But when his grandfather dies and the source of money runs dry, Antoine is forced to change his lifestyle and earn money. His laziness stands in the way of this project, which is why he prefers to rely on his enormous charm, which he knows how to use to his advantage.

But when the two have had enough of his laziness and push him to work, Antoine goes on his way again. He meets a prince and numerous other people, at whose expense he lives for a while.

Reviews
According to the lexicon of international films , director de Broca has "[the] dream of a lazy man, that he could easily get through life with his irresistible charm, [...] in his own comedy tone". "His sympathy" lies entirely with "his work-shy hero". The Protestant film observer described I was a male sex bomb as a “comedy film about a lounger with an abundance of charming, if somewhat randomly strung together scenes”. The end is unsatisfactory and the film is only suitable for an "adult audience".
German version
The German dubbed version was created for the first German release in the cinema (December 25, 1964).
