Spaced Out (also known as Outer Touch and Outer Spaced) is a 1979 British science fiction sex comedy film starring Glory Annen, Barry Stokes and Ava Cadell and directed by Norman J. Warren.
The crew of a malfunctioning alien cargo ship make an emergency landing on Earth. The light and noise attract the attention of four sexually-frustrated humans in a nearby park: Oliver and Prudence (a mild-mannered professional and his highly-strung fiancée, who is completely unreceptive to his advances), Willy (a gawky supermarket assistant) and Cliff (a middle-aged man).
Oliver, Prudence, Willy and Cliff wander into the ship and encounter three aliens resembling human women: engineer Partha, nurse Cosia and the captain, known only as Skipper. Willy drops some hardcore pornographic magazines that he has just bought. The aliens mistake some approaching cows for a hostile force and hurriedly take off, despite warnings from the long-suffering computer about the precarious state of the ship's systems. Resuming their original course, they study their guests in detail. Fascinated by the anatomy of the males, they decide to sell the "flat-chested specimens" to a zoo for exotic lifeforms on a distant planet. They also debate the significance of the acts depicted in Willy's magazines. Partha is particularly keen to emulate them and enthusiastically has sex with Cliff, who is left physically worn out by the experience.
Skipper, Cosia and Partha subject the males to a series of tests to learn more about their abilities. Oliver and Cliff fail miserably. However, Willy, looking for his magazines, beats Skipper's combat simulation by repeatedly bending down and unknowingly evading her attacks, causing her to collapse with exhaustion and theorise that he is a stronger being. While running a "bio-scan" on Willy, Cosia discovers that his physiology is more advanced than anything on record; encouraging Cosia with exaggerated claims about his sexual prowess, Willy loses his virginity to her. Later, he passes an intelligence test by a fluke and has sex with Partha.
In the ship's recreation area, Oliver seeks relationship advice from an artificial intelligence residing in an object resembling a Wurlitzer jukebox. At the Wurlitzer's suggestion, he adopts a "caveman" approach to seducing Prudence. Appalled by her fiancé's behaviour, Prudence runs into a luxurious bedroom, where she instantly relaxes and willingly has sex with him.
