(Hopper)
Deep Throat's defense
produced expert witnesses

:36:10
to argue that the film was
more enlightening
than merely obscene,

:36:16
[witness speaking]
:36:26
(Hopper)
But the prosecution countered

:36:29
that this sexual satisfaction
was dangerous to women

:36:32
because Deep Throat emphasized
the wrong kind of orgasm,:

:36:36
the clitoral orgasm,
:36:39
(William Purcell)
I remember that the judge
hadn't heard the term,

:36:42
And, uh,
so he expressed surprise

:36:44
and asked the question,
''what's that?''

:36:49
(doctor)
Here, just outside and above
the vaginal opening

:36:54
[echoing]
is the clitoris,

:36:56
[prosecution speaking]
:37:12
[doctor's voice echoing]
The clitoris,

:37:14
He should have been
sitting in my classes

:37:17
because he would have
heard me say loud and clear

:37:20
that let's get away
from that idea,

:37:23
which still
some people have,

:37:25
that, uh,
a vaginal orgasm

:37:28
is, um, more satisfying
for a woman

:37:31
than a clitoral orgasm.
No such thing.

:37:34
(Helen Brown)
At that time, a real orgasm
could only happen

:37:37
if you were with a man
:37:39
and his penis
was inside of you

:37:41
and that was total,
utter nonsense, of course.

:37:47
Sex is not only for penises.
:37:50
Uh, sex is something
for women.

:37:53
[doctor's voice echoing]
The clitoris,

:37:55
(doctor)
This tiny organ,

:37:57
about the size and shape
of a garden pea,
