The Review:

Yikes! Having sex can be nothing more than a 9 to 5 job for a lot of men. Nothing like soft core porn to get your attention late at night HBO’s “Real Sex” has garnered a lot of negative attention and raised a lot of men to attention whenever it’s aired. “Cathouse”, like that series, has real sexual encounters and gets about as explicit as cable can be without a rating and without being called hardcore porn. What matters here, though, is that this is all real stuff. We get a peak at a 19 year old’s first time with the girls at a brothel but, more importantly, we actually get interviews with these gals telling you about why they do what they do. Some consider themselves sex therapists while others make other claims. Either way the oldest profession in the world continues to get loving care from HBO. While none of the sex is as explicit as an X-rated movie, it’s enough to get your attention. So you’ll geta bit of sex, nudity and lots of talking at the Bunny Ranch Brothel. ---

Image and Sound: “Cathouse” looks very good. The show looks like it might be shot on digital video to me. The flesh tones look natural and the colors practically vibrate off the screen. The stereo soundtrack doesn’t make good use of the format but that’s not really what it’s there for.
The Extras:

We get outtakes from interviews with owner Dennis Hof. We find out that Air Force Amy has “done a small city”. I don’t know if I’d want to know that if I was there.

Commentary: No commentary track.
Final Words: A documentary that titillates without getting as explicit as many porn shows (or even “Real Sex”), “Cathouse” may get a rise out of you either way you end up feeling about it.
