What happens

Aphrodesia's Diary is an American-French pornographic film shot in 1979 — primarily in New York but also in Paris — and released in 1983. It was directed by French pornographer Gérard Kikoïne and co-produced by Radley Metzger, who may have served as an advisor but is not credited. The film is related to Metzger's The Tale of Tiffany Lust, also shot in New York in 1979 with the same imported French stars, Dominique Saint Claire and Morgane. The two films also have French cinematographer Gérard Loubeau and, less remarkably, American actors and technicians in common. It is probable that they were made consecutively in Winter-Spring 1979, with the international cast and crew assembled for Kikoïne's big-budget co-production Aphrodesia reused for Metzger's Tiffany, itself quite lavish by pornographic standards. The film was released during the Golden Age of Porn (inaugurated by the 1969 release of Andy Warhol's Blue Movie) in the United States, at a time of "porno chic", in which adult erotic films were just beginning to be widely released, publicly discussed by celebrities (like Johnny Carson and Bob Hope) and taken seriously by film critics (like Roger Ebert).
