There is no book that suffers from misreading more than John Knowles's A Separate Peace. The novel takes place at the start of World War II, at an all-boys boarding school in New Hampshire. When most people write about that book they write about war, the encroaching darkness that is enveloping the boys, blah, blah, as opposed to what the book is really about: butt sex. Gene -- a pig bottom if there ever was one -- is madly in love with Phineas, in fact everyone on campus is in love with Phineas, and Gene so wants to get into the boy's pants that he is willing to kill him. For some strange reason, folks who read that novel want to deny the homoerotic tension, tension that is part and parcel of any single sex environment. Saying that there is homoerotic tension in single sex environments is far from saying that everyone at an all-boys school is a drunk crazed cum fiend; however, is there a better place for homosex to go on than a place where all the folk are the same gender? In Chip Daniels's Man Academy, there is no pretense about what a single sex institution really is about. The main character, played by Sean Storm (pictured right -- and you've seen his debut in Nightcharm's Amateur pages; his booty is one of the Seven Wonders), is sent there to be "made into a man." The academy guys know what being a man is all about. Is there any more "manly" pursuit than taking a twelve-inch penis in your butt? Like most porn vids, Man Academy suffers from setting issues. While a suspension of disbelief is required for most porn, it is hard to see an academy for men in a setting that looks like some inn or resort. If you are not an interior decorator and want something to get you through Friday night, then Man Academy is the film for you. Even if you are an interior decorator, get the video for the kissing. In most gay porn, kissing is either non-existent (rip my booty apart, but please do not kiss me) or laughable because you get, at best, dog lapping: tongues out and lapping at each other like canines drinking water. In Man Academy, the kissing is natural and enthusiastic. The shining example of this is the scene between Sean Storm and Tuck Johnson. Tuck Johnson is making a name for himself and it is easy to see why. He has a distinctive face, a body that demands to be licked, and he seems to enjoy what he's doing (or at the very least he is a very good actor!) Johnson is required to check Sean's work -- Sean has been told to clean the room of the man in charge of the Academy -- and after the inspection, Sean and Tuck decide to inspect body parts. Sean's smaller body nicely contrasts with Tuck's, and it is clear that these two men are into each other. They don't chatter needlessly (o baby, give it to me). What we do hear is heavy breathing and the sound of skin against skin. Also, we witness the opening of Johnson's butthole, an act that made me drop my donut. He is under Storm, who is trying his best to administer to Johnson's johnson, and Johnson's rectum, with no prompting, opens up. I mean really opens up. It is a big licentious butt wink, the kind that makes men either propose marriage or a cup of coffee. When they move to the copulating, Sean is a bottom and Johnson is the top, and they tear into each other. They kiss fully and devour each other -- it's surprising that either one has lips at the end of the scene. There are multiple positions, but best one is with Storm riding Johnson. The video would be perfect if it ended here, but there is one more scene -- an orgy scene that pales next to the Johnson-Storm coupling, because of editing that does not allow a viewer to see who is doing who. The Johnson-Storm scene is a nice cap to a rather decent video. Chad Johnson (left), a porn star of the 80's who worked in a few William Higgins videos, returns to video as the head of the Academy. Chad looks mighty tasty, and when he gives Clint Fox (and yes he is!) a mild spanking, I felt naughty. Ryan Reed, according to George Fleece, sounds like a "nellie queen" (he does), and to cure him, Fleece offers his penis for oral administration. Now there is a way to butch up! The men are hot (an adjective that needs to be put in storage for 100 years. Here is a replacement: tangy!), and the sex is the sort that would take place in the armed forces if only they would allow "nellie queens" to be out and about. Do your duty and send a copy of Man Academy to the next secretary of defense and tell him/her to get rid of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Order your copy now! *
