BODY:

I've had a crush on Dale DaBone since seeing him play opposite Nina Hartley in Adam and Eve's "Hardbound." And although that film is easily one of the most charming, humorous romantic features of its genre, I still had to sit through a few typical hardcore scenes (girl/girl, guy/girl/girl, etc.) to get some choice glimpses at the hunk I first admired in the pages of "Playgirl."

Well, Lennox Films -- a division of Inpulse Pictures, which makes films "especially for women who love and enjoy men" (bless 'em!)-- has now produced a true showcase for Dale's talents (and not just his obvious talents, the dude can act, too!) in a film called "Anticipation."

In this film, Dale plays a bartender who embodies the ultimate object of desire for female staff and customers at a downtown night club. He seduces two lucky femmes right there in the club (one in front of the bar, the other on the pool table), with some tittilating techniques that are virtually unheard of in mainstream adult.

He strips and strokes himself off for the pleasure of one woman and asks her to state her desires ("Do you want to see me strip? Do you want me to dance for you?"), and promises the other he's going to make her blush (he makes good on his promise -- and how).

It's this brand of seductive foreplay, along with the long, lingering shots of the male form and the use of woman-geared pleasuring techniques (such as prolonged clit simulation and toy usage) that truly distinguish the film.

And whenever Dale's not onscreen, a stable of studs each has his turn with a female clubgoer. These include hunky Eric Masterson and a young hottie named Gavin Marx.

Also, I really have to hand it to the women in this film. The tagline of "Anticipation," after all, is "Women Think About Sex As Much As Men Do," and among the feisty femmes we see here is one who brings her malfunctioning car to a hunky mechanic -- only to have her fun with the mechanic, then fix the car herself!

CONCLUDING WORDS: Ladies, it's time we took the driver's seat when it comes to picking our porn. And as long we've been "anticipating" titles like this one, they were well worth the wait!
