'Dangerous' First for NakedSword

When Michael Lucas' Dangerous Liaisons came out this spring, we were blown over by the lush visuals, raw sexual energy and herd of handsome men that populated his adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos's 18th century tale. And while I got an unrelenting hard-on watching Ryan Phillipe in Cruel Intentions, it's M. Lucas' fashion-world-based interpretation of the novel that made me shoot.

Detractors claim that good cinematography and stylish clothes are a waste of time in porn. But who hasn't dreamed of the Ambercrombie catalogue -- or a Helmut Newton shoot or Gucci ad -- turning into a full-on porno?

Gay porn VOD site NakedSword.com has been exemplary in getting the best films from the studio system online earlier -- the extras packed mini-site devoted to Dangerous Liaisons is a great reason to become a member. But even non-members can view the kind of behind-the-scenes material that makes porn so damned fascinating -- and hot. Did I mention the intro scene is free?

NakedSword.com is rolling out the scenes for members on a staggered basis throughout the next week, giving the movie the soap-operatic feel it deserves. Those of you who are impatient, of course, can also watch it all at once.
