Growing Up with Deep Throat: Gerard Damiano Jr.

Imagine being raised by a father who was nicknamed the “king of porn.” Now imagine that it's the 1970s, and your dad attracts attention from the FBI because of his renowned and very spicy filmmaking. 

Perhaps too much for many of us to imagine… But for Gerard Damiano Jr., it’s a walk down memory lane.

Gerard Damiano Sr’s film, Deep Throat, is the most famous adult film of all time – one known for bringing triple-X films into the mainstream and gleaning a ton of controversy. And this year marks the film’s 50th anniversary.

During the filming, abuse played out in the personal life of the film’s star, Linda Lovelace, so you’ll hear about that in this episode, too.

You’ll also hear:

Gerard’s take on the film as far as female sexuality and sex-positivity

Why Gerard and his sister remain proactivity sensitive about Lovelace’s experiences

Why the clitoris and female orgasm focus in Deep Throat were especially revolutionary
