How to order

The sign by a Düsseldorf lake reads "Baden verboten"-- "bathing forbidden"-- but none of the naked sunbathers sprawled near the shoreline seems in any hurry to get wet, at least not by immersion in water. The adjacent woods offer juicier recreational options. Singly or in pairs, six young men wander into the shrubbery; the upshot is a foursome and a reciprocal pas de deux. Later, in the only passage where participants in the action start out wearing clothes, one of the models returns to the woods and comes to the aid of a wistful, virginal sprite he discovers jerking off beneath a tree.

Made on a minuscule budget, this video has its peculiarities. The editorially muddled central foursome doubles back on itself just as it seems to be heading toward a finale. The first cumshot occurs 53 minutes into the 84-minute running time, and then the focused, fresh-faced, ravenous bottom who anchors much of the action doesn't ejaculate on camera. The seven cast members all deserve credit, but names appearing on the box are nowhere linked to models' faces.

Summertime: Bathing Forbidden remains a treat for fans of al fresco sex, and for naturists. The uncircumcised, collegiate-looking, mostly German models are fully at ease on camera. Their nudity is unselfconscious; their enjoyment of sex is frank and unrestrained. Watching them in action may inspire you to rush off to a place where you can shuck your clothes and amble through the underbrush. (New Englanders might try Rock River, Vermont.)
