Brysen and Jack are undoubtedly two of Sean Cody’s hottest men. But did Sean Cody trade on their star power alone to make the scene work?
OK. There’s no sugar coating this so let’s talk truth from jump: the scene is a flop. And not the flip it should have been.
It’s reminiscent of Nixon bottoming for Daniel when the hype and the hope was squandered by “parlor tricks,” a lack of direction, sloppy execution, and most surprising today, a nearly total lack of any vibe between them.
The opening yack yack is Brysen spreading the elements of a sundae on Jack and later licking them off until Jack does an abbreviated version of the same. What we’re seeing is a gimmick. What we’re not seeing is any chemistry. That sound you hear is the collective hope balloon for this scene as it starts to deflate. Already.
Cut to Jack at full mast. Whatever Mr. Camera is saying to Jack is muffled by that pesky mic issue again. Mercifully, Brysen comes into view and immediately gets his mouth on Jack’s throbber. Brysen demonstrates his world-class oral skills, even deep throating every centimeter of Jack. But even with a mid-hummer kiss, it feels flat.
Brysen hikes up Jack’s knees and plows right into Jack in one long steady push. Despite having taken Daniel and Jess before, the combination of Brysen’s length and girth is something Jack isn’t, nor wasn’t (didn’t anyone think to make sure he stretched himself out) prepared for.
Brysen pulls out, adds more spit, and goes back in. To his credit, Jack keeps his dick hard. But those are definitely not moans of pleasure we’re hearing from him. Sadly, the focus is going in and out right along with Brysen’s dick in extreme close-ups that deprive us of most of the physical charms of them both,
This morphs into bent over doggie on the arm of the sofa. Jack’s facial expressions indicates he’s sort of checked out. Brysen tries to show off Jack’s hole but blocks it with his arm. The unusual view of Brysen’s wilted bone doesn’t bode well either. But he brings his dick to back to life — and back into Jack.
Brysen has dialed his speed and power way down from his usual beast mode but still, Jack can’t contain the fact this ain’t working for him any more than it’s working for us. Brysen keeps his dick inside and they walk backward to the chair for the reverse cowboy rodeo.
For anyone other than Brysen, the 6’4″ and 225 pound mass of Jack would have crushed his bone in this position. That proves not to be the issue. The issue is that damn chair is way too small to allow for Jack to thrust or lift his balls and as a result, this usually camera-friendly position just flips us the finger.
The guys move to the floor for doggie turned into crab fucking without a pole in hole shot to be seen. Finally, Jack is on his knees and fires off a load. Sometime later, Brysen sprays his nut all over Jack’s cheeks. The framing of both those cumshots, like this scene, leaves more than a bit to be desired. Hoping for better luck in round two.
We start off with another curious directorial choice: having two guys who lack chemistry try to fake it under the shower. Despite how round one went, the dirty talk is flying but no one’s bone has any lift-off. This segment should have never aired. Perhaps with the expectations of the scene now on the ground, there’s wasn’t any space on the cutting room floor for this footage.
Back to the scene of the crime for round two with a hummer swap. There are some good visuals here, though very choppy editing of some “curious” framing choices dilutes what could have been a strong opening, but we can still pick up some diamonds in the rough.
Moving to the couch, it’s regular cowboy this time. Not confined by the arms of the chair as before, Jack can maneuver himself up and down at his own accord and this results in the best visuals of the day so far with a good mix of shots. Once Brysen starts fucking up into Jack, however, let me say this, if you haven’t already: turn down the volume.
Clearly, even the basic mechanics have been a challenge for our men. So why anyone thought having 5’10” Brysen picking up Big Jack and fuck him mid-air was a good idea anywhere but in a parallel universe is beyond me. It was also beyond Brysen despite his strength. To their credit, they both initially stay hard while it looks like Jack is hanging on for dear life – because he was.
That little gimmick did just what you would expect: it took the focus off the what we’re here for and Brysen’s dick spends the next few minutes outside of Jack’s hole until the guys can get back into the scene and the blood flow can get back into their dicks.
A modified piledriver on the floor is next. Brysen gets in a few jabs but his cock is mostly out when a janky edit takes to a now hard Jack stroking himself home. Brysen even reaches down to give him a hand. There is only one view: a closeup. And par for the course at this point, the beginning of Jack’s cumshot was missed all together with no second view.
Immediately, Brysen makes a “tunnel” for his cock, sandwiching his cock between Jack’s hole and the palm of his hand. He shoots a good load all over Jack’s taint and there are two views of it that capture it all. And somehow fitting after all of this, Jack ATMing Brysen after this is one of the best things we’ve seen today.
BTS follows and it’s just as awkward as you would expect now that we know what we know. If Sean Cody had put as much effort into the positions, preparation for Jack, properly lighting the room, and actually directing the scene instead of passively recording whatever was in front of them as they did with the gimmicks, we’d all be a little a lot happier right now.

Another take: see what John Tegan over at GayDailyHot has to say about this scene.
To be completely honest, I prefer Jack as a top. I know there are many fans of gay porn who likes to see guys who are normally tops bottom and I totally respect that. I love a versatile performer in gay films as much as the next person. But there are certain performers who actually excels at being tops and I enjoy them in that position. Sean Cody’s Jack happens to be one of that performers who I highly enjoy watching in the more “dominated” position…especially when he’s fucking a dude smaller then himself, which is pretty easily seeing how big he is. LOL. My personal favorite scene of Jack’s from Sean Cody was his pairing with the hot, adorable Asian Michael. The natural chemistry between the two of them was pure FIRE!! Watching Jack using his size and strength at subduing an overwhelmingly eager Michael totally exciting to watch mainly because Jack was in his comfort zone. The main reason why I enjoy watching Jack top is that he gives off the impression he enjoys what he’s doing and is totally comfortable doing it. He doesn’t appear to be comfortable bottoming and if he isn’t comfortable with it, I’m certainly not going to get any pleasure watching it. Others may view that opinion differently, and I certainly respect that, but I don’t need to see every top bottom. Just like I don’t need to see every bottom top.. Jack is a great top. IMO keep him that way.
I agree with your entire analysis. ‘Nough said. Next . . .
I still enjoyed this scene, even though not the slam dunk it should have been. I love Brysen a a top and Jack as a bottom. But as you point out, Jack just did not seem ready to get slammed which is a shame, as Brysen’s rhythm and prowess was a bit trammeled by Jack’s clear physical pain. At first, I rolled my eyes at the Sundae but Brysen just proved how sexy and filthy he was – the way he had the sprinkles on his tongue, and spat out his cream on to Jack to me was pure sex and transcended the silliness of the moment. Ditto, the shower scene… just love seeing Brysen being filthy and sexy. HE NEEDS TO COME BACK AND FUCK RANDY!!!!
I prefer seeing the 6′ 4″ muscle god Jack as a top, but if he’s going to give up his fine ass to a guy, I’m glad the guy is the muscular and awesome performer Brysen.
