Director Rob Greco continues to eschew the depiction of Black and Latino models as one-dimensional thugz on the DL, choosing instead to let them be guys who aren't afraid to acknowledge having a sexual attraction to other guys, whether it's an exclusive orientation or not. In Times Square Swagger, this choice bit of NYC geography serves as the focal point around which guys meet and hook up.

Just getting into the city, Justin learns that his buddy got the date wrong, and now he has nowhere to stay. Justin's hangdog look gets him the sympathy of Nubius, who offers him a place to hang out. Only after they get to Nubius' place does Justin learn that Nubius' invitation has strings attached. that's not a problem for Justin, who joins Nubius in jacking off to some straight porn then lets his head be guided to Nubius' cock. When Justin gets his backfield in motion, you suspect it's not the first time he's been fucked, and when he lets Nubius cum in his mouth, that equals Q.E.D.

Eclectiq has his friend Envy on his mind, so he calls to see if he can come over. It's hot outside, so Envy proposes that they fight fire with fire by generating some heat between themselves. Eclectiq is one helluva handsome guy — in the Will Smith mold — and if you've watched Envy in action before, you know he becomes electric when the right buttons get pushed. The surprise in this scene was to see Envy top Eclectiq after getting fucked himself for a spell.

The sidewalk café is short of tables, so Jamaican Flava asks Smokey if he can sit at his table. Learning that Jamaican Flava is visiting from Baltimore, Smokey offers to show him around the city. First stop: Smokey's apartment. Their pheromones must have been working overtime because Jamaican Flava jumps on the bed and Smokey jumps on JF. Jamaican Flava has an ass made for fucking, and Smokey does just that. Wham, bam and the rest of it, ending with a big, thick cumshot in JF's mouth.

Venom and Seduction meet up in a ticket line, and decide that rather than standing in line for three hours, there's other stuff to do. They end up in Seduction's crib and Venom find some porn on a cable channel. A quick testing of the waters and they decide they'd rather do it than watch it. this is the best and longest scene of the film, with Venom ultimately sluicing through Seduction's innards like he was trying to plug the BP oil leak.

Rob Greco always serves up sex that's raw and real, with extra attention to rimming, and Times Square Swagger is no exception. If you doubt, just watch Venom put Seduction on his tiummy, The models deliver 100% and the order and pacing of the scenes is exactly right.

The DVD has scene selection; 90 minutes.
