Space Babes from the Planet Sex
Three not‑very‑sexy White girls crash‑land in a similarly‑White part of Earth and find sexual love among the Caucasian natives.
First the audience is treated to a typically‑poor display of White dancing at a bikini beach‑party. Then, we witness some pretty‑feeble comedy as the mostly not‑very‑good actors go through the motions of pretending to have a lust for all of the pleasures life has to offer.
There is then the strange suggestion that alcohol and sex can mix, as if the Whites require chemical disinhibitors to help them relax enough to enjoy what they claim to be already hot for. Like Viagra, this suggests Whites are not in touch with their bodies and, therefore, their sexualities; making this movie that ultimate contradiction: A sexy movie for both the prudish and those sexually‑lazy enough to believe that sex will happen simply because one is young. At least there is no absurd claim that one needs to abandon all self‑control to fully‑enjoy sex – and for that one is truly thankful. (Along with the fact that none of the girls are hideous.)
Whites are also shown here as lacking any real passion for sharing their sexual desires with others, rather more than they are for showing that they have such desires, in the first place. Lacking any actual desire for sexual intercourse, these characters indulge in the narcissistic pleasures of posing; rather than in espousing any deep‑seated interest in any kind of fulfillment that sex‑without‑guilt could offer them.
There is even here the odd White obsession with risking their lives through cancer‑causing sunbathing, in order to temporarily achieve a darker flesh‑tone; revealing an essential dissatisfaction with the skin‑they‑live‑in the rest of the time. As with the similarly‑dangerous activity of smoking, this is the Thanatos aspect of White sexuality; dominating the Eros aspect.
Only a prude believes the human body to be sexy‑as‑such. In reality, it must be accompanied by someone who actually likes sex, since such people are the only ones who are always automatically‑sexy. Such a limited, limiting and superficial definition of “totally hot” is more anaphrodisiac than anything more cock‑stiffening, since this movie falls into the usual White trap of believing that there are such things as sexy clothes, rather than the sexy people who might choose to wear them. In this sense, Sarah BELLOMO gives the movie’s most believable performance in what is mostly a characterless mess.
Ultimately, this movie is little more than a Peeping Tom’s delight, with its soft‑core, soft‑focus & emotionally‑repressed vision of human sexuality. Rather than being a movie to masturbate‑to or to fire the sexual imagination with one’s partner, that it could so easily have been, with just a little more effort and conviction.
