Antonio da Silva Films

MATES / film excerpt 

Ever had anonymous gay sex with someone you met online? It’s okay. Most of us have. We just don’t talk about it a lot. This kaleidoscopic short takes a graphic, unsimulated look at several seriously sexy hookups—cross-cutting between scenes of hot, hung men in action. This one is for adults only!
