anonymous  asked:
I did a search and didn't find any. But do you have any images of Sharon Thorpe? I loved her in Sex World.

It’s very hard to find any pictorials with Sharon Thorpe. In fact we don’t know of any at all. Someone please correct us if we’re wrong! But here are some stills from her orgasmic scene in Sex World (1978).

“I grew up in a few different small towns in the Midwest, where people were very repressive about their sex…very secretive, very ashamed of it. When I was 12, my parents began collecting a wonderful library—every time a sex book was written by a scientist, sociologist, psychiatrist… every one of them indicated, one way or another, that sex was good. It’s very healthy and a way that people can put an end to divisiveness. I felt that this was the way to live. However, the sexually repressive community in which I lived didn’t feel this way.

On the one hand, women try to look and act as sexy if possible, without ever indicating that they actually engage in sex and without indicating that they actually have genitals. In this kind of environment, I felt very outside in terms of my thinking that I couldn’t act according to my feelings because I didn’t want to be an outcast and I had no sexual attraction to people who I felt would brutalize me psychologically for having sex. The minute I got out of that town, I went to New York to be a student at 17. I felt that in such a large city I could be so anonymous that no matter what anyone thought, I could engage in sex secretly now I’m alone. I could find out all about it.”

—Sharon Thorpe from ‘A Film About Sharon’ (1975)
