Orgasm Inc. Page #2

Synopsis: Filmmaker Liz Canner takes a job editing erotic videos for a drug trial for a pharmaceutical company. Her employer is developing what they hope will be the first Viagra drug for women that wins FDA approval to treat a new disease: Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). Liz gains permission to film the company for her own documentary. Initially, she plans to create a movie about science and pleasure but she soon begins to suspect that her employer, along with a cadre of other medical companies, might be trying to take advantage of women (and potentially endanger their health) in pursuit of billion dollar profits. ORGASM INC. is a powerful look inside the medical industry and the marketing campaigns that are literally and figuratively reshaping our everyday lives around health, illness, desire -- and that ultimate moment: orgasm.

with a meeting with Kim Airs.

Vivus hired her to curate the erotic

footage for the clinical trial videos.

Oh, hi Liz.

How are you?

She was a nationally

recognized expert

on women's taste

in pornography.

Well, I think when we're

going to select videos

that I'm assuming that woman

are going to enjoy watching,

I've really found that

women do go for plot.

They do go for videos

that are well-shot.

People go "porno, plot?"

It's really kind of funny.

Porno is so subiective.

It's like, what gets me off

might not get you off.

Now, I'm a little

worried about

if it's not the right porn

for the majority of women

then this will have an

effect on their result.

The only thing we

can do is guess

because that's the whole

tough thing about it.

If you're making something as

standardized as a testing protocol

you have to assume

that most women

are going to like

what you give them.

That's why I don't want to

have "Babes Ballin' Boys"

or "Butt Man's

European Vacation. "

Oh look they're

wearing condoms.

That's good.

So this, I mean this is

definitely, this could...

Ohhh!

That's... I know.

See, she's got a little

birthmark there.

I can make

the sound effect.

So, I don't know which ones

were tape 1 and tape 2.

Isn't it strange the way

Female Sexual Dysfunction

was only recently

discovered?

Right, to medicalize stuff

that's been around since histoy.

You know, what is

Female Sexual Dysfunction?

Is it you're

withholding sex

because you know

your husband's cheating on ya?

Is it wants and desires

that are unfulfilled?

I mean, it's so complex.

The erotic videos would

soon be screening

in exam rooms

across America.

It was time to visit my doctor,

Susan Bennett.

She teaches a class on human

sexuality at Harvard Medical School.

I usually visit her

when I need a checkup.

Is eveything

okay with sex?

It's okay.

Today, I was checking up

on Female Sexual Dysfunction.

Were there any new

medical discoveries

that could have prompted

this newly named disorder,

Female Sexual Dysfunction?

No new medical discoveries

regarding women's sexual problems

that I know have been

reported in literature.

We as a society think

that we should be able

to fix eveything

by just taking a pill.

If women think that they

should be having an orgasm

evey time they

have intercourse,

a lot of women

are going to think

there's something

wrong with them.

If women think that

they should be

as libidinous at 60

as they were at 25

a lot of women

are going to think

that they need medication

to feel better.

But if in fact we say,

"This is normal.

This is a normal

part of aging.

You can still enioy sex. "

It's not a disease.
