Afternooners
Collection of four short films. Includes: The Runner — Chris Rutherford seduces a runner (Beau Matthews) one afternoon from his bedroom widow by flashing his big hard cock, and turns the sex starved young runner into a insatiable sex slave, not that he complained. One Hot Afternoon — Big Bo Richards uses his thick 8-inch rod on Karl Aflinn, and then gives Dean Heddon's 9½-inch tool a workout in a sizzling, hot afternoon of graphic man-to-man action. Cycle Tuff — Our new discovery, Jimmy Metz, became the heart throb of the nation when his tight, hard, muscular, body dressed in snug jeans debuted on a motorcycle in this solo. Jimmy was so excited by being filmed that he performed like a race horse and his body convulsed to shoot the biggest load we'd ever seen. And an untitled Jim Moore and Jon Ray film.
