Emmanuelle: L'antivierge

'Nothing is wrong if it feels good...'


Anyone who's studied or watched straight softcore porn from the 70's and 80's has heard of the series of Emmanuelle movies.  The sexually insatiable Emmanuelle seems to travel around, having cinema staged erotic sex with both men and women, friends, lovers, strangers, in a variety of  beautifully filmed locations. 

 Umberto Orsini

The softcore series featured Netherlands actress Sylvia Kristel who gained international fame for her role in the film.  I remember browsing video stores in the 1990's and 2000's, and seeing the DVD covers on the shelves, but never bothered to rent one, thinking it would only be nude women on display. 


Recently however, thanks to poster KC on Dreamcap, I learned I was wrong.  Although there does not appear to  be any male nudity of note in the original 1974 film, several hot actors started to strip off beginning with the 1975 sequel, Emmanuelle: L'antivierge.  Although she had regular affairs, Emmanuelle was actually married to Jean, played by Italian actor Umberto Orsini.  Umberto has several butt scenes in the film. 


After seeing the male nudity in Emmanuelle II, I had to then check out Emmanuelle III.  You can check out a brief frontal from Umberto, as well as more nudity from Goodbye Emmanuelle on FH HERE:

Frédéric Lagache

After two months of separation, Emmanuelle must find her husband Jean in Hong Kong. She goes there by boat. Once in Thailand, she finds her husband and meets Christopher, a mysterious airplane pilot. At a dinner, she also meets Laura, Jean's mistress and her troubling stepdaughter Anna Maria. She proceeds to have several extramarital affairs -- with Jean's knowledge, of course.


The highlight from Emmanuelle II was definitely the brief, soapy frontal from the stunningly hot Frédéric Lagache who played Christopher.  This sadly was Frédéric's only nude scene, and his only film credit that I could find.  The only other credits listed on his IMDB are music video shorts, with Emmanuelle II the one and only acting credit.




Venantino Venantini

There is a second brief frontal and sex scene featuring Emmanuelle with artist turned actor Venantino Venantini.  I'm not usually that into heavily tatted bodies, but I can see why Emmanuelle was so drawn to the naked polo player.  Polo Player is actually Venantino's official credit in the film.  After seeing him strip in the polo locke room, Emmanuelle makes her move....
