The story itself, such as it is, follows Ben Brookfield (Randy West), a famous poet and author. At a book signing, he is swarmed by adoring fans. The film then shifts into an extended flashback to a stay at the Whitestone Institute six years prior.
The Taboo series has been a staple of erotic cinema for decades, pushing the boundaries of what is considered acceptable on screen. The seventh installment, Taboo VII: The Wild and the Innocent, released in 1989, is no exception. This film, like its predecessors, explores themes of desire, relationships, and the human condition, all while maintaining a strong focus on eroticism and sensuality.

is a distinct entry in the historic Taboo adult film franchise. Directed by series originator Kirdy Stevens alongside Peter Perry Jr. , the film deviates heavily from the psychological incest narratives that defined the early entries in the franchise. Instead, it functions as a standalone, romance-driven drama framed around artistic and literary exploration.
Many fans were disappointed by the absence of the incest taboo. One IMDb user review states, "its problem is that it strayed from the Prime Directive: it's not about incest... this is TABOO VII in name only". Another critic lamented that "the fans wanted more incest under the TABOO rubric". The pacing was also criticized; a review noted that while there are many sex scenes "every five to ten minutes... most of it is pretty softcore" and the "dialogue scenes are WAY too long". One user on Letterboxd summed up the experience succinctly: "It's so bizarre and unsexy".
The original Taboo movies, starting with the groundbreaking 1980 film, were known for their heavy, taboo-breaking themes about family secrets. However, Taboo VII: The Wild and the Innocent completely throws out that old formula. There is no incest in this movie. Instead, it plays out like a sensual, high-class melodrama.
