Reversed sexual gaze,uncomfortable and awkward male exotic dancers and gender confusion all come together in this homage to the power of sexual energy .

The tapes are in a sense tiny time capsules preserving for us the looks and fashions of a not so distant past ,but also revealing how what was one thought to look good now seems cheap and ugly.
