World Sex Tour 25 (2002)
For the twenty fifth volume of this highly successful porn series we go north to Canada to find the hottest babes in the Great White North. Lots of chicks come down from Canada to do porn, so some of these girls have been seen before, but I guess we can’t expect them to go to Eastern Europe for every WST movie. (When do we get a volume from Japan or from Israel?) It looks like they even took four guys on this trip, giving us greater variety in the scenes. As usual, the six women look to be mostly good looking, possibly all 100% natural and of course, ready to fuck the American studs brought in to fuck them more than their nationalized health-care system does.
