For me this movie is a prologue to "PORNUCOPIA" by Piers Anthony. In "Shivers" we see a birth of a world that is not just obsessed with sex - it has sex as a religion.

I didn't like this movie's ending. I prefer the happier endings. He should have set fire to the place at least.

You left out Rabid. I saw it as a kid and spent the hour afterwards depressed. Then I ate some ice cream and the world was wonderful again. Ah, childhood.
