FORMAT: DVD
An author named Mr. Cox is preparing to write a book on human sexuality. He interviews several women about their sexual exploits and experiences. Sometimes, he engages in hanky-panky with his subjects. In the end, he watches a stag movie while receiving oral sex from his blind secretary.
It’s hard to say if Erotic Point of View is the first first-person point of view porno or not, but it is definitely a very early attempt. I imagine that when this was made it was more of a novelty than anything. No one probably dreamed that in fifty years’ time there would be a whole subgenre of porn devoted to POV sex.
Since it’s an early example of the genre, it’s clear they hadn’t worked some of the bugs out yet. During the first-person blowjob scenes, you can hardly even see any of the hardcore action because the actress’s head is always in the way. The scenes where the author watches the sexual shenanigans work slightly better than the first-person stuff, mostly because the audience can see what is going on. Consider the scene where he watches a pair of lesbians use strap-ons. While it lacks the novelty of the first-person camerawork, the flow of the scene is certainly smoother.
That said, despite the title none of the sex scenes are particularly erotic. One odd scene finds the author watching two guys bang a girl on a bathroom floor. This might’ve worked, but for whatever reason there’s no penetration in this scene. These guys return later to deflower a virgin on camera and things get awkward where she begs them to stop, but they keep going.
Also, there’s no real payoff either since it all ends with our first-person main character watching an old ratty porno. I have a suspicion the old stag segments were only there to pad out the running time to bump it up to an hour. Unless tax time was coming up and the author was going to try to write off his smut movie purchases as part of his “research”. I don’t know.
There’s also no avoiding the fact that the women aren’t exactly beauty pageant winners. I mean it’s one thing not to shave your bush for a ‘70s porno, but you should at least shave your armpits. And legs.
