Chinese Kamasutra – DVD Review
The Film:

Joe D’Amato (who goes under the pseudonym Chang Lee Sun) is at it again showing an abundance of softcore sex in this 1993 film.

Before you know it she is masturbating like a pro, experiencing wild fantasies and having regular orgies with a Kama Sutra cult – whose leader could be mistaken for Manny Pacquiao.

Two skintastic films set for DVD
One 7 Movies is releasing two hard-to-find exploitation movies on January 11, 2011.

“Emma Bovary (Edwige Fenech) is an aristocratic woman deeply bored by her bourgeois life. Married to a man she does not love anymore, and fearing that her youth and life may vanish in the service of a man who does not know how to please a woman any more, she starts dreaming about another love.”

“Joan Parker (the gorgeous Georgia Emerald) is a British librarian who stumbles by accident on an ancient book that contains the forbidden secrets of the Chinese Kama Sutra. She digs deeps into the pages of the mysterious book and starts having wild fantasies about her own sexuality, which has always been very tame. Nevertheless, she does not accept the advances of her fellow Chinese librarian. Unaware that every night she’s being watched from the windows of an ancient haunted house, she finds herself little...
