This is based on the same story as the later Sex & Zen. A man married a beautiful woman and has lots of sex. But decides it was not enough so leaves his wife behind temporarily to take an exam to further his career but moreso uses it to expand his sexual encounters with other women.
The story is there but mostly is played thru for humor that usually misses the mark and to lead to softcore sex scenes. The women actresses are all extraordinary beautiful. They all get fully naked. Abundant pubic hair is displayed in prominence.
This definitely pales compared to Sex & Zen. The script was just weaker here. The humor usually didn't work for me. Often it was more stupid than funny. Some sex scenes were erotic but not all. At times this movie just dragged. I can't really recommend this one.

Erotic Revenge Tale
From Hong Kong, this sublimely filmed erotic piece, concerns a Nobleman who sets out on a journey of sexual conquest, when he finds that his new young wife is not enough to satisfy his insatiable sexual desires. Offering a LOT of full frontal nudity provided by numerous gorgeous actresses, and featuring some stunning set pieces, costumes, and more garish color than you will find in Dario Argento's "Suspiria." Things progress nicely until he steals the young wife of a vengeful and proud husband, who decides to exact revenge. The spurned man embarks on his own journey, to the home of the wife of his nemesis. Very worthwhile, yet obscure Hong Kong production features many beautiful set pieces and a high quota of nudity and sex,,some of which is comic, but most of it very erotic. Featuring a dark and sombre conclusion, which I will not divulge here. Highly recommended for fans of erotica and Asian cinema, this one is sure to please fans of both genres.
