Guys are going wild on video, too

NEW YORK -- Harvey Keitel has done it. Ewan McGregor has done it at least four times. Now all red-blooded American males can drop trou for the cameras.
Introducing ''Guys Gone Wild,'' an all-male version of the ''Girls Gone Wild'' video series, which promises ''the hottest, wildest, most beautiful real co-eds,'' stripping for the cameras during spring break and doing things they'd never do back home.
'' 'Girls Gone Wild' has been around about seven years, and every person who's been involved with it on many different levels has been asked once or multiple times, what about a 'Guys Gone Wild'?'' said Bill Horn, spokesman for Mantra Entertainment, which produces the videos.
''It was about seeing something different for a different audience,'' Horn said.
Starting July 13, three titles will be available on DVD and video through
www.girlsgonewild.com: ''Guys Gone Wild,'' ''Guys Gone Wild: Spring Break'' and ''Guys Gone Wild: Frat Boys.''
The stars are young, good-looking males who aren't shy about taking it all off and letting it all hang out. They gyrate like strippers, do push-ups and, in one memorable scene, bounce up and down on their hotel room beds while tossing a football back and forth.
The big difference between the male and female versions is the absence of kissing. Much of the allure of the ''Girls Gone Wild'' series is the fantasy it dangles before its viewers -- the possibility that the wholesome girl next door could, on a drunken spring-break whim, tear off her T-shirt and make out with one of her sorority sisters.
''Let's face it -- there's a double standard when it comes to guy-on-guy as opposed to girl-on-girl,'' Horn said. ''It's sexy to see two girls making out. It's not considered sexy to see two guys making out. That's just the reality, and we were there to capture the reality.''
