Jon King's just 'gotta have it' and he finds men more than willing to give it to him in this non-stop, no story sexual romp highlighting him (in three scenes) after a real-life two year absence from the business. All of the actors in this four-vignette flick are hard-bodied, in their middle twenties, and are both sexy and sexually enthusiastic.
