In contrast to porn loops, Deep Throat was a ‘sort-of’ full-length movie at 62 minutes.
The young man turns over and Holmes tops him. While his drug and alcohol use affected Holmes’ ability to maintain an erection in later years, in this loop, he quickly recovers. Although the young man worked creditably on Holmes’ world-famous weapon, it became obvious his skills did not include deep throat. It never mattered that Holmes was no looker himself. In another, a good-looking young man blew the most famous male porn star of all time, John Holmes. One famous gay loop featured Warhol star Joe Dallesandro and another man orally pleasuring each other before a flip flop f_ck. Loops generally consisted of a single sexual episode involving oral and penetrative sex.
People could only view porn in those days on projectors at home or in coin-operated booths in adult shops. Before the Golden Age of Porn, ‘loops’ dominated the market for filmed porn.
