Tumbling Towards Ecstasy
Working out your body to peak performance and flexibility has advantages when it comes to fucking, as gymnast Michael Boston learns after he finds his coach Reese Rideout spying on him in the shower and sniffing his sweaty leotard. Later on, Michael gets some stiff competition from rival Dante Colle, but these dedicated athletes perform even better together as they rip open each other's leotards and play with each other's poles. Their rivalry roars back to life when they're double-booked with muscular masseur Collin Simpson. He assures the gymnasts he can handle both of them at once, and soon their joint rubdown turns into a threesome.
