Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
The lives of two women involved in Japan's sex industry are chronicled in this Japanese pleasurefest that features full-frontal nudity and some fairly explicit sex scenes. The women, Rei and Ayumi are friends involved in different aspects of the booming sex trade. Rei dresses in scanty leather outfits and works at an S&M club where she whips, body pierces, and playfully torments her businessmen clients, but never has sex with them. She dreams of becoming an actress and belongs to an experimental theater group where she sleeps with and gives VD to several members. Ayumi is a prostitute and is saving her money so that she can eventually marry. She lives with a loving young student who doesn't know about her vocation. When not working, Ayumi and Rei go out on the town where they joyfully flirt with men in bars and have fun. At the story's end, the two pals are seen freely swimming nude in the ocean.
