Raw 4
For those horny souls who would rather watch naturalistic, real life fucking than standard, contrived, porn-style sex, Manuel Ferrara's Raw videos are the ultimate. They present his private stock of long, minimally edited sessions with the genuinely lustful girls he prefers; there's no camera man, lighting crew, costumes or scenery, just Manuel and a girl, unrushed, getting their rocks off their own way. He sometimes holds the camera himself, for POV-style shots, but mostly leaves it shooting from across the room to capture a voyeuristic view that approximates what a peeping Tom might see if he knew where to look. Raw 4 contains four such scenes on a luxuriously long double-DVD.
