Sex Colonial Mentality
posted by August 7 at 12:44 PM
onWhere we, colonial subjects, learned about sex? The Emmanuelle series:
From Carry On Emmanuelle:
Says Kenneth, “Why me? You can have any Tom, Dick or Harry!”
Says Emmanuelle, “But I don’t want Tom or Harry!”
Say the boys in Rainbow Cinema in downtown Harare in 1984: “Hah, this woman means business.”
The most popular Emmanuelle with African colonial subjects? The rip-off Black Emmanuelle!

that was a good film. BE, that is, better than the others which were just bizarre.
I think these were some of my first sorta pr0n, too. Yay for satellite TV!
Ah yes, Cinemax after dark.
You learned about sex via the Emmanuelle series? So....you can smoke a cigarette with your pussy?
The Telegraph interview/book review is worth a quick read. The original Emmanuelle star is quite a tragic character, well into decline. Similar to the sad tale of the late Linda Lovelace.
I used to scour the TV Guide movie listings for "nudity, strong sexual content" and that's pretty much how I picked what movie I was going to watch at 11:00pm.
