With only the dim light of a laptop screen for company, a young man, Alex, performs a solo audition for the camera. The room is sparse, a simple bed and a plain wall serving as his backdrop. He begins tentatively, running his hands over his body, feeling the anticipation build. His breath hitches as he takes himself in hand, stroking slowly at first, before building to a steady rhythm. The room fills with his quiet moans and the sound of his hand moving against his skin.
