Dirty Doctor Deviate (1970)


There have been so many "sex therapist" movies. The Indecent Behavior movies, The Nymph Tapes (1973), Lust Sessions (2008), The Healers (1972), etc. the list goes on. This is one of the grimier entries into the genre; but it stars Sandy Dempsey and a couple other good looking ladies.  I couldn't find any movie posters for this film, and even the title screen (above) appears to have been made for later versions; so, this is a rather obscure treat.


Susan James (Sheri Jackson) has come to seek medical help for her failing marriage.  The narrator informs us that the Doctor (John Dullaghan) is a sham and con artist.

Like a lot of sexploitation films from the sixties and earlier, this, at times, tries to come off as a public service documentary.  Afraid to embrace the sexual content (no doubt due to legal fears), it masquerades as a warning and a cautionary tale  In this case, it pretends to warn the public against being taken in by fraudulent sex therapists.

We've seen Sheri Jackson in Alice in Acidland (1969) and The Babysitter (1969); but this is a substantially more graphic role.

 The doctor puts her under hypnosis.

 He then takes advantage of her (i.e. rapes her); peeling off her clothes then humping her.

Nurse Joyce (Donna Young) is also in on the scam.  You'll remember Young as the female lead in Zero in and Scream(1971).



The doctor and Nurse Joyce make a house call to see Susan James and her husband Glen (William Howard).

The doctor has Glenn and Susan have sex in their bedroom while they watch.

Well, the doctor does do a bit more than watch.

Angela (Sandy Dempsey) is his next patient.  She's worried she may be turning into a lesbian.

The doctor has Nurse Joyce test her lesbian appetite.


The doc joins in... which would seem to invalidate his experiment.  

Susan and Glenn return for another session.

They join Angela and her lover in an orgy, which Nurse Joyce and the doctor also partake.

Nurse Joyce, front and center, getting pleasured by Susan.

Angela on the left, Joyce in the middle,... well you get the picture.  The orgy continues until the film ends.



As you can tell, there's not much going on here - just a bunch of sex scenes joined together by a flimsy "plot".  Still, audiences seeing this at the midnight drive-in or adult theater in 1970, would have gotten what they paid for.
