the price of admission.
2) Raw, Wet, and Raunchy. If you're into water sports and/or fisting, this one will have you squirming. The DVD contains only two scenes (each about a half hour or so long), both peopled with hot men (HDK actors look like real people … manly, virile, hot … but none of the chiseled Adonis boy looks of so many other companies) in groups. The first has a bathtub as a centerpiece, the second a bunch of slings. You can figure out the rest.
3) Hole Hunters. Pure, hot group sex. Unscripted, unrehearsed and jaw-droppingly sexual. You see just about everything here: gang banging, water sports, felching, fisting, and more. These guys are tireless.
You can order directly from HDK at their web site:

And if you object to what the folks at this company are doing, just don't buy their stuff. It's all about freedom of choice.
