Credits Grade: 9 Page one opens with the filming of the climax of a porn movie starring Iwaki. This is one yaoi that doesn't try to hide anything and doesn't apologize of feel ashamed to tell it like it is (in a hardcore pornographic way). Iwaki and Katou are rival hunks in the world of pornographic movies. Katou is rather infatuated with his older co-hort and takes advantage of every scene (filmed and private) he can ... especially after Iwaki took advantage of him first in a hardcore audition. They are creating quite the scandal as their real life romance mirrors their on-screen roles (or is it vice versa?).Plenty of powerful sex scenes in this yaoi! While some are seemingly forced upon them, they are professionals in the sex scene so they go with the flow and enjoy the moment ... even if Iwaki seems rather confused by Katou's advances professions of love off-screen he is letting Katou see his vulnerable (somewhat naive) side. One conflict of interest is Iwaki's obsession with public image while Katou likes to stir things up. While angles that allow you to see the penis are few and far between, you do actually get to see one. No cones of light or vague outlines here ... granted they still pale in comparison the those in straight porn (like Toshio Maeda's), it's excellent for yaoi! Creating the story around two porno stars also means that the thin plot works better than ever. The story can be about sex and the character's feelings as they muddle their way through their newfound infatuation and more sex and not seem to be a thinly veiled excuse for a story. Don't get me wrong, that's exactly what it is, but it reads better. If you're looking for something a little more hardcore with some mighty powerful and deliciusly sexy love-making scenes then Embracing Love is for you! Don't let this one slip through your fingers.
