Mickey's Quickies

A Peek inside adult video with Mickey Skee

When we last left off, Brad Patton and Jason Kingsley were playing a couple who were having a bit of a sexual crisis. They don't want to "cheat" on each other and they've gone to couples counseling (with a counselor played by Joe Gage) for help. They were invited to watch how a three-way relationship works with cute red-head Pete Ross, long-cocked Justin Gemineye and Timmy Thomas (who made a splash playing a cute innocent Mormon lad with Sammy Case and won Best Three-way at the GayVN Awards along with Marcus Iron for Buckle-Roos.)

The story, penned by director Jerry Douglas, focuses on the troubles of a long-term gay couple, and for the two stars, some of the storyline rings true.

For example, Brad's character in the story gives up smoking for his boyfriend. In real life, Brad's ex-boyfriend smokes, and Brad hates it, but they're meeting after this shoot in Ibiza to celebrate Brad's birthday -- and perhaps see if they can work things out.

"Maybe he'll give up smoking for me? Some of the parallels with me work really well, I just doubt that couples counseling would work for us," Brad smiles. "Love and relationship are all about sacrifice, and having a relationship with a porn star is no more or less difficult than any other gay man, some issues are the same."

"I'm an exhibitionist at heart, I always wanted to do this," Brad said about his porn career, as he's being made up to look three years younger than the day before with a new hair style. "I've had good and bad experiences on the set, but I think I've reached a level where I can say yes or no to working with guys who say they are straight."

Handsome co-star Jason Kingsley has had to deal with guys looking at female porn in order to do a scene with him in past movies and recalled, "It seems like the interest is not being reciprocated, so that's tough, but in this business you have to get an erection on call and so you manipulate your thoughts into various spaces to do that."

Jason learned his techniques from his boyfriend of three years, fellow porn star Jed Wilcox. They've performed a few scenes together on screen, and Jason said, "We love guys watching us, we are both certified exhibitionists."

He's also become more versatile, thanks to his boyfriend -- and porn. He and Brad do a hot flip-flop in their final scene together, even though they've both been onscreen tops most of the time. "Now, I'm considered a versatile top," Jason says. "There's a lot of personal information I can use with this story. Before my present relationship, I was with a guy for 10 years. We did some threesomes, but never spoke about it, he couldn't handle it."

For his part, being versatile took some time, especially bottoming with Patton. "For me it took a better part of an hour, he's so wide," Jason says. "I thought, 'I've got to make this work.'" He did.

This 10-day Buckshot feature also stars Brad Benton from Buckle-Roos and Marcus Iron, who was working as a production assistant, dove into the orgy scene when needed. As the team begins reviewing the footage for editing in order to get it out by November, everyone involved seems to think it's going to a Colt video that's "Beyond Perfect."
