(Camille Paglia)
Deep Throat was
an epochal moment
:03:04
in the history
of modern sexuality.
:03:06
lt is the first time
that respectable
middle-class women
:03:09
went to porn theaters,
:03:13
It really broke down,
:03:15
uh, traditional codes
of--of decorum,
:03:20
(Hugh Hefner)
Linda Lovelace,
:03:22
and conversations,
and jokes about Deep Throat,
:03:25
appeared
on network television,
:03:26
lf the film
became mainstream,
:03:29
conversation about it
became truly mainstream.
:03:31
lt's kind of
a strange country, isn't it?
:03:33
Judges can see Deep Throat,
but they can't listen
to those tapes.
:03:36
[audience laughing]
:03:38
(Hefner)
I think the major thing
that set, uh,
:03:40
Deep Throat apart was,
:03:42
it had a gimmick.
:03:43
Ah! Ah--ah!
:03:45
well, there it is,
you little bugger,
there it is.
:03:48
what?
:03:50
Your clitoris, it's deep down
in the bottom of your throat.
:03:53
[crying]
:03:54
The clitoris
hidden in the throat
:03:56
was something
you could talk about
and laugh about.
:03:59
lt's better than having
no clitoris at all.
:04:01
[sobbing]
:04:02
That's easy
for you to say.
:04:05
Suppose your balls
were in your ear.
:04:09
(Bill Maher)
I was 19 when I saw it,
:04:12
I don't think I had found
where the clitoris really was,
:04:14
So l think the idea
:04:16
that it was misplaced
:04:18
on the human body
was lost on me.
:04:20
l--l was looking for
the original site.
:04:23
lt was a giggle.
:04:25
And the worst thing
to be said about us,
as Americans,
:04:27
is that we'll sell
our souls for a giggle.
:04:29
Listen, uh, we have
the problem solved.
:04:31
All we have to do now
is find the solution.
:04:34
[sobbing]
Like what?
:04:35
Like deep throat.
:04:39
Deep what?
:04:40
Throat.
:04:41
Have you ever taken
a penis all the way down
:04:43
to the bottom
of your throat?
:04:54
lt was a badge of
the new freedom.
:04:57
[projector whirring]
:04:58
Have you been
to the experience
:04:59
of paying to go
in a porno theater
