Notes
Roger appears in several of Wakefield Poole's full length porn features · Apparently, he was straight · He is well endowed though, and of a body type popular among gay porn actors of the day · I have not been able to find out much else about him · In this film, he is so well oiled that he appears that he was dipped in a vat and removed just before the take · Overall, I found the film to be too narcistic and not especially erotic for my taste.
