What job? Full disclosure, please.

Exotic? The side of the road in a desert area of CA and a couple of derelict buildings hardly qualifies.

Yeah, I really loved the shot-with-a-home-VHS-camcorder repeat of the same footage and the same droning voice in between each sex scene.

Aw, bullshit! There's five minutes of footage shot out of or through a car windscreen that is repeated ad nauseum.

It's no different than every other fake piece of crap out there. Oh, excuse me, the camerawork is worse.

Blonde nymph? Whorish stripper would be more like it. Tex is one of the types you cross the road to avoid lest you pick up the disease he's carrying. Whatever happened to Cheyenne Sexton?

Good pop shot? It's a minuscule dribble. As for Peach, at least she hasn't done hundreds of movies but that is probably due to her thick body and droopy tits.

Maybe the viewer might be the one to care about the condom.

Since when is Nakita Kash, Russian? As an undoubted newbie (or something else I'll get to in a moment) you're unaware that she posts here from time to time. Do your homework!

Did you really see the movie or are you recounting what happened on the set?

The actual sequence is:

Roy screws Harley
Nakita and Riana do a g/g
Tex screws Bobbie
Chris screws Peach
Strong screws Riana (incl anal)
(uncredited) Gina Ryder masturbates

You also neglected to mention that most of the sounds of sex are overlaid by music.

More bullshit!

Ah, well that explains it! Hi Roy! How are the sores on your dick? Has Zane employed you recently after you couldn't get it up for Priscilla Jane in In Your Face #7? And how about David Christopher after you couldn't get it up for Monique in Black Bad Girls #2? Some stud!

Try starting again: "Hi I'm Roy Shaft and I'd like to tell you a bit about myself..." You'd get a less rocky reception.
