OK, Ladies; are you sick of your man bringing home virtual sex DVDs with titles such as "My Plaything: Jenna Jameson?" Are you ever tempted to scream out in a fit of rage, "Let Jenna do your laundry and fix your meals, Bozo!!!" (Hmm. . ."Virtual Ravioli with Jenna Jameson." Now that's an idea!)

If so, then here is your chance for revenge. Sharpshooter Studios, which produces beefcake films (nonexplicit productions with full male nudity) has released its 1997 video "A Day With a Centerfold: Warren Northwood" on DVD.

Warren Northwood is a gorgeous blond Playgirl model who appeared in the magazine and a related video, "Playgirl's Hunks in Hedonism," in the mid-1990s. He also played a cameo role in "Orgazmo" (yep, the Mormon porn star epic) and starred in the Sharpshooter video "Nude Men Can Jump" -- in which he played basketball naked. And very well, I might add. . .

"Day With a Centerfold: Warren Northwood" takes the viewer on a virtual date with this stunner. And while this disc does not feature actual sex acts or allow the viewer to choose scenes or actions, it nonetheless provides one of the most personal, deeply erotic viewing experiences a woman can have.

The disc opens with a luxurious shot of Warren driving his sporty red jeep through the Hollywood hills, his dog Saki by his side. He eventually arrives at a scenic beach, where he's apparently set for a morning of surfing.

As Warren walks the beach, two women stop to admire Saki (yeah, pet the pooch so you can talk to its handsome owner; I've tried that trick too). Warren then changes into a skinfitting wetsuit and hits the waves.

Back onshore, Warren peels off the wetsuit and takes full advantage of a beachside shower. Although there's no full nudity in this scene, the camera focuses intently on the model's muscular chest as it is delightfully doused, and on his back and rear as he towels himself dry.

Warren then heads for the Hollywood hills, where he enjoys a round of nude bicycling. Although not particularly aroused by this scene (that can't be comfortable for him!), I must admit it is something of a curiosity piece.

The next scene -- by contrast -- is highly erotic, as Warren settles down for a romantic noontime picnic. Although he says he has brought sandwiches he never produces them (Tease!); he does, however, compensate for this social faux pas by slowly rubbing a coat of slick, shiny baby oil all over his naked body. Also in this scene, he recites some classic romantic poetry in a smooth, seductive tone. This man is good. . .

Fast forward to the evening, during which we've apparently had dinner with Warren and are now making ourselves comfortable in his penthouse apartment.

Glorious in the glow of the candles that line the sides of his built-in jacuzzi, Warren strips slowly and seductively before sinking into its waters. This proves the most erotically charged scene yet, as he poses perfectly and maintains compelling eye contact with the camera.

The evening ends in a scene set at Warren's fireplace, where he appears in a robe and offers the viewer some champagne. Again he strips (lucky for us, the dude seems to enjoy being naked as much as humanly possible) and seduces the camera with enticing gazes, sexy smiles and perfect pouts. The camera intensely focuses on each part of his body as he goes through a number of seductive motions, including dousing himself with champagne and rubbing a delicate rose over his sculpted, masculine body before offering it to the viewer. Like all romantic experts advise, "Say it with flowers!"

"I hope you enjoyed the day we spent together as much as I did," he says at the end. "Now I think it's time for us to go bed."

Concluding words: Amen to that, Babe.
