The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes. The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword.

Leather Bar.") reacted negatively. <SEP> He has mostly worked in Scandinavia and the US. He is partner in the Scandinavian production company tenk .tv.
