description

Bondage, shaving, hot wax, some water sports and fist-fucking (ouch, this guy was yelling!). plenty of leather, belt-slapping, guys getting bound, and hung from the rafters.
======
This is the daddy of 'em all–the most acclaimed gay S/M tape ever made! Crammed with action–fisting, whipping, heavy titplay, piss drinking (don't ask for a bear from these guys!), cuffs, clamps, uniforms, welts, poppers, CBT, lube, big dildoes, boots in your face, guys tied up i every which way, group scenes, a complete head and body shave and a kinky dream sequence in which a top cop becomes a bound bottom. The title's an understatement–this classic tape will leave you breathless... or maybe headed for the nearest dungeon!
------
Fred Halsted says that the police (in LA?) said there would be no more S&M films allowed to screen after Sextool. Born to Raise Hell was the next to open and the police closed it down on its first day.
