Autorenporträt
In the 40's I was taught in Sunday school that our naked bodies were shameful. This was truth accepted without challenge among men and women. It said so in the Bible. You might think, TAKE YOUR SHAME AND SHOVE IT, is all about sex but might be surprised to learn that it is actually about erasing the debilitating fear of sex that was hard wired into my brain. It has been called "a fascinating portrait of an era that brought about immense moral and social change." By the time I was three, I was rebelling and by high school made a silent vow that I would free myself from the debilitating teachings that had left me naïve, neurotic and insecure. My quest to free myself from the albatross that hung around my neck passed through MIT, free love Berkeley and the marijuana fields of Mexico and eventually wound up in the illicit world of pornography. It included making the internationally acclaimed science fantasy film, 'Flesh Gordon' which is said to have been the inspiration for 'Star Wars.' My open marriage of 48 years includes a ten-year battle to help my wife escape her addiction to cocaine. This ribald story is told with no holds barred.
