What's it like to be a stud, or hunk, wanted by both women and the law? Such is the quandary of Eddie Teeters after producing and performing in a series of sex-counseling movie shorts aimed at schooling television viewers in the art of love. He considers them educational erotica but a federal prosecutor regards them as actionable pornography.
