How to order

Josh Weston is lured out into the country by his seductive, straight-nosed boyfriend, Shane Rockford. Weston is one of those gay San Franciscans whose needs are so thoroughly met by his surroundings that he's never wondered what's beyond the city limits. "Will there be cows?" he asks. Rockford promises him picnics by a lake. Instead, when their car disappears in the middle of nowhere, they're picked up and taken to a farmlike compound full of hard-bodied men in loose overalls. When they ask if they can phone the police to report the theft of their car, someone says, "We don't use a phone. Everyone's happy here." Johnny Brosnan, the farm misfit, sidles up to Weston, says, "Run. Get away. This is a bad place"­ and is dragged off to the barn for discipline.

"Country people are like that," Rockford explains when Weston expresses concern. The stranded couple is given a room for the night. After dark, when Weston slips out to investigate the barn, he witnesses a six-man orgy. Then he watches Adam Wolfe grapple with Jackson Price in a storehouse for dildos. By morning, Weston understands that everyone on the premises is free to have sex whenever and wherever he feels the urge, and that Rockford is starting to join in the fun. Some of the sex is fiercely uninhibited. Rod Barry, the boss, gets rimmed as he hangs from a tree limb. Drew Peters pisses all over his torso while Adam Wolfe fists him. Both Peters and Jackson Price fist themselves.

The eight sex scenes are generously spread over two videocassettes. But this is one of those Chi Chi LaRue extravaganzas that serve up happy, wall-to-wall promiscuity, then back away toward sanctimonious disdain. The uncredited writer hasn't thought the story elements through, and the video ends on a flat, downbeat note. It might have helped if the sex between Josh Weston and Johnny Brosnan, a round of strenuous reciprocal fucking, measured up to Weston's earlier session with Rockford. As they lie entwined on scarlet sheets in the opening scene, the sexual current that runs between Weston and Rockford is palpable. Later, you'll wonder why Weston would dump Rockford, duplicitous slut though he is, for a prude like Brosnan.
