The sea. Primordial cradle of life. Birthplace of man. This ever-moving, ever-changing substance,

containing billions of living particles, issued forth and then washed ashore. Beginners, man

and his mate are only one of countless species who inhabit the fertile earth. He has perfected his

thinking processes and created for himself the crutch of civilization to harbor him in his

environment. Man alone could not accomplish this feat of the millenniums. His source of strength,

comfort, need, and physical fulfillment was enhanced and complimented by his beautiful

counterpart, woman. To those whose fantasies see only the soft beauty of storybook love,

the light of passion and glow of warm desire, and who think these ideals are all that is needed to

make the modern marriage prevail. Let those who believe this take heed and remember. There is more

involved for man and woman who enter the covenant of marriage. It is not all that it seems for the

young Marriott.

- Honey, you are out of sight! (laughs)

Turn me on!

You know, women ought to be forced to come here

to study how it ought to be done.

- Oh, at least my wife can move like that.

- Yeah, these broads are really not a move.

This is the story of one of the young Marriots, Ben,

who has been watching the performance of his ideal woman,

the stripper.

She is a nice piece.

Do you suppose I go down on the sarg?

- What do you think?

Man, I bet she swings both ways.

- Hey, what do you mean?

- You know, I bet she's A-C-B-C.

- Oh, come off it. A broad like that?

- Sure, why not?

- 'Cause it's weird, man. It's just not right.

- What's right and wrong when it comes to sex?

A lot of people do things you never think about.

- Like what?

- Well, like the president of one bank

sleeping with the president of another bank.

- That's a lot of crap. - It happens.

- I don't care if it happens. I don't like fags and queers.

- That doesn't change it. People still do it,

whether you like talking about it or not.

- Anybody who does that kind of stuff is a lousy, weirdo freak.

That's all there is to it.

- Okay, okay.

- Listen, I gotta leave now. I'm late as it is.

- Okay. Take it easy.

- Ben is the normal middle-class husband of America.

His search for personal fulfillment

is the truth of the story you are about to view.

You will see his anxieties develop as he progresses

into the freedom of being himself.

This transformation is due in part by the initiation

of his mate into similar experiences.

[music]

(drums beating)

- Come on, get in.

- Hi, I want to sell out cars.

You don't see what it's like to be the government kind of guy.

- It's a laugh.

- Well, I have another one at home.

How far are you going?

- I don't know, how far would you like to go?

- Come on, you're putting me on.

The guy thinks about this type of thing happening,

but I'd never believe it ever would.

- Well, you can believe it now.

This is your lucky day.

I feel good, I want to get sucked, and you're it.

- Well, where do we go?

Hotel, your place?

- No sweat, I know a perfect place.

Let's head up the coast for a little bit.

- Head up the coast, all right.

(wind blowing)

- How hard are you?

- It's really hard, did I do that?

- You did that just in two blocks.

- Really, you saw me there, huh?

- Right.

- Did you get girls very often?

- No, none at all.

- I bet.

- No, not really.

- Why do it as often as I can?

- I bet.

- You're the best one I've had all week, Bill.

- We'll see.

- It's not like you know what you're talking about.

- It's just some experience.

- I can tell, that's why I got in the car with you.

(waves crashing)

- How fast will this thing go?

- Oh, not too fast.

It's actually a Volkswagen.

- You wanna do it here?

I might get a thorn in my ass or something.

- I wouldn't let that happen.

It's beautiful here.

I like to get on out on the roof.

It's nice and all that stuff.

- I don't know.

Is there any chance of us getting caught?

- No way.

Come on, I'll do you good.

I wanna see what's between the legs.

- The guilt complex, which we all seem to have in degrees,

at first prevents Ben from participating fully

in a sex play with the lovely young girl.

(gentle music)

- Well, I hope you know what you're doing.

- Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

- After her initiating the first moves for intercourse,

Ben begins to feel he can relate in a more relaxed manner.

This is what he seeks, what he wants.

A woman without tendencies to frustrate him.

- Oh, it is nice out here.

- Yeah, it makes a good light.

- Well, I feel funny.

- Why's that?

- Getting out of my clothes out here in the woods.

- Now, are you afraid of bug bites?

- No, not bug bites.

- My bite?

- No, not your bite.

- Well, what do you say to him?

- I am not afraid of anything.

Ben's wife manifests the opposite of his fantasy.

Hi, honey.

Hey, Pan.

Oh, hell.

Well, sir, I think I'll shower before I have dinner.

I've had a hard day.

Right, Ben.

I guess you've seen enough today.

Where?

I mean, you've been in one of those -- those nude places.

I suppose I look tame after that.

Dammit, I told you, I just go there to look at the girls.

Then why not look at me?

Not the same.

I don't feel as better looking than I am.

No, it's not that.

Just that they dig turning guys on and what they have to show.

And I'm not because I'm frigid.

It's true.

You don't get all steamed up.

I would if you'd pay more attention to me.

All right.

Let's see your tits.

Ben, the lights are on.

Sure, just like in the bar.

Let's see if you can turn me on like those chicks do.

You play with them.

You play with them.

Show me like -- like I sit in a bar.

Do it like when I sit in a bar.

Play with them, Jenny.

Good, good.

So big.

I can't do this, Ben.

I just can't.

You're hung up.

That's a problem.

You're just hung up bad.

I'm not like you.

That's for damn sure.

You're not so damn perfect.

You have your hangups, too.

Oh, yeah?

I don't know of any, do you?

What about queers and lesbians?

Now, wait a minute.

Queers and lesbians aren't normal.

I'm talking about normal man and woman, not what goes on out in the street.

Well, I think that.

You want to talk about this all night and not get anywhere, or do you want to do what we were doing?

Is that what you want?

Is that close enough for you?

Can you stick your head right down by my pussy?

Is that what -- is that what you want?

Jesus Christ.

Only through his wife's anger will Ben achieve a release for his need.

He will be able to pour out his desires and act aggressively in his marriage duties.

In the cruel realities of the next day, Ben returns to his daily labors.

Hey, Ben, Ben.

Oh, what?

Hey, well, you were really lost, weren't you?

I guess I was. What's up?

Listen, I just want to check on the Ferber account.

You know, there are a couple payments behind.

Yeah, I'll get right on it.

Hey, you were really in deep thought, weren't you, you lucky dog?

Although partially satisfied with the loving share of his wife,

he still has a hollow feeling that needs to be filled.

His conscious self turns inward to seek the dream world of thought

that compensates for his lack of security in the real world.

Through the use of this dream fantasy, Ben is able to relate to something.

The stripper helps him to evolve his thinking in one plan,

one that he hopes will help solve his sex problem.

Hello?

Six ten, you're getting better.

Oh, a surprise. How nice.

We're going to have a lot of fun with this.

I'll show it to you when we go to bed.

Oh, a camera. Can you see it, Ben?

Yeah, we're going to have a lot of fun with this.

I'm going to start my own photo collection.

You mean of me?

Of course.

I don't know.

You'll love it. You pose and I'll take the pictures.

I want you to see how good you really look.

As good as those girls in Playboy magazine?

Better.

Now, armed with the tools necessary to start his experiment of love learning,

Ben approaches his wife with mixed emotions.

The stimulus of being photographed excites her.

She poses seductively as an exhibitionist.

However, she is still in competition with the fantasy dancer of Ben's mind.

Oh, Ben, put the camera down.

Please put the camera down and come and take me now.

which has become his retreat and refuge.

- Hey, Ben. You had any news on that Ferber account yet?

- Damn it. It flipped my mind completely, Jim.

I'll get on it today.

- You're really into something, huh?

Anything you want to talk about?

- Uh, don't worry, Jim.

Not a problem, really. It's actually the reverse.

- You mean a solution?

- Yeah, I just solved a big problem in my life,

and I can't get over it.

- Hey, I know what you feel.

Went through the same thing myself.

- What do you mean?

- Well, hell, Ben. It's pretty obvious

you got a sexual problem.

I mean, at least that's it, right?

- Yeah.

- That's what I thought.

You know, Donna, I went through the same thing myself.

- Yeah, I got involved in one of those swinging clubs.

Took her to a few orgies. You know, that opened her up.

- You and Donna? Orgies?

Take a look at these.

Hey, that's Donna with those two guys.

- That's right. You know, she likes it best that way.

One in her mouth, and one down below, you know?

- Wait a minute. You're moving too damn fast.

You mean you let Donna suck off other guys while you...

- Well, while I take pictures, or while I screw the wives,

or, you know, anything like that.

Blows me, whatever.

- Damn.

- It takes some getting used to, you know?

My first time, I was really shook up, pretty shaky.

But I learned fast.

It takes a man and, you know, gets you turned on

to see another guy take an interest in your wife.

- I don't know.

- Hey, take your time, too. Think about it.

You know, there's no hurry.

She's a fine girl. Real fine.

- No, forget it. She'd never do it.

- No, no?

- It's not her thing.

- You ever ask her?

- You know, she might surprise you.

Donna surprised me.

- What's this thing?

- It's a timer.

With this, I'll be able to get into the pictures with you.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah, we can take some real action shots.

- Ben, can I ask you something?

- Sure.

- Can I do anything I want?

- Of course, that's why I'm doing all this,

to try to get you to loosen up.

- Good, because I want to be in charge tonight.

(alarm rings)

I want you to take orders from me.

I want to do things my way.

We'll take them when I want to take them.

- Just the beginning.

I feel good, Ben.

Better than I ever have before.

I guess it's what you've been saying all along.

- Don't worry about what it is.

Just dig it.

- Get the camera ready.

- It's all ready.

- I want you to take pictures of me 'til I'm tired,

and I want you to take pictures of both of us.

- Whatever turns you on.

- Whatever turns me on.

Use this for me, Ben.

- You want some of this?

It hurt pretty bad.

- Try me.

That's OK.

That's what I wanted.

Maybe someday I'll give you a taste of that.

You'll probably like it too.

Come here, love, when my mouth feels dry.

Hi, Jim.

I was wondering if you'd drop by later.

Sure, Ben.

You got something on your mind?

Yeah.

You know what we were talking about yesterday, and I--

Yeah, what?

I've got some photos you might be interested in.

Sure, pal.

I know what you're talking about.

Hey, I'll be down as soon as I can.

Yes, but how well have you known her?

Well, as well as any married man knows his wife.

Well, then you obviously haven't known her that well, Jim.

All right, just try and relax.

The wolf. The wolf is a threat to the home, you know?

The wind and the wolf. The door.

What, hey, wolf, like, could you just go away, huh?

I mean, don't keep... don't keep doing that, wolf, huh?

Go away. Don't... don't blow my heart down.

I didn't do anything.

Just go away.

You're mean.

I hate you. You blew my clouds. I hate you.

Tune in tomorrow to find out if those rumors about

Joan, and George, and Barbara are really true.

And will the genius twins ever come to terms

on the brink

of... of... of... of... of... of... of... of...

Ben, hey, what you got?

- Look at these. - ( whistling )

Goddamn, she's a beauty.

- Look at her face. - Man, she sure is all in that.

Yeah, I was thinking about what you... what you said yesterday.

And I think I'd like to bring her to one of her parties sometime.

I think I'm gonna ask her about it. She might enjoy all that attention.

Hell, yeah, she'd enjoy it. Who wouldn't?

Hey, tell you what, you show her that.

I bet that'll do the trick.

- So that's what it looks like. - Were you curious?

All women are. Imagine having two guys on you.

It's disgusting, but exciting at the same time.

Would you like to try it? I could arrange it.

But you'd let some other guy do it to me.

Why? Would it turn you on?

Don't get so goddamn puffy. I'm not trying to cheat on you.

Sure, I'd let another guy screw you, do you some good,

make you see where it's at.

- For you? - Well, I'd screw their wives.

- Lovely. - Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.

- Okay, then set it up. Only... - Only what?

I want to make sure all the men are well hung.

I want some big cocks for a change.

I know what you want, you hot little bitch.

You want all the cock you can get.

Oh, babe, everything's ready.

You know, I think I'm gonna have a great time tonight.

Everything's ready, and Betty and Greg, they're good people.

They're good people.

Well, I hope they don't sit around all night after we ball.

I hope they don't want to sit around and chew the fat all night.

Yeah, I know. Well, relax.

Let me fix you a drink and well and wine a little before they get here, okay?

Oh, I forgot.

You know, Ben's coming tonight.

- Ben Garrett from work? - Mm-hmm, yeah.

Ben and Ginny, I finally talked them into it.

You know, I've had it for that goddamn bitch ever since I met her.

- That should be interesting. - You know what they say.

They say two's a company, three's a blast.

But...

How about this?

How about a latch in the night, honey?

Hmm?

Come on, you don't want to wear yourself out before tonight.

- Oh, really? - No.

[Music]

Ben and his spouse with deep second feelings arrive for their sexual test.

They both are anxious about what will happen next, but are determined to stick it out.

Here we are.

To tell you the truth, Ben, I'm nervous. I mean, really nervous.

To tell you the truth, Jenny, I'm a little nervous too.

Let's go.

[Music]

I want you to meet, uh...

[Music]

Would you mind, I...

I told you, I'm not a superhero. Go find someone else.

Hey, why don't you get up your desk and go get her a drink?

What the hell do you think I am, a waiter?

Yeah, get up and get me a drink, dammit.

Get everybody a drink.

[Music]

Hey, I'll tell you what. Anybody else want a drink?

Okay, sir.

[Music]

What are you doing, you stupid lesbian?

Oh, you learned, honey. You learned, honey.

What a weirdo.

You mean you actually like making it with a girl?

Oh, sure. It's wonderful.

You have to be some kind of a sicko.

Oh, no. A girl knows just what to do.

What happened to the picture?

Nothing.

[Music]

Let's go, Ben. Come on, take you home.

Jenny, we've talked about this, and we agreed that we would come and try it once.

Ben, I want to go home. Would you take me home?

Settle down, have a drink.

I'm not going to settle down. I'm not going to have a drink. I told you I wanted to go.

I'm not going to stay here. Not with all these maniacs. It's sickening. It really is.

Just sit back, have a drink, and relax.

I just can't stay here, that's all. I just can't handle it.

I can't get behind these people. It's just too much. So I just, I'm not going to stay here.

You stay here, and I'll go home.

We've talked about it, and we decided we would come here and try it once.

What's wrong with that chick out there anyway?

Oh, don't let her get to you, Greg.

You know, she's never been to one of these parties before. She's kind of new to it.

You've worked on her for a while.

I hope she isn't going to mess up the whole party.

No, I don't think so. You know we have pretty good parties most of the time.

I think we can work around her.

Straight? Please.

Ten more minutes. I'm not going to stay here any longer.

If I don't like it, I'm just going to take the car keys, and I'm going to go home by myself.

Here we go.

You're not going home. You can stay with that girl.

Thank you. Come on, eat it.

What are you doing?

God, if it isn't a lesbian, it's a sex maniac.

Put me down. What's the matter with you?

Hey, relax. Enjoy yourself.

How can I enjoy myself with a bunch of ex-zookeepers?

Will you get away from me? Span, will you do something?

Come on, let's fight it.

Leave my legs alone.

Jim should have told me more about you.

You think I'm that good?

I don't know yet.

I think I'm going to find out, though.

Oh, God.

This is great.

Oh, God.

Your skin's so soft.

You're so hot.

The couples have paired, and Ben has found his complying female and is happy.

Come on, baby. Come on.

His wife, with her usual complaining zeal, uses rejection as a shield.

However, her companion for the night is dominant enough to force her to do things she really wanted.

♪ (banging)

(waves crashing)

- Let us be patient, tender, wise,

forgiving in this strange task of living.

For if we fail each other,

each will be gray driftwood lapsing.
