Overview

Documentary

"Why Do They Do It ?" preached that it was decent to be a sexual creature. A panel discussion in the Student Association as a kind of frame, you watch various so-called live shows and you met actors like Effie Schou, Søren Strømberg, Dale Robinson and Keld Rex Holm. A lot of attention was given to Bodil Joensen, a very pet-friendly young lady, who would like to enjoy a bull named Sofus.
