As if once wasn’t bad enough, Zalman King decided to make a sequel to his boring sexpot thriller. This one has absolutely nothing to do with the original except for the title and its emphasis on the lurid sexual awakening of a young woman. Nina Siemaszko plays an innocent girl who is sent from a young age to go live in a whorehouse and learn everything about human sexuality that she possibly can. Of course, in King’s world, what she learns has more to do with an X-rated Victoria’s Secret catalogue than actual humanity. This film features plenty of breasts and lingerie, but very little intelligence or actual sexual exploration (for something better watch Bliss).
