those men!

Why is it that in these softcore films from the 70´s, the men are as ugly as sin??? "Emmanuelle & the White Slave Trade" is a prime example where, the women are beautiful and the men are old, fat, bald, or just plain UGLY! Does someone have an opinion as to why it was like this? I think that it is a fantasy, aimed at men, who like to think that they can get close to gorgeous women, no matter what they looked like. Or perhaps these ugly leches were just buddies of the director.. anyway, poor Laura Gemser; having to kiss and be drooled over by these awful men! For those interested in seeing some attractive men in an Emmanuelle film for a change, check out "Emmanuelle 4" for some fine, sexy Brazillian guys! It is not a matter of sexual orientation; i just think erotic scenes are sexier when the guy is attractive as well..

In Emmanuelle Queen of sados, the main villain is actually somewhat good looking. Pity he is a sleazebag.

Is Gabriele Tinti (Gemser’s husband) not considered handsome?

Yes, Gabriele Tinti IS an extremely handsome and sexy guy. I was referring more to every OTHER man in this film. I mean, they were so homely that it actually became distracting. Other then that, this is a great movie, one of the better 'Emanuelle' films.
