From nudies to roughies to ultra weird regional curiosities, the sexploitation world welcomed any filmmaker working in any genre, so long as the limits of nudity and sex on screen were pushed as far as they could go - but never all the way. DISTRIBPIX, one of the legendary names in the genre (and whose extensive library will be the backbone of this line), will offer single, double, and even triple feature Blu-rays highlighting works from every corner and crevice of softcore smut, from the dawn of nudie cuties to the all-but-hard 70s, with plentiful lost and never on disc films along the way.
The legendary Erotic Memoirs of Male Chauvinist Pig (1973) is a wildly fascinating throwback to the early years of explicit feature films.
Made by artist, and sometime master forger, Raymond C. Hoersch, the existential plot recounts the story of a misogynist and his travails with a series of women – and whilst exploiting all manner of taboos along the way. Highlights include a golden (beer) shower, a crude sexual violation, hot bondage and some messy copulation.
Featuring the cream of the pioneering adult film talent of East Coast erotic cinema including Tina Russell, Darby Lloyd Raines, Georgina Spelvin, and Helen Madigan, The Erotic Memoirs of Male Chauvinist Pig is a fascinating curio from the unforgettable grindhouse days of New York City’s adult cinema.

"With the cast including Darby Lloyd Raines, Georgina Spelvin, Helen Madigan, Tina Russell and the wild, somewhat surreal script written and codirected by R. C. Horsch, this dreamlike film is an outlier in the Mélusine catalogue. I'm hoping it gets upgraded to Blu sometime soon. But I'm likely out of luck!"
"This is one I'm not itching for an upgrade of, but I'm happy to have on DVD. Standard early 70s fare."
"Great film. Hope you will release it on blu ray."
"Distasteful film with central character mumbling through mercifully muddy soundtrack the kind of meaningless gibberish that often passes for depth by writers influenced by a muse otherwise known as a bottle of scotch. Ugly in the extreme both visually and in substance."
"A great movie"
"wasnt for me but the artwork was good and added to the collection"
"another great golden age adult classic nice picture quality for DVD and loads extras"
"This movie is fun and bit of a dark comedy. It is better as that than it is as a porno. The sex-scenes are pretty brief but at least hardcore. The music in the film is nice and groovy. I liked the Georgina Spelvin interview and this DVD also comes with a nice slipcover and even a booklet. Recommended."
"This one is a bit strange, but glad I picked it up. Georgina Spelvin is the name, but she's done better work. She is effective in her scenes, but whether this is "erotic" or not is up to taste. A bit of it borders on roughie territory, though there's no real threat. I liked seeing young Helen Madigan and wish there were more of her. If you enjoy the decidedly non-glam look of the women in this kind of porn, this has its merits. Some attempts at dark humor that mostly work for me, and the ending is even a bit sweet. I liked the Georgina Spelvin interview on the disc. And the booklet had a nice essay about Raymond C. Hoersch."
"Not bad early 70s skin flick with a good cast. Always great to see Spelvin, Darby Lloyd Rains and Tina Russell. Good DVD package."
