During the exam the therapist discovers that Linda’s clitoris is located in her throat and recommends deep throating as a treatment to her ailment.

"No wonder you hear no bells, you have no tinkler." Here we are, after not only a month of famous erotic films but several years of reviewing and over a hundred posts. We’ve reached the one.

Title: Behind the Green Door Year:  1972 Starring: Marilyn Chambers, Johnnie Keyes Director:  Artie Mitchell, Jim Mitchell Synopsis: Gloria is kidnapped and taken to a theater where she is told that she will have “the most exquisite moment of her life.” She shares many sexual and intimate experiences on a stage in front of a small masked audience that grows increasingly aroused as the performance progresses. - Via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: So we meet again, nemesis of mine.   "Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to witness the ravishment of a woman who has been abducted."

Feeling vulnerable, she turns to her friend Gina who opens Barbara’s eyes to the secret world of suburban swingers. But as erotic tension grows, Barbara begins to fantasize about her handsome son… - Via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: The prototypical porn that keeps it in the family. "Dear Paul, we lost our heads last night..." As Famous February rolls on, I foresee a thesis emerging: can one truly place themselves in a time they were not present for? Can we see the notoriety these films earned without having been caught up in the mania? I think with these four reviews, different films will have different answers. But it's very easy to understand the reasons Taboo  was so success
