The second part of the Dungeons of Europe trilogy from veteran filmmaker Roger Earl is, even more than the first, an intense examination of men who willingly enter into an S & M relationship with a partner for the sheer pleasure of the pain which that partner can provide.

These submissives gladly give themselves to a variety of tortures, restraints, and yes, love. There is not doubt that all these men possess a strong bond of affection which connects a slave to master. And hungry, tongue-down-the-throat kisses are just as much a part of their ritual as the various other inflictions of the master's will.

Director Earl doesn't profess to understand or explain the phenomenon; he simply describes it visually for the viewer – and does so with some remarkable camera work and lighting effects. And despite the title, these aren't dark, dingy dungeons, but brightly-lit chambers where the various masters practice their medieval-like torture arts.

The opening inscription puts it aptly as trying to describe these men who voluntarily enter into these kinds of “love” experiments: “Naked they walk/Without any shame/Drawn toward their Masters/Like moths to a flame!”....

This video is not for the weak or faint-hearted. The average viewer may be closing one or both eyes during the piercing and tattoo session by Mr. Sebastian, for example. The victim (Ken Dearn) is pierced through his navel, then at a point where his scrotum joins the shaft base. Yet another is inserted at the perineum. Finally, just when you think it's safe to re-open your eyes, you'll be just in time to watch Mr. Sebastian swab out the piss-slit before inserting a mini-catheter, in preparation to piercing the cockhead as well.

Probably one of the more interesting and unusual sights is that of a slave (Ted De Burin) being mummified – with the electrician tape – by his master (Dirk Johnson). When the taping is complete, the slave begins pissing all over himself!

.... whether repulsive or fascinating to the viewer, the film should be viewed as a documentary – if nothing else – into one aspect of gay sexuality. Like Moths to a Flame does an admirable job of recording that facet of sexual exploration.
