The movie begins with a young woman named Monika (Hanna Schygulla) arriving at the brothel. She is immediately welcomed by the other women, who are all in various stages of undress. Monika is quickly initiated into the world of prostitution and begins to explore her own sexuality.
The movie contains several explicit sexual scenes, including a scene in which Monika is forced to perform oral sex on a client. This scene is particularly powerful as it shows the power dynamics between the women and their clients, and the vulnerability of the women in this situation.

The movie also features a scene in which Monika and Lotte are seen having sex with a client. This scene is particularly powerful as it shows the women taking control of their own sexuality and using it to their advantage.

There are several sex scenes in the movie, but none depict explicit intercourse. This is a softcore pornographic film.
The movie shows fully nude men and women in several scenes. Being made in the mid-1970s, full but trimmed bushes of pubic hair conceal female genitals in many full-frontal nude scenes, but there are spread-leg scenes where labia are visible. Male genitals are visible about as often, always flaccid and usually only briefly.
The opening scene of the movie is in a strip club. A woman is pole dancing fully nude, shown full frontal, only her pubic hair concealing her genitals. Other dancers are working topless. Further nude performances occur in the club throughout the movie, only about half of them pole dancing, the others being more exotic performances.
