Deep Throat

The first time I saw Deep Throat, was sometime in the 80's. A group of us got together and we all took dates. I remembered the security guard saying, "You guys are bringing girls to this film?" We grinned and laughed. It must have been a dozen guys and we each had a date. We joked about it, because it was a porn film. How many people actually go to a porn film with a girl? So McAllister auditorium was the locale for this big event. When we arrived, the theater was packed. We weren't the only ones with dates, and so it would be one hell of a night. Frat brothers in togas, condoms being blown up and floating in the air across the crowd and landing in someones hands or lap. Jokes about sex and penis'. Keeping the giant condom in the air was the goal. Lots of fun until the film began. It was sort of like being at the Rocky Horror Picture show, but the focus was on sex. Of course I had no idea this night would become scripted. After the first 15 minutes of the film girls began to walk out. 30 minutes later there were couples leaving. Some of the scenes appeared to be just a bit much for some of those who either hadn't experienced sex at all or just weren't familiar with felatio. In the scene with the coke, the line was, "things go better with coke." for the climatic scenes it was, "Taste great, less filling" and the chant would begin through out the theater. It was quite an experience and a night I don't think I'll ever forget. Of course I vaguely remember the girl I took with me. I was amongst friends so it really didn't matter. We were all just out for a good time. LOL. Those were the days.
