The film follows the private investigation Mr. Mann launches to keep an eye on his wife, Pamela (the delightful Barbara Bourbon), whom he suspects of infidelity. Frank (Eric Edwards) is the private detective hired for this task, and from the start, he's captivated by his subject's sexual magnetism. Pamela is a free and independent woman who exudes a raw and uninhibited sexuality. Their private encounters and meetings are, indeed, a feast for the senses, both hers and those of others, conveying an explicit nature that doesn't sacrifice style, sophistication, or elegance.

The master of erotic cinema, Radley Metzger, does it again with "The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann," filling the film's scenes with subtle visual and auditory gags—sometimes hilarious, but always sociological or political—ultimately revealing a socially redemptive value. Rarely has an adult filmmaker displayed such an elegant gesture of disdain toward the "detractors of immorality." You'll fall in love with this true gem of adult cinema, and also with the exuberant Pamela Mann.
