Sincere but standard porno documentary
lor_21 September 2010
Clearly inspired by the 1971 Presidential Commission's Report on Obscenity, this documentary adequately covers various sexual topics, but like its fellow "white-coaters" is just not as interesting as fictional films with the same content.

An annoying on-camera filmmaker keeps emphasizing "You be the judge", and then shows us vignettes covering material surveyed in the report. Harry Reems demos the usual in & out with a lovely girl in the opening scene, minus a money shot. Dolly Sharp and a cute brunette give a lesbian routine featuring vibrator and dildo. Various other positions as well as light bondage are also paraded.

What is unusual about this film is that it also includes a homosexual threesome, in which the fellatio is explicit while the anal sex is only suggested, perhaps in deference to the target audience. Instead of loud music, this particular sequence features insightful interviews voiced over by the three guys, one of whom expresses a liberated attitude and approach to living that still sounds fresh nearly 40 years later.

Despite the hokey title, this is handled like an almost-real documentary and is worth seeing for that reason. Film should not be confused with "Porno Mondo" released the same year, an idiotic fake- documentary proselytizing about the need to make porn legal, and featuring endless XXX footage yet having both Rene Bond and Ric Lutze appear in non-sex roles. Go figure.
