TLA Video Review: 3 Stars!!! Don’t mess with these guys! Joe Oppedisano has made a name for himself as a photographer able to bring the sweet smell of testosterone to his work. This DVD goes behind the scenes for a look at the sweaty action that goes into his over-the-top, masculinity-drenched projects. His 2007 book, Testosterone, set him firmly among the ranks of our favorite gay photographers. Opting for genuine athletes, boxers, trainers, and wrestlers, he showcases men with naturally fit bodies; men who work hard and have the ability to take down their sweatiest opponents in the ring.
Knockout! takes us ringside at the world famous “Gleason’s Gym” in NYC. All of the models appear to be straight but they clearly love the attention and doting they receive from the gay photog. Oppedisano believes that the cookie-cutter hottie you find in most books is not what really turns us on. He goes for the big, sometimes furry, rough, tattooed, and very intimidating looks of a fighter. These men prove to be tender and kind though and are more than eager to please the photographer as they are rubbed down with oil and manhandled to get the perfect shot.
The interactions between the men are very sexy and the camera lingers over their bodies to create some drool-worthy segments. My favorites are two brothers who are clearly very comfortable with each other and could not be more erotic. But there are also some heavily inked guys, some deliciously hairy guys, and a couple that are just ripped to shreds.
These jocks love to show off their bodies but some viewers might find this erotica entry to be on the tame side because it is not outrightly gay and there is no full nudity. Despite that lack of full frontal, I was caught up in the celebration of their bodies and this DVD kept me up for the count.
