Audio/Video Quality: Cock Tease was presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen color as shot by director Robby D. for Digital Playground, using the MPEG-2 codec in the standard definition release with a 480i resolution. The editing by Nick P. helped the scenes flow better than they would have, this very personal project of the director showing that he could look beyond the usual formulas so many of his peers adhere to in their own works. There were few compression artifacts and the video bitrate was typically hanging around the 4.1 Mbps area when I spot checked it, the use of lighting allowing some interesting effects that did not interfere with the heat provided by the skilled quintet of ladies hand selected for their kinky natures. The audio was presented in a 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround English (using an audio bitrate of 384 Kbps and the usual 48 kHz sampling rate) with a minimalist leaning similar to the Jack series, with the vocals always dominating the audio track as I like it. While there wasn't much separation between the channels though the ladies were almost always clearly heard and their moans added to the enjoyment of the show for those keeping track.

Body of Review: Robby D. makes scores of movies for Digital Playground and his own company, Handheld Pictures but as much as I sing his many praises online, his detractors always fuss at me that his movies are so much alike that he is akin to a pornography "one hit wonder" no matter how many of his features, vignette driven titles, or even his dominance on the sets of the erotic Celeste flicks he shoots. Having talked to him briefly about this last month, he promised me he would be releasing a title unlike anything he had done before, a movie called Cock Tease. Before I go too far, I know what many of you are thinking; "all porn is the same" but if you truly believe this, you are wrong (again!). See, this time Robby provides five scenes where the ladies do not engage in sexual misconduct with other men or other women, rarely masturbating for that matter as they tease like crazy for the duration of the nearly three and a half hour movie.

The cast consisted of Keri Sable, Jamie Lynn, Ashley Roberts, Nikki Benz, & Charlie Laine and the scenes were shot over a lengthy period of time (Keri hasn't made a movie in years) but while there were five of them, each lady changed outfits and pranced about their respective rooms as though very much into the act of teasing Robby and his camera. The fetish aspects were addressed too with some panty hose, foot footage, BDSM, and other common themes handled in some of Robby's Handheld titles. As such, I'm not going to offer a laundry list of exactly every pose they gave, all the holes penetrated by toys, or even how much various gags were used by the submissive lasses. No, suffice it to say that you will either "get it" or you won't but this was one of the hottest sessions of tease ever shot by the director (and easily the lengthiest given the running time of the scenes collectively). I would have preferred the bitrate to be higher and the lighting a bit more consistent but I bow to the quality of material provided here as the "gold" Robby is always seeking to offer in this bold experiment. I included a few screen captures and links to the trailer for the movie so that when it comes out at the end of the month, you will already know whether or not it should interest you but if you are anything at all like this jaded reviewer and adore substantial tease material with just enough edge to it to keep me glued to my television set (not to mention repeated doses of genetic juice stuck to the ceiling), you will want a copy for your collection.

Summary: Cock Tease by director Robby D. for Digital Playground surpassed what I expected of them in this ode to tease, doing so in a major way. While it serves as a prelude to the upcoming Nurses, the strokability, replay value, and amount of tease for the buck was such that it easily earned a rating of Highly Recommended from me. The technical values were solid so the Blu-ray version should really knock my socks off but there was so much to like about Cock Tease that I hope Robby continues to push the boundaries and offer increasingly diverse selections such as this, if for no other reason, it helps me prove my point that his creativity is well ahead of the pack. Good work!
