The Call-Girl racket... The thrill-seeking housewives... The Street-Walkers... This is their lurid story
Different stories about prostitution. In a brothel, two women fight in front of the customers. In the meantime, everything is taking place in the building. Thus an erotic ritual degenerates into a complete orgy. A man is molested at home by a transvestite and a call girl comes into contact with psychedelic drugs.

Programmer's Pick
If you want your sexploitation with a side of pseudo-journalistic flair, Lusting Hours delivers the goods—equal parts exposé and voyeuristic parade. The Amero brothers’ black-and-white lens doesn’t flinch from the seedier, kinkier, and sometimes absurd moments of life on both sides of the red-light divide.
