Before porn hit the mainstream in the late sixties people in search of their jollies had three choices.
- Illegal underground hardcore
- Pseudo ‘educational’ sex-ed films
- Exploitation movies
While most educational films got away with including sexy content by telling you how bad it was to have a sex drive, exploitation movies just reveled in their own low budget craptitude and got on with pushing the boundaries of acceptability - considerably more fun. (Those boundaries were pretty tame, Betty Page was making ‘porn’ at the time and barely got past taking her top off.)
The Wild Women of Wongo’s about two islands, one of which contains a bunch of hot women, the other a group of men with conveniently ugly wives. Clearly, someone’s going to get wet.
