Loren Takes on....
Sharpshooter Studios
by Loren McLeod
Don’t Just Stand There. Do Something.
Strip one-on-one basketball. Your opponent gets a basket, you’ve got to remove an item of clothing. What a concept. Sexy and playful. Strip poker on an outdoor basketball court. Hot idea. Sharpshooter Studios thought so, so they made a video. Six models, three games. Men bouncing balls, covering, blocking, shooting, scoring…whatever they do in basketball games…and taking off their clothes. Slowly. One item at a time, until they’re bouncing balls, covering, blocking, shooting and scoring…naked. The obvious but still cleverly-titled “Nude Men Can Jump” is sexy stuff, and not just because it features Chad Connors at his most high school jockish. No one touches his opponent below the waist. None of the players gets an erection. Loser doesn’t get fucked. There’s nothing hardcore about it. There’s almost nothing softcore about it, except there is, eventually, plenty of male frontal nudity. The fellas concentrate on playing ball, not getting balled. And it is sooooooo HOT. Sharpshooter was onto something. I thought so, and enough other people did to warrant the production of similar titles.
“Spike it Naked,” “The Naked Football League,” “Military Muscle,” I haven’t seen them all but imagine they’re all variations on the strip one-on-one basketball theme. Men, most of them handsome, even more of them fit, engaging in a sports competition or some similar all-male activity…and taking off their clothes. Sexy and playful. Strip poker on the volleyball court and football field. Strip poker in basic training. Sharpshooter Studios was on a roll.
“How The West Was Naked,” cool! “Super Men Behind Bars,” loved the guards, “Naked in the City,” OK. “Junkyard Boyz,” Eh. “Knaked Knights,” wait a sec.... “Hunks on Haunted Hill,” are they kidding? “Battle For The Naked Scorpion,” Yikes! Still sexy and still playful, though increasingly odd and, OK, really silly. Nevertheless, Sharpshooter keeps cranking ‘em out so someone’s gotta be watching. Maybe the appeal is, OK, the models, some recognizable from the pages of “Playgirl” and other skin magazines, some from adult films and some, mercifully, from nowhere else. Or maybe some people really enjoy watching naked men battle moat monsters. Fine. Whatever. But they’ve lost me.
Bear in mind I have not seen every title, but it seems to me Sharpshooter began with an idea, strip poker on a basketball court, that worked so well they applied it to other settings with other models. For a while it worked, for me. Then they ran out of ideas and now fill large portions of their videos with long sections where each model poses separately. There’s less of the traditionally non-sexual activity, or it’s become more outrageous as in “Muscle Jock Challenge,” faster and less titillating clothes removal and longer posing sessions. That the models grow erections as they pose doesn’t distinguish those sections as there’s no masturbation or anal play. The models aren’t interviewed and don’t share interesting stories or fantasies. How disappointing was “College Swim Team.” Ditto “Jock Strip,” which features two sets of four guys quickly stripping out of t-shirts and shorts, the standard individual posing and a scene where all the guys shower at once and it’s hard to distinguish one from another. There may have been more, but I shut it off during the shower scene. Oh, and in “College Swim Team” each posing scene begins with the model wearing a Mardi Gras mask. What was that all about?
Still, Sharpshooter keeps cranking ‘em out so someone’s gotta be watching. Maybe the appeal is, OK, the models, or maybe some people find the antics on “Naked Webcam Weekend” or “College Muscle Jocks” or “Frat Boys Wet & Wild,” all of which appear to be very similar to each other, genuinely interesting and exciting. I don’t know. I do know what would make me watch, and perhaps purchase, another Sharpshooter title. Produce “Nude Men Can Jump II.” I’m serious. Recreate it, down to the periodic black and white sections, using six other models. Honestly. Return to the original strip one-on-one basketball theme featuring men, most of them handsome, even more of them fit, engaging in a sports competition or some similar all-male activity…and taking off their clothes. Lose the wacky “fantasy” settings. Lose the tiresome “frat” themes. Return to the basketball and volleyball courts. Get back on the football field. Reassemble the cast of “Hollywood Hunks Naked Hideaway” and make ‘em play strip tennis, two at a time, and then doubles. I could stand to see some of these models more than once. Even Chad Connors if he’d return to his former slim, fit self.
And above all, lose the posing. Let the other studios make “Underwear Uncovered.” Sharpshooter was all about the activity. It should be again. Their models shouldn’t just stand there. They should do something.
