Rugged Men
Synopsis
This low-rent, hardcore version of a kinky Kenneth Anger film contains three sexual vignettes. The first, "Fright," is set in the pre-gentrified Hudson River docks area of Greenwich Village. The film begins with a cop arresting a young man for hustling. He takes him to an abandoned building where he, and his cop buddy, tie up the stud and proceed to have some really rough sex. The next story, "Nightmare," has a straight man falling off to sleep only to have "nightmares" of torrid gay sex. The final scenario, "Birthday," has a man receiving a human birthday present.
