...sexual technocrats, with brilliant cameo roles for the functioning flesh of various unnamed actors." The pedigreed experts drone on about the psychology of orgasm while nude sexual acrobats perform illustrations. "It purports to be an animated Little Golden Book of marital relations," wrote Judge Moore, "or perhaps the Kama Sutra of electronic media, although the film is nowhere nearly as rich in the variety of its smorgasbord of delights as comparison with that ancient Hindu classic might suggest.

...directors never hesitate to feature bump-and-grind girly dances so provocative that they "may almost be called the performance of a unilateral act of coitus." The argument impressed few Indians; in a recent poll, 75% opposed kissing and nudity in films-this in the land of the Kama Sutra and the world's most erotic temple carvings. Buddha himself helps explain such contradictory attitudes toward sex. Like St. Augustine, he spent his youth exulting in the pleasures of the flesh and his later years exalting the spirit.

...bush pilot spends too much of his time on the wing. In his absence, his wife Vixen (Erica Gavin, 42-24-36) lives up to her name, deceiving him with everyone from a Royal Mountie to the wife of a visiting fisherman (Vincene Wallace, 37-24-35). A Mama Sutra of seductresses, Vixen is an ideal utility infielder, at home in any position.
