"Glossy
magazines, porn stars, washboard stomachs, and street hustlers:
Hollywood faithfully provides the public with a seemingly inexhaustible
flood of male erotica. Sex/Life in LA brings together nine young
men who earn their livings with their bodies. There are porn stars:
Matt Bradshaw, porn actor and hairdresser; Kevin Kramer, who's planning
his transformation from porn legend to legitimate actor; and Cole
Tucker, porn star and successful entrepreneur. And there is Ron
Athey, a performance artist. Finally, there are unemployed hustlers
and models like Patrick and David, and ex-porn stars like John Garwood.
To each of the men interviewed, the body is both the object of desire
and the subject of art, and they all show their bodies freely. The
scene of Tony Ward in the bathtub is worth the price of admission.
For some it's been their ticket to success, and for others it's
been their downfall. In the end, Sex/Life in LA entertainingly depicts
the survival strategies of some of the male image industry's major
players."
