Scorching Secrets
Peter North, married to Le Dawn, is having secret relations with Laurel Canyon, and is banging aspiring models like Ebony Ayes at his photographic studio. What he doesn't know is that La Dawn and Laurel are doing each other. It all catches up to him soon enough with a porn prescription from marriage maven Jesse Adams, who prescribes polygamy. The wall-to-wall sex that this tail is hung on comes beautifully shot and masterfully edited. All the right angles, at the right times, with the camera never straying from the heat of the moment add up to the kind of satisfaction only a polygamist could get on his honeymoon.
