Corbin Fisher: Rocky Tate and Dylan Tag-Team Roman in ‘Sharing Roman’

Everyone is dismissing this so far, but this one is a keeper for me. First of all, I find all three guys attractive — I mean, that’s kind of a “who cares” detail, but it does help. Second, they went back to some Corbin basics here, particularly the foot fetish. Third, scenes with multiple partners almost always work better when there is one focused bottom. People are often saying on message boards, “Should have been a flip,” but I really think that most of the time, they are not talking about the performers but about themselves. THEY fantasize about flipping, and they want to see the scene mirror their fantasies, which has a certain logic but fails to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the performers. The one thing a flip is guaranteed to do is expose any weaknesses. Roman is probably a good flipper, but I don’t think that would have added anything unless he creampied the bottom, which almost never happens with a top who is bottoming in the same scene.

Of course, everyone knows that I start at the end and work backwards. Rocky cums from fucking and delivers his reliable explosive cumshot, but a bonus is that Roman cums first from getting fucked, and cums all over Dylan’s face, then gets his back sprayed by Rocky who pulls out with no editing at all and almost no jacking off. Perfectly timed. No doubt the scene would have been better if Dylan had shown some real enthusiasm in that moment of the facial, and I admit that he didn’t. But the cumshot was copious, some of it went into his mouth, and they kept him on his back with mouth drenched for what was left of the scene, including some kissing with Roman. So if Dylan was waiting to spit out the cum, they definitely made him perform through it a while. It’s not going to satisfy someone who is focused on him or on swallowing, which he never appeared to do, but what I loved was watching Roman and Rocky do their thing back to back. And the camerawork was very good, with Rocky’s load captured and replayed from a second angle. Roman also took Dylan’s load partly in his mouth which, again, is not going to satisfy someone who wants to see someone swallow, but for someone with minimal expectations, it looked good.

Lastly, this is small, but I like it when threeways feature a guy riding one raw cock, then dismounting and mounting a second cock with no editing. As far into the bareback era as we have progressed, there still aren’t that many scenes where that happens, not taking into account the sea of crappy self-produced videos. (Even if some of those providers are getting better at what they do, it’s never going to be my favorite thing.) Just like fucking and cumming are shot separately the majority of the time, it’s frequently true that the second top is not required to be “on” all the way through the scene. One top does most of the fucking, then the other one takes his turn in a prolonged sequence, and any back-and-forth gets constructed in the editing room. Someone may read this and have a whole list of scenes that contradict me, but I’m just talking about something that’s still rare in the studios that I focus on.

So this scene is not the be-all, end-all, but it is a strong B+ contender. @sasuk388:disqus I still LIKE Dylan, but love would be putting it too strongly for me in a scene where he’s trying to top. Some of the criticism is valid — someone like Connor was a very limited performer, but you can’t accuse him of looking like he didn’t want to be there. Here’s one very small, very specific performance note that would make a world of difference: If you watch NFL games, analysts are always talking about how the great quarterbacks control the game with their eyes. They know that the defense is looking at them, and the really brilliant quarterbacks are able to pretend to be focused on one thing while they’re really thinking about something else. The lesser QBs are totally transparent, you can read their thoughts, and they get picked off because their opponents run toward their line of sight and wait for the ball.

Like good quarterbacking, a good porn star has to direct our attention with his movements and his sight lines. When Rocky is on camera, he is ALWAYS looking at Roman and looks interested in what his costars are doing, even when he is on the sideline. When Dylan is on camera, especially when Roman is straddling him, you can tell that he’s thinking more than he is looking. His eyes are not focused on anything that we should be focused on — he’s always looking either beyond the camera or at the small of Roman’s back or even his hipbone, making it look like he’s just trying to stay hard and not blow the scene. As a performer, you have got to ask yourself, “What does the viewer want to see me looking at to be convinced that I care and find this hot?” There’s a whole Youtube video about how well Oprah “performed” listening, and it made her a billionaire. Dylan has to learn to perform hunger.

I don’t know what I was thinking, going on so long about this scene, lol

I agree, so I’m not sure why you wrote this in reply to me. All I spoke of was the performance. I am not into hearing about the politics of the performers either. I miss the days when the visuals were all we got, plus the occasional interview in Manshots magazine (which never, as far as I recall, went in a political direction).

I emailed the founder/editor Jerry Douglas, who was super nice. He even invited me to a party for the cast of the Off Broadway show Making Porn. I didn’t go. I only slightly regret it. When you’re young, sometimes life hands you too many opportunities, and you can’t pursue them all. That time in my life was pretty awesome, so my regrets are all of the “that would have been nice” variety.
