Harem Hangups

If you're a younger gent, your exposure to grindhouse flicks may only be with a Quentin Tarantino film, which is fine--but grindhouse flicks really began in adult cinema and that's what's on display here! Don't let the name fool you. While the moniker might suggest coitus elevated to a transcendent level of Eastern-influenced sexual enlightenment where mind, body and soul come together as One in the act of lovemaking, you can be sure that Harem Hangups delivers a bunch of dudes in genie pants and turbans...but more than its fair share of mindless, clueless, soul-eroding screwing where any glimmer of magic has long since departed.
