What you see is not exactly what you get
To be as clear and frank as possible it must be said at the start that this collection is not something you will find sexually stimulating - it is not soft or hard porn, it is documentary. The cover image of a hairless, clean, fit and soft-porn styled male leaning against a wall is probably meant to attract the eye of the `gay market' and entice a sale - but it doesn't really illustrate what you will find inside the volume.
The pornesque titles of the three documentaries `Rent Boys', `All Boys' and `Men for sale' are somewhat tabloid when lined up next to each other and would easily be mistaken for a multitude of porn titles available in any `Love Art' shop; so my main concern is the misleading packaging as it is giving off a visual message that fits in quite well next to much of the material the content is ultimately criticising. This is deeply ironic on so many levels as it is not likely to stimulate the porn-buying customers in the way they are seeking to be...

On the whole this is a boring set of interviews with young males all of whom have problems. What could have been an interesting look at the lives of hustler is instead a cheaply produced set of uninteresting interviews.
