The Mating Urge background

The Mating Urge

The film, disguised as a documentary, weaves together footage from various cinematographers across Africa, Asia, and the Pacific, showcasing a kaleidoscope of diverse and exotic settings.

An exploitation film masquerading as an art-house documentary, "The Dance of the Fertility Tree" and "The Peek-A-Boo Betrothal" showcase strange love rituals from around the world, including re-enactments and archival footage. The film features scenes of nudity, but its primary focus is on showcasing macho-virility exercises, such as a traditional New Hebrides practice where men leap from tall trees with vines attached to their ankles.
