I must respectfully disagree with the above review: English dubbing is the worst thing that can be done to non-English speaking films, be it Erotic or otherwise. I would much rather have the original "in the moment" acting with subtitles than non-intentionally hilarious overacting. Phony "oohs" and "ahhs" do not add to the sensuality of a film. When the sex is good, you do not need to hear what is being said. The emotions relay the storyline. Unfortunately, dubbing removes the emotional aspect. As with most European period skinflicks of this genre, the sex scenes are interesting and intense. This film is along the same lines as Josephine, Sensational/Professional Janine.

The best thing about it is the English dub
Wolfgang_Rodenbach1 December 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Judge Gregor von Klingenberg is being honored for his honorable work as well as his upstanding family. But in reality he is a sadist who mistreats his maid Friederike on a regular basis. Also, apart from doing his marital duties with his wife, he cares nothing about anyone's pleasure but his own. When journalist Achim Zeitler comes over for an interview, he catches the judge in the act with Friederike, confronts him and still manages to get a date with the Judge's daughter Maria.
At night, son Hubert sneaks into Friederike's room, who is still busy pleasuring herself after the judge left her unsatisfied. Hubert is engaged to her sister Veronika, but as she is in the middle of her period he wants to get it on with Friederike instead. She refuses to take her sisters place but concedes in joining him in a mutual masturbation act. The next day Friederike tells her sad life story to Maria which we of course see in an extended 'Flash-Zurück'.
Meanwhile journalist and now Maria's boyfriend Achim Z. has been fired thanks to the Judge. Together with the maid, the two young lovers plan to get even with the nasty Von Klingenberg. But first, Achim wants to show Maria what real love is. They decide to ask her father's secretary if she has any useful information and end up catching her mother in the act with Doktor Kollbitz.
Now all Maria needs is to find out some dirty little secret about her brother Hubert. Luckily Frederique has another anecdote ready to tell. After she introduced Hubert to her sister Veronika, he confessed only being able to get aroused by watching a woman pleasure herself. Despite of this handicap, Hubert still manages to work as a male prostitute to rich girls so he can pay off his gambling debts.
This late seventies Hans Billian production was obviously an entry in the then popular 'period porn' genre instigated by Josefine Mutzenbacher and the like. As usual it is hard to find any actor or actress in the entire film that could be considered attractive, and therefore none of the sex scenes are particularly exciting. However, the film did get dubbed into English for an early Eighties video release in the USA and it is the dub which makes it worthwhile. From the opening lines the characters are throwing insults and scoffs at each other that made me smile. Also amusing are all the Instrumental versions of 'The Entertainer', 'House of the Rising Sun' 'Kumbaya' and other, less recognizable standards off the same record playing in the background.
