User Reviews

I couldn't watch it

I understand that there is a plot and storyline. I was a art major an appreciate tasteful nudity. I am not a religious person either. Let me start by saying know what Nymphos are. I was expecting nudity, but not straight up porn. I think this got the high ratings from men excited porn made it to the big scene. I am not talking soft porn, i mean PORN. I find it funny how other users go into how deep the content was. I guess "Deep throat" had deep content too. I found out later all the "actors" did porn. There must be a lot of IMDb users in there mothers basements postings reviews lately. If you are thinking from the reviews this is more than porn, then you are reaching for excusing.
