The Old Reliable series offers a unique alternative to standard all-male fare. There are no story lines, no sets, no scripts - just real people talking about real experiences. The majority of the men are hustler types, selected off the street by the producer and representing a diverse cross section of American manhood. They are each encouraged to strip, show off their bodies, and, in most cases, to masturbate. All sex, however, is performed on a solo basis.
