# Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah ##

(Damiano)

I enjoyed being a hairdresser

because I always

could relate to women.

After you got to know

the woman,

especially when you

worked on them weekly,

you start to get into history

about "we went to the movies"

and "he did this and I did..."

And realize that most--

most of the women

were very unhappy

in their relationship

with the person that

they were married to

and supposedly

in love with.

After 40 years of marriage,

you know, you can get

tired of the good old

in and out.

You--you got to be intimate.

It was almost like a priest.

I mean, l--I don't wanna say

I was a priest,

but it was almost like--

it was almost like

a confessor.

(Hopper)

The confessions Damiano heard

in his salon,

made him realize he

was on the frontlines

of a sexual revolution.

(Hefner)

We grew up in a time

in which sex itself

was largely taboo.

When I was a kid,

young people didn't even know

where babies came from.

(Cavett)

I'd love to know.

If I watch

the rest of this program,

will I know the answer?

Gore Vidal would be very good

on the subject.

You must take into account

how ignorant people are.

Particularly our countrymen,

who have never taken

a course in biology,

never read a book.

Do you know anything

about the facts of life?

Not very much,

I'm afraid.

(Hopper)

The facts of life

and sexual morality in general

were forbidden topics.

But as all that changed,

issues about sexuality

began to divide society.

(old man)

Artificial contraception

is wrong.

Evil.

(Norman Mailer)

People were experimenting.

They were looking

for new kinds of lives.

They were looking to break out

of all the old molds.

(Al Goldstein)

And we knew

the American public were tired

of words like "coitus. "

They wanted words,

like "f***,"

and "suck," and "eat my c*nt."

I think the more that

filth is thrown at Americans

the less favored it becomes.

They're depicting sex

in a very filthy way.

(John Waters)

Jackie Kennedy

went to see that.

The next week,

the gross doubled.

I--I don't mind

seeing sex in a-- in a movie

just for its own sake

because I think that's one

of the, you know,

more interesting

human emotions.

(Erica Jong)

Sex was in movies.

Sex was on TV.

Sex came out of the closet.

(Damiano)

You had to be there.

You had to be there.

I'm thrilled

that I was there.

And thank God

I had a camera with me.

(Hopper)

As the sexual revolution

swept through society,

people took sides

in a culture war

that was gathering steam.

Gerry Damiano

joined the fray by swapping

his blow dryer

for a movie camera.

(Damiano)

I loved film.

I--I always did.
