John Rutherford's Hawai'i features romantic and breathtaking sex between ultra-masculine men. The romance derives from the synergy of setting, light, chemistry, mood and music rather than from any specific amorous attachment between the models. The sex is quite vanilla, but it surely does not suffer on that account.
    The opening scene between Gage Weston and cover model Mitch Branson is one for the memory books. The day is overcast, and the gray-green sky turns the pool the same color, so that there's hardly a demarcation between foreground and horizon. To invoke Emily Dickinson, it is as if the water holds but the men themselves, and eternity. Branson surges into a contender's position for "Hottest Man on the Planet" for his tough and tender coupling with Weston. Fans of chest hair may cum simply by looking at him; his may be the best hairy chest in porn since Logan Reed. If ever one wanted someone to sit on his face, it would be exactly as it is done here, with Branson above and Weston below.
    Luke Garrett and Darin Hawk occupy a simple hardwood bench that's the only man-made object for miles around, in scene two. Hawk looks like he could have just stepped out of a traditional gray West Point cadet's uniform, but there are probably not many West Point cadets who would match his performance out of uniform.
    Scene three is a three-way that combines Adam Champ with newcomer Eric Valentin and brings Gage Weston back for an encore. Valentin has muscle from top to toe but he's so smooth, it's jarring. This scene does not have even as much as a bench to ground it in the real world. There's a bit more light in the sky as the three connect on a green lawn, with Valentin and Weston flipping and handsome Champ fucking Valentin, whom everyone cums on in the end.
    The sun finally comes out when Luke Garrett returns in the final scene, paired with COLT regular Carlo Masi, on a beach strewn with lava rocks and coarse sand. They suck each other in the breaking surf, discarding their skimpy swimming trucks so Carlo can fuck Luke in several positions. The lack of rimming was a disappointment and the sex seemed more rushed than in the other scenes.
    I slammed Rock Hard's snore-inducing music score to Brotherhood, but he redeems himself in Hawai'i, with a new-agey composition that's the perfect complement to the men and the scenery. The first two scenes in particular are a must-see.
