Storyline

Seven segments related to one another only in that they all purport to be based on sections of the book by David Reuben. The segments range from "Do Aphrodisiacs Work?" in which a court jester gives an aphrodisiac to the Queen and is, in the end, beheaded to "What Happens During Ejaculation?" in which we watch 'control central' during a successful seduction. Written by Scott R. Vaughn <scott@vaughn.hon.msu.edu>

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Sam Musgrave asks directions to the bathroom, he is told "first door on the left," however after he ascends the stairs, the bathroom door is on his right. See more »
