First Time Ever I Saw Deep Throat

I became aware of  Deep Throat the first time in Canada, in Toronto, where sex was still rather a taboo subject, at least in films.  There was a private showing of Deep Throat on a double bill with Boys in the Sand.  I went with two heterosexual boys, and we forgot Boys in the Sand was totally homosexual. You got into the theater for free if you would get undressed.  Of course, we all got undressed; otherwise, if you stayed dressed and were kind of prudish, you would have to pay the $15 entrance fee.  So, I said, Okay, boys, let's all go naked.  And before I knew what happened, there was like group sex happening left, right, and center.

You have to ask?

Well, I don't really remember the specific screening. But I remember the time frame and I do remember that we ran it in the living room for a select number of friends.  It's a comedy; one could suggest that it's a romantic comedy, a sexual comedy and it has a plot. I think one of the things that is unique about Deep Throat is that it broke that barrier. Porn films had existed in one form or another before, but Deep Throat was the one that really established a kind of porn chic and made it acceptable for men and women.
