A series of highly sexual events unfold in this gritty tale told through the eyes of a man who recollects his most intimate thoughts. The erotica presented shifts from fantasy scenarios to unbridled, steamy sex between people whose carnal chemistry is unbound. Of a worth note is the beautiful cinema legend Samantha Fox who literally sears the sheets in her foray into fiery fornication with Bobby Astry. All in all - a good mix of episodic sex showcasing some very intense people. Written by VCX
