"Winter Swimsuit"

A couple has sex in a public bath house in the middle of winter. A reluctant girl is fondled, has her bathing suit cut off to expose her erogenous zones, and is coerced into performing various sex acts. 

"Enema"

A girl is coaxed into having sex in a bathroom. The ensuing sex acts culminate in anal sex which cures her constipation. 

"Kirei"

On a tropical island, two girls called Rui and Kirei are on vacation. As time progresses, they notice that there is something unusual with the natives and the beautiful butterflies that inhabit the island. As they begin to notice these oddities, they begin to have sex with each other and the natives.

"Slave Girl Marino"

Marino, a virgin, is captured by the dominatrix Saki and her master, who spend the episode training Marino to be their sex slave, a process which involves Marino being forced to perform various sex acts and submit to the demands of her masters. 

"S+M Queen Saki"

This episode is a continuation of "Slave Girl Marino", with the same characters. It takes place during a sex party. 

"Yellow Star"

Ayana's mother remarries a famous detective, who had been investigating the distribution of an illegal drug, called "yellow star", which is a mild hallucinogen, paralyzing agent, and aphrodisiac. The detective is buying a steady supply of the illegal drug so he can sexually abuse his stepdaughter. Ayana kills her stepfather and returns to a normal life with her boyfriend, Kohei. In the final scene, Ayana waits in a park for her boyfriend, but is abducted by the distributors of "yellow star" who force her into another round of sex with them. The character designer for this episode was Yasuomi Umetsu. It can be seen as a precursor to "Kite".  

"Slave Warrior Maya"

A story of Maya Misutani, an average Japanese teenager who is transported to another world, where she meets two lizard-like creatures who convince her to take all of her clothes off. She is then sold into slavery to Lord Estilgar, and used in experiments to turn her into a sex slave. She escapes and evades recapture by using a hidden power within herself to slaughter her opponents. This display of power gets the attention of two warring human and alien factions. Maya is recaptured, subjected to more sexual experiments, and is transformed into a hermaphrodite. Maya is then transferred to a dominatrix who is given instructions to break her will and turn her into a sex slave. In captivity, Maya meets another slave, Leyna, who is not used for sex. They escape, but are quickly caught. 

"Binding"

Masaki is on a train, dreaming about a woman he has never met. When he wakes up, he finds that his belongings have been stolen and that he is stranded. Masaki follows the woman who stole his things, which leads him to her mansion, where she lives with a group of other women. Masaki stays the night and soon realizes that the oldest woman is the mistress of the house and the younger women are her slaves. This leads to his voyeuristic observation of various sexual acts, before actually engaging in sex with several of the residents. Eventually there's an earthquake which destroys the house, though Masaki and one of the girls manage to escape. 

"Fallen Angel Rina"

Pop idol Rina is renowned for her amazing stage shows and musical talent, which gets her noticed by a new production company, Angel Productions. At one of her concerts, she learns that her father has suffered a medical emergency, and has been hospitalized. The manager of Angel Productions approaches her about switching to their company, and after learning her father owes the company a substantial amount of money, she agrees to sign on with them. It turns out that AngelPro also works in the flesh peddling business, and under the guise of giving her a "new image", her new managers subject Rina to public humiliations. She is taken to a sex shop pretending to be a porn actress and masturbates in a porn cinema. Later, she's auctioned off at a BDSM auction as a sex slave for 580 million yen. Six months later she returns to her career as a singer. During her performance, Rina strips naked and begins masturbating with her microphone. The final shot shows the all male audience rushing the stage and crowding around her as she smiles vacantly, with a tear streaming down her cheek.
