:13:00
well, one of
Gerry's motivations

:13:03
was to get laid.
:13:07
Really. And he did.
:13:09

:13:11
(Andrea True)
You could make a living

:13:13
if you were a filmmaker,
making these films,

:13:16
Quite a number of people
became legitimate
Hollywood directors

:13:19
out of the porn industry.
:13:20
l mean, for a while there,
it was kinda like
the entry level job

:13:23
that you would do.
:13:24
Uh, you would
work on-- on porn,

:13:29
l'm... l--l certainly
worked on them.

:13:30
l'm not gonna say
which ones,
but l--l was around it.

:13:33
(Damiano)
All of sudden, there was
a new word,

:13:35
It was called ''filmmaker, ''
:13:37
You became
an independent filmmaker,

:13:41
we were actually doing it
:13:44
[chuckling]
and we couldn't believe it.

:13:45
we couldn't believe it,
and thank God there was,

:13:48
there was such
a thing as sex.

:13:51
(Hopper)
There was sex,
but at the time,

:13:53
the only way to put
hardcore sex
on the screen legally,

:13:56
was in sex education films,
:14:01
My name is
Dr. Morris Rosengarden.

:14:04
(Wes Craven)
They would show sexual scenes,

:14:06
but they couldn't be accused
of pornography

:14:08
because it had
an educational value.

:14:18
(doctor)
Some men
find their wives' buttocks

:14:20
very stimulating visually,
:14:23
we needed a father figure
for almost everything.

:14:28
(doctor)
This may be uncomfortable

:14:29
for the obese
or older couples,

:14:35
(Damiano)
Why did you need a doctor
to tell you it was okay?

:14:38
And I said,
:14:40
''Hey, instead of
discussing not doing it,

:14:43
let's do it
and don't even discuss it.''

:14:45
There's nothing
to be ashamed of,

:14:48
[siren blaring]
:14:50
(Hopper)
But there was plenty
to be afraid of,

:14:52
In addition to
running the risk of arrest
and incarceration,

:14:55
the criminal underworld
virtually controlled

:14:57
the production of pornography,
