Synopsis
Billy is a normal enough gay guy who has normal enough gay guy sex, and he likes it that way. Or so he thought. When he receives an unexpected invitation to participate in a kinky wrestling match, Billy is forced to confront his complicated feelings around his own sexual urges and societal views on queer sexuality. Billy Gets a Bloody Nose is a fun, slutty romp that examines the ways in which we stop ourselves from accessing our deepest desires, and explores what would happen if we fully embraced them instead.
