In 1986, Candida Royale retired from performing in hard core films, and decided to make some of her own, but with a huge difference from the norm. She wanted to create hard core films that portrayed healthy consensual sex in a way that would serve as a positive role model, and appeal to women. In researching for the screenplay, she read a lot of women's erotica, and noticed that a frequent theme was the perfect first time, so that became the basis for her script. Three Daughters (1986) is a coming of age story, and a tool used by many sex therapists as an example of normal, healthy sexuality. It is also a serious attempt to incorporate hard core sex footage into a mainstream Hollywood style film and reach a larger audience. Does it work? You be the judge.
