Shirley shares her masturbatory pattern while a narrator describes each of the steps in self-sexual exploration. She is first seen in the bathroom showering, drying, and brushing her hair luxuriously. In the bedroom she moves and strokes her body sensuously, gradually focusing in on her breasts and genitals. She then uses a vibrator on these areas, and moves into an exuberant orgasm. Close-ups show the vaginal area contractions of the pubococcygeus muscle during orgasm. Her delight continues to be visible after her orgasm, as she caresses and stretches her body.
Producer
Extreme close-ups of 38 vulvas, aged three months to fifty-six years. Intended as an educational film by and for women, but screened to mixed audiences, the women photographed were mostly friends and acquaintances, or children of friends and acquaintances, of the director. The Glide Methodist Church's education division, which specialized in community service related to sexuality and pregnancy, produced the film, despite the director's male colleagues finding the concept unsavory.
Director
Two young men, who have lived together for over a year, share their relationship and sexual pattern. The film begins showing them preparing dinner while enjoying kissing, joking, and flirting. After dinner, they become more sexually aroused, moving to the living room where they continue to kiss and caress. They stimulate each other manually and orally to orgasm. Post-orgasmic play continues the element of fun and affection, which is clearly shown throughout the film.
Director
A young black couple go for a walk in the country. They undress and begin foreplay with much kissing and caressing. This couple has a varied sexual pattern, including mutual oral-genital activity with her on top, intercourse in several positions, and both direct and circular thrusting. There is a great deal of affection and continual touching. At one point, she guides his penis back into her vagina. A warm-feeling film.
