The Minneapolis Star said it was "honest reporting" while also using the documentary format to exploit sexually explicit films. [6]

According to the IMDb, the film features scenes from the Swedish/Danish films I Am Curious (Yellow) (1967) and Quiet Days in Clichy (1970). The films Midnight Cowboy (1969) and Marital Fulfillment (1970), an earlier, lost Sebastian documentary about sex and marriage, are discussed.
