Ballet or Basketball?

 Peter Harris is a basketball star with a secret ... and he's afraid to tell anyone!

Peter's a top basketball player - and secretly a brilliant ballet dancer! The only problem is his father and friends think ballet is for "sissies." Can Peter stand up to the pressure once his secret is revealed?

  1. Either way, it's all about the way he controls his balls. Jx

    I still trying to remember if he could stand up to the pressure of being a bottom?

    1. As long as he had his
      toe shoes on, all was good.

  3. 1979? I was too old to be home in the afternoon to watch this, but just the right age to find a basketballer/ballerina to fuck at night.

  6. "Can Peter stand up to the pressure once his secret is revealed?" ~ I think it'll depend on whether he's wearing his basketball shorts or ballet tights...

  7. What a quandary to be in.

    Yes, I have been there too, pretending to like the music of Madonna and Kylie when I had a natural leaning towards rock and heavy metal, I might not have known the lyrics to Jimmy Jimmy* but I knew all the words to Thunderstruck.

    *A dreadful 80s song by Madonna, that was cringingly sung by a group of drunken homosexualists upon leaving The New Penny Pub in Leeds, in the 90s.
