Contents/Summary

Summary
Filmed at Pandora's Box, the luxurious S&M parlour in New York, the film reveals a full range of fetishes; from rubber and infantilism, to asphyxiation and mummification. Several festishes take on a bizarre sociopolitical twist: Jewish clients into Nazi fantasies, black clients into plantation slave scenarios, a white policeman submitting to a black master. As one client remarks: "Fetishes are the eroticization of the worst thing you can ever imagine happening to you." Clients pay upwards of $10,000 a night to submit to a mistress who creates highly elaborate role-playing scenarios designed to meet her client's specific fetishistic needs. Doctors and nurses, naked wrestling to bullwhipping, are played out in diverse theme rooms, including the customary medieval torture chamber with racks, cages and guillotines.
