[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,

:38:00
is the seat
of sexuality in women,

:38:04
l think the judge
learned a lot during the trial

:38:07
as l... Look,
l--l certainly did myself.

:38:13
(Hopper)
As the judge retired
to consider his verdict,

:38:15
ticket sales almost doubled,
:38:17
prompting a young reporter
from the New York Times
to write an article

:38:21
that would give the film
mainstream legitimacy,

:38:25
(Ralph Blumenthal)
I remember
writing the article,

:38:27
Uh, the--the headline
was ''Porno chic, ''

:38:29
[chuckling]
l wrote it on a typewriter.

:38:33
People look
at the Times as a validator,

:38:35
And they see,
if--if the Times can
write about Deep Throat,

:38:38
well, then it must be safe
in some way.

:38:43
(Hopper)
The week the article
hit the stands,

:38:45
the film's box office soared
:38:47
as people rushed
to see the film
in record numbers,

:38:53
(male reporter)
Approximately how many people
have seen Deep Throat?

:38:56
Approximately
1,700 people a day
have been in to see the film.
