Aphrodiziac
In an empty warehouse, a slave is tied to a cross. Dominatrix Aletta Ocean spanks his cock. In several chapters, Tanya Hyde gives us an extra dose of her darkest, most depraved fetish fantasies - in her unique visual style and with a chilled soundtrack. The chapter called 'Cabaret' kicks off with a burlesque show and turns into proper fuck fest at the end. In Tanya Hyde's movies, the female performers wear patent leather and leather, they're wrapped up in latex like mummies or they wear nothing but garters and high boots. They love sex in gas masks or being tied up ankle-first. They also love a close shave 'down there'. There's throat-fucking, glory holes, merciless anal pounding, double penetrations, interracial scenes, group sex and mini-bukkake. Tanya Hyde is simply fantastic!
