The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann is a 1974 American hardcore adult film starring Barbara Bourbon and directed by Radley Metzger[1][2] (as "Henry Paris") that is considered one of the classics of the Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984).

Porn film star Bill Margold, who went on to be the director of the Free Speech Coalition, has written that "The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann signals an end to the all-balling, no purpose, disposable mastur-movies that go into one orifice and out another.”[5] Filmed in Manhattan, the movie was released in New York City on December 26, 1974, and was nationally distributed in 1975.

[7] Bourbon plays Pamela Mann, a married psychotherapist living and working in Manhattan who has several sexual encounters that are filmed by a private detective hired by her husband.

[17] Film and audio works by Metzger have been added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.

[22] The result had a limited exhibition in theaters, but the main outcome of the project was the first-ever official remastered DVD version.
