Moderated by Kerry Pataki. The panel discusses the various forms of X-rated films, including "stag films", "adult" films, and "skin flicks", which are rated X by the MPAA. The Immoral Mr. Teas (1959) was the first skin-flick in the American repertoire. The discussion attempts to describe the function of these films, their purpose, and the dangers they might present to American society. Speakers believe that these films tend to lack good filmmaking. These experiences matter especially to young adults, whose profound curiosity for the naked body renders the films irresistible. However, the speakers all agree that the X-rated film will eventually self-destruct because after viewing it, two human beings still have to communicate with each other, with or without sex.
