Boys halfway house collection

Halfway house in a traditional sense is an institute that provides housing for people with criminal records or drug abuse tendencies. It is a place for residents to learn skills and socialize with others, in the hope that when they get out of halfway houses, they are independent enough to survive on their own. The term “halfway” describes the situation when residents are stuck between being completely independent and being highly restricted in their behavior and freedom. “Boys halfway house” offers a different kind of halfway house, it takes the information of applicants’ age, body measurements, and nude pictures. In exchange for housing, residents are required to be filmed having gay sex whenever desired. The only skill taught there is how to make pornography. Most residents are young straight males because of their popularity in gay porn.
