BarebackPlus has released "Below the Belt: Volume 1," an MMA-themed title featuring Dimitri Venum, Guillaume Wayne, Milo Miles, and Bastian Karim. The production is a collaboration between HungFuckers and BarebackPlus, with Carnal Media CEO Legrand Wolf writing and executive producing.

Production Details and Cast

"Below the Belt: Volume 1" is set in the world of mixed martial arts and is directed by Alter Sin. Legrand Wolf, CEO of Carnal Media, wrote the title and executive produced alongside Jason Sparks. The first chapter, "The Breaking Point," is available on BarebackPlus.

The cast includes Dimitri Venum, Guillaume Wayne, Milo Miles, and Bastian Karim. Venum and Wayne, working with Carnal for the first time, portray UFC fighters Bruno and Thiago. Miles, an exclusive performer for Carnal, plays "the smaller-framed, submissive spark who destabilizes everything." Karim co-stars as "the shadowy puppeteer who introduces Milo into the fighters' already fragile dynamic."

A studio representative described the movie as plunging "into the volatile relationship between UFC fighters Bruno and Thiago, where repressed desire, discipline and danger collide." The representative noted that Venum and Wayne delivered "powerful, emotionally raw performances as Bruno and Thiago," bringing "not only their physiques but also deep vulnerability to the roles." Miles' performance was described as "magnetic—equal parts vulnerable and voracious," with the representative highlighting his "intensity and scene-stealing presence." Karim, a Carnal All-Star and multi-awarded Performer of the Year, takes on a critical role in the film.

Narrative and Themes

The storyline of "Below the Belt: Volume 1" explores themes of rivalry, emotional pressure, and the consequences of unresolved conflict. A scene description reveals that "leaked photos forcing Bruno out of the closet and Thiago’s wife shattering his double life" lead to "a story of redemption through desire—culminating in a champagne-soaked orgy that’s as cathartic as it is carnal."

Legrand Wolf stated that this was "a story I needed to tell—one that lives at the edge of secrecy, shame, and sexual awakening." He also commented on Alter Sin's direction, saying, "Watching Alter Sin bring that vision to life with unflinching detail and intensity was a creative high point. He’s the ultimate professional and understands the language of our industry — the language of desire — in a way few ever have."

Wolf further elaborated on the demands of the production, stating, "'Below the Belt' demanded a delicate balance: intimacy, grit, and nuanced storytelling. It’s easy to make something that’s just sex. This asked more of our performers, more of our director, and more of ourselves as storytellers. We don’t shy away from calling our work smut — we just believe it’s the kind of smut that can change the world."

Alan Breslaw, Chief Marketing Officer at Carnal Media, described "Below the Belt" as "the explosive showdown between discipline and desire."
