We look down from some unspecified point, perhaps a light fixture in a ceiling. It doesn't matter. We can see four couples in a living room, transmitting an energy we can feel. They're energized because they know what the evening will be. They've done this many times before, and there is no need or indeed, interest in changing what they do.
One man, with thinning brown hair, rises from the chair and turns in the TV. The state lottery numbers show up, being chosen by ping pong balls. It's over in a few minutes, and the theme from the game show sounds.
The host who turned on the TV is George. He'll go first. We see him lean forward to hear the question.
"What is the largest mountain range in South America?"
"The Andes!" George shouts. The show host confirms him to be right.
George looks over to the woman on his right, tall and broad-shouldered.
"What battle does "the shot heard around the word" refer to?"
"Gettysburg?" she answers uncertainly.
Wrong. She kicks off her shoes as the others in the group applaud her error.
And so it continues. An article of clothing comes off with each incorrect answer. As it happens, the man they call Ralph, just showing some middle-aged spread, is nude first. He obligates his wife Sherry to become nude, and they will be the first couple to take a post. After another 10 minutes of play, Angela is stripped, and Frank complies and strips. The scene is now set.
We follow them through the door to a large room. There the rest strip. The men show themselves to be stimulated to a point where their erections are already half formed.
There is a large bed in the middle of the room, unusual in that it is a large square. On each side of the square is a suspended truss, such that each leg is put into a soft ring of fabric, and the person so seated has his or her legs spread and genitals exposed. The suspended seat is connected to a pulley which can raise or lower it.
Ralph takes the east, and Sherry takes the opposite side of the bed. Frank takes the south and Angela the opposite.
George sets the timer at one minute. He stands in front of Sherry, while his wife, the full -figured Nancy takes a place facing Ralph. Larry faces Angela, and Janine faces Frank.
Without a word, they reach down and crank the seats to position where the crotches of those seated are at eye level with the others.
George hits the timer, and those standing caress the thighs of those suspended. No one says a word, and all we hear is deep breathing.
The timer sounds, and George resets and those standing move one position clockwise, an erotic circle dance. Men face men, and women face women. The thigh rubbing resumes.
