Valley of the Dolls was considered obscene in its day...
The corrupt told the lie that people were puritanical odd, repressed, close-minded, etc. And now we are reaping the corrosiveness of those movies and more. Homosexuality, cross dressing, sexual assaults, pedophilia, etc. are rampant now in our society. We were sold a lie that pornography will make us free and wiser. How many lives have been obliterated because they have followed their uncontrolled, unbridled sexual lusts to its ruinous conclusion?
Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D.H. Lawrence is a much better read... and it was censored in its day...
