The third film in this notorious series is most interesting for what it doesn't say, as opposed to what it does. In many ways, it actively contradicts what has gone before, and there's a disturbing subtext. (And given the subject of its maintext, that's saying something.) To begin with, we have Kay Parker and Honey Wilder returning to the roles they played in the first two films. However, while Parker's character mentioned that her son (who was also her lover) had gone off to live with his father in Taboo II, in this one he seems to have been living with her for a while ... only to suddenly abandon her, leaving her with her other son (played by Jerry Butler.) Meanwhile, Wilder's marriage has disintegrated and she's now shacked up with *her* other son (not the son she was schtupping in Taboo II.)
I don't think anyone needs a guide to what's going to happen here. Parker and Wilder end up knocking boots with each other's sons, as well as their own, and said sons have lots of other sexual encounters. But it's with this film that the series begins to show a problem of sustainability. Put bluntly, adult films can't realistically argue for monogamy, or even on-going relationships, so while the previous film ended with Wilder's marriage weirdly rejuvenated by the various incestuous couplings going on, it's described as over here. The film ends with Parker breathily announcing that she feels beautiful, but in subsequent films her character becomes more and more stressed as a result of the taboo that she's violating. So even as the films seem to be showing incest as "fun for everyone", they also portray it as damaging. Realistic, yes, but not really the sort of thing that audiences enjoy ...
