Plot and Premise

The film revolves around Nina, an acting student, who is writing a thesis on the effect of fantasy on one's sex life.

Scenes

The film includes several scenes that showcase different sexual encounters and fantasies. Nina Hartley sizzles through the first couple of sexy segments, trysting with Karen Summer in an early morning lesbian liaison, then hooking up with male stripped Billy Dee in a searing interracial grind. Lili Marlene stars in the next ribald romp, taking on a pair of swarthy studs while her husband looks on. Karen Summer's back for more in the fourth scene, picking up a jogger and taking him to her health club locker room for some erotic exercise. Finally, Juliet Anderson and Lili team up on yet another lucky stiff, this time in a sweltering phone sex sizzler.

Nina Hartley's Role

Nina Hartley shines in this romp, one of her very first porn appearances. She's in prime form as a scrumptious acting student who has an interesting idea for her senior project. Nina is writing a thesis on the effect of fantasy on one's sex life, so she proposes a live show in which she and her fellow thespians will act out frantic fantasies submitted by her audience. She is young looking as it was one of her first adult films.

Reception and Legacy

Some viewers remember the film fondly. Some remember Nina Hartley in her prime. They recall her as gorgeous, bald, and loving her job. Karen Summer was regarded as "the best c***sucker in the business" for most of the 1980's and does a good job of defending her title in this movie.
