Weren't these filmed in the 2010s? How were they that gullible during that time period??
well, no expert here, but I'm sure the guys had varying levels of experience with promoters, photographers, managers, public relations, sleazy operators, etc......they each definitely wanted some combination of exposure, filling out a portfolio, working toward a career or getting a sponsor, making some money..... plus to meet a sincere-appearing photographer with a big deal-sounding website named "pumpingmuscle" has got to be a great way to promote myself, right??......he suggests some artsy/physique poses as part of a good portfolio, the fans like "interaction", promises to film only from the waist up, gee this guy seems smart and I could sure use something for my portfolio......depending on each guy's experience with nudity around family and friends, personal comfort level, internet scams, the requests for full-frontal nudity may just seem like classic art and a normal part of physique modeling......obviously, some of the guys knew to keep it pg-rated....other eager newer guys with little real-world experience may've been intimidated by his artsy talk and chatter about competitions and famous bodybuilders.....
they each had a story.....levels of gullibility varied greatly......hell, seems some of the guys already knew this was going to be a soft-porn shoot!.....the Rick E thing is distressing....his Dad was so proud of him, it seems, and it ends up with Peter caressing him and nearly stroking his erection....Rick must've been so disillusioned and embarrassed
