Sex On Ice?
Sports themed pornos are a dime a dozen, but they never seem to be about the traditionally gay sports. Yes, I might be going out on a limb here, I'm claiming that fags are over-represented in sports such as dressage, diving and figure skating. (See COLT man Brad Patton to the right gliding across the ice in a recent competition.) And yet, in gay porn it's all about football, soccer and wrestling. Is it not a bit ludicrous that there are all these movies being made about soccer players getting it on with their coaches and each other, when the scenario of figure skaters getting it on with their coaches and each other seems much more plausible? Well, no.
After seeing the hi-larious Will Ferrell/Jon Heder vehicle, "Blades of Glory" I can honestly say that there is nothing, NOTHING, sexy about figure skating. There is, however, a whole lot of fun to be had with the sport. Heder and Ferrell play rivaling figure skaters, Heder with a soft feminine approach, and Ferrell with a bad boy style, aimed at the ladies. After a fight, they are banned from solo skating forever and end up making a comeback as pair skaters. And while none of the main characters are "gay", the campiness of the sport is thoroughly dissected and the result is an over-the-top and hysterical, yet sweet and heartfelt comedy that will have you belly laughing in the theatre. It will also make you realize why you'd rather watch a sports porno about traditionally butch sports then one about figure skating. See selection below.

You forgot about Studio 2000's Blades from back in 2001, starring Brad Benton and Jason Hawke.
