Deep Throat Dead. No News on Watergate.

Okay, not that Deep Throat.

From today's Washington Post...

Linda Lovelace, the porn star has died.

Sad.

I have strage memories of watching "Deep Throat" and "Behind the Green Door" the summer I was 16. At summer camp...sneaking off with my girlfriend (first ever) to the video studio to watch the movies, late at night. I'm not sure which was more thrilling-the thrill of sneaking out, which was always fun at camp, or the thrill of watching porn for the first time. I just remember how it felt, how electric her touch was, her hand on my knee. I remember holding her hand, and talking about how weird stuff was after. I remember who was there, that there were counselors there who knew we weren't supposed be there, and could have gotten into a great deal of trouble for letting us in, and inviting us. I remember that she was 14...two years younger than I am, and in retrospect, I wonder what they were thinking. But even so, my introduction to the Wide World of Porn (tm) was at least classic and memorable. Summer, sweat, mosquito bites, her bandanas holding her hair back, the way she wore her shorts hanging down, and tie dye and all that.

Wow. It's nearly eleven years since all of that-I hadn't realized that. I wonder sort of, where she is now.

I feel somewhat left out

a very cool reminiscence. *smile* i remember my first look at pornish stuff--looking at a playboy that had a pictoral from Plato's Retreat (a sex club from the 1970's) and being amazed that it was so explicit. they were actually showing pictures of people having sex! And even a picture of 2 guys having sex. stuff playboy would never show now, i suspect. *sigh* Funny--I looked up my high school crush from that era on the web and found a picture of her...and that she's currently a devout christian selling christian computers (well, computers with christian-safe software and net access anyhow) -- very different from the entrancing girl who read catullus to our AP english class..

I can't stop thinking of her today...now that I remembered her. Strawberrys...she smelled like strawberries. I forgot that part.

How cool that once upon a time Playboy showed men getting it on. That's got to be one of the hottest things out there.
