Director: Robert Payne (John Embry?) (1985)
Joys of Self Abuse (1985)
I can’t remember why I was breaking down this video into who’s segment lasted how long – but here you go. I will say, Ken Bergquist, again, fails to impress. I guess he was best as a still life model.
- Brutus – 2 through 11
- Andy Jones -carpenter on set – 11 through 17:30
- Scott O’Hara – biggest cock in San Francisco (w/audience) – 17:30 through 30
- Chris Burns – 30 through 34; then 43 through 45; 48 through 50 (end)
- Mickey Squires – cop – 34 through 43
- Ken Savage – “your boss” – 45 through 48 (AKA Ken Bergquist)

Did you recognize that music? It’s Patrick Cowley’s Afternooners soundtrack, or the first three songs from the Dark Entries album anyway. From this clip, you’ve got Big Shot from the beginning to around 3:35:

Followed by Surfside Sex, which goes until 9:55 or so:

Leading into Hot Beach, which plays until the moment you cut this off:

Neither gevi nor iafd show any credits beyond the six guys featured, and the director being Robert Payne. So I’m curious if Cowley’s name appears in any opening or closing credits on the tape? Though I suspect it’s more ‘stolen music’ as was so common still throughout the 80s, especially the first half or so.
I’m curious if they lifted the whole Afternooners soundtrack or if it switches to someone else’s tunes later. If you have the Afternooners CD or album ripped you might be able to verify that pretty easily by just cuing it up while the tape is playing and seeing if the rest of the music is a match. The next three songs on the album (and in the same order on the Afternooners movie if I’m not mistaken) are The Runner, Furlough and One Hot Afternoon.

I want to submit this post to the Cowley subreddit if you don’t mind? If I do I’ll mark it as NSFW so the people who follow it here aren’t surprised by your blog first of all, but also by the naked Brutus in this clip, let alone him thwacking away at his nuts just before he gets off :O
Also, is this the same Brutus from the Palm Drive Video clip(s) you posted not long ago? For some reason gevi makes a distinction between ‘Brutus’ and ‘Brutus (Colt)’ as if they were different guys but it seems like you said they were one in the same, as well as obsessed or another commenter when you did that.
yes, one and the same Brutus. Crowley’s music I would bet was stolen, as you said, quite common to use music in porno without acknowledging or paying. given that this was released a couple years after Afternooners, seems quite easy to take. a quick spot check shows it is likely to be ALL Crowley music, but likely repeats of what you commented – like Surfside Sex for Mickey Squires (hot cop).. Leather Bound was another I noticed.
good work.
Ugh, I remember burning this onto a disc years ago but I can’t find it already. Mickey Squires jerking off in cop gear was one of my awakenings but I can’t find this anywhere anymore. Pains of getting older, I guess…
