Swedish Erotica 281 - Ski Bunnies, Part 1

 

This loop was shot in 1979 and is also known as Snow Bunnies, Part 1. The quality isn't great but I've never been able to find a better version. It's one of the few time we get to see Seka having anal sex. There is a great close-up as Paul Thomas slides his cock into her ass as she sucks off David Morris.

Paul Thomas is one of the most famous and iconic porn stars of the 1970s and early 1980s. He came from a wealthy upper middle class family in Illinois that owned household-name businesses, such as Sara Lee and Jim Beam.

After studying political science at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, he turned to acting and joined the cast of Hair as it toured Chicago and New York.  He then auditioned for the Broadway musical Jesus Christ Superstar in New York and became the understudy to Jesus and played the High Priest. In 1973, after touring the play across the country, Paul Thomas and Carl Anderson (who played Judas) were both asked to audition for the upcoming film version of the musical. Both were successful and Thomas was given the role of Peter. 

Paul Thomas then moved to Hollywood to further his mainstream career. Although he appeared in a couple of TV shows, he struggled with the competition.

"I was now competing for major films with major stars like Michael Douglas and Michael Moriarty, and I didn't get them. They got them. They were better actors than I was. And I wasn't studying the way I should have been studying. You can only go so far on natural talent."

He eventually moved to San Francisco in 1974 and got a role in the musical Beach Blanket Babylon, which became the world's longest-running musical revue (1974-2019). While there he alternated between stage-work and flying down to Los Angeles to appear in TV shows and commercials.

"I got involved in X rated movies because the Mitchell Brothers came to see the show Beach Blanket Babylon and I met them. San Francisco was the epicenter of the adult movie industry. I got to know them a little bit. They got to understand how much I enjoyed pornography and they were doing a movie called The Autobiography of a Flea (1976) and they offered me the lead role. It was a 100 page script, $1,000 a day and gorgeous women. I did it because I didn't have the confidence that I could compete at the highest level of acting. I had the talent but didn't have the dedication to maintain it. And also, I was a sex monster. When I discovered that I could express myself in X rated movies, it was amazing. This was a community that embraced me. For the first time I had a feeling that this is where I belong. This is what I should be doing."

Over the next decade Paul Thomas appeared in hundreds of adult movies and loops, including classics such as Desires Within Young Girls (1977), Hard Soap Hard Soap (1977), Reflections (1977), Dracula Sucks (1978) and Pretty Peaches (1978). In the mid-1980s he moved behind the camera and started directing porn films.
