There will undoubtedly be a vast array of readings about CockyBoys’ anthology series “ANSWERED PRAYERS” but I’ve always felt the initial intrinsic value of the parable is that of inner light in direct battle with the extrinsic darkness of our environment, so “ANSWERED PRAYERS: THE ASSUMPTION OF THE LAMB” brings both of these common life themes to the forefront at CockyBoys.
CockyBoys Exclusive Max Ryder in many respects represents the light of the world in which we inhabit for ourselves, yet sometimes outside forces and circumstances cause us to venture off our true path(s).
CockyBoys Exclusive Max Carter embodies the provocateur aspect of what we know is inherently right for us vs. how are often culled and seduced into doing things we’d normally never do.
His character reminds me of the itinerant preacher from the “Poltergeist” series of films blindly leading his flock to a light which ultimately encompasses a darkness of fear and misguided will.
Gay porn legend and international hunk star Dean Monroe’s presence here virtually screams a sort of svengali character who represents edgy and darker choices we can make when given a new direction or path, but it too comes with the price of our authentic identity.
Then we have CockyBoys Exclusive Jake Bass returning as a symbol of the grooming we see and the grooming we often can’t see when pretty things are wrapped up in power.
There are large influences here rooted in “Oliver Twist” and tinges of “David Copperfield” as well and we know CockyBoys Director Jake Jaxson is quite the well read artiste with influences in film, literature, theater, TV and other mediums.
Overall, I read “ANSWERED PRAYERS: THE ASSUMPTION OF THE LAMB” as an allegory about the persons we allow into our lives which purport themselves to be one thing when they are really something far more sinister, yet we willingly allow them to lead us because we want to see the bright light within them, so we give of ourselves until it is clear we risk sacrificing our purity.
Whether it is in our personal lives, romantic relationships, the business world, the church or interpersonal relationships, we are all sacrificial lambs at some point, for good or for evil at CockyBoys.
The acting is top notch and Ryder, Carter & Monroe all really stretch themselves to the limit and take us places we never imagined they could through acting in a gay porn series.
It is abundantly clear each man is gunning to demonstrate his acting chops and ability to turn what could be one dimensional characters into iconic all gay male sex performances now at CockyBoys.
