Today Darren Hunter sat down for an interview from Exile with the man described as the "Original Man In the Trench Coat at the Porno Theater"!
Frank House was recently celebrated with an award at the elite Golden Global Shower Awards. where he was hailed for pioneering mainstream porn acceptance.
Back in 1971, Frank House would have to duck into an adult movie theater while wearing a trench coat with his brim pulled down low. Today we take the universal availability of porn for granted as nowadays it’s not only mainstream but also quite fashionable, particularly among the cultural elites not to mention MTV. But long before Vivid Entertainment Group became synonymous with quality time, there was the stag reeling man with the hat quite literally down in the trenches.
Darren: Well, welcome, Mr. House. Congratulations and thank you so much
for being here today. It wasn’t always this glamorous for you was it?
Frank: Well, no I have to say, Darren, it really wasn’t. I can remember coming out of the old Art Holiday Theater after watching some real smokers. I had my trench coat on and hat down as I high-tailed it the heck out of there and home to the wife. In those days, we were considered like freaks or perverts if you can believe that.
Darren: I wouldn’t have guessed that, no. So, Frank, would you say that continually
watching porn has helped keep the spice in your marriage and increase intimacy?
Frank: Well, she of course left me by 1977, but it means so much to me to see all of these fancy businessmen appreciating us pioneers.
Darren: Well, when would you say the turn around for porn acceptance occurred?
Frank: Well, I would say when that guy, what’s his name . . . Jimmy
Swaggerts . . . yeah, when he popped up with some girls and
magazines. I wonder what he’s been up to these days? He must be in
his glory with all they got out now . . .
Darren: Actually, Frank, he’s now a Falan Gong activist in Tiananmen
Square, China.
Frank: Oh, alright, he’s into the Asian stuff. They got all kinds of stuff now for us. Anytime we want it.
Darren: Are you surprised that more than half of the consumers in the billion dollar porn industry are women?
Frank: No, not at all, Darren. I can remember back in the 70s with the first VCRs. I seen Larry the mailman on my street pop in to a lot of your housewives when no one was lookin’ and they’d trade stag reels. It was real nice.
Darren: Do you think it's interesting that the government is limiting free speech by opponents of progressivism, yet allows young people to become oversexualized by a complicit Media ? In other words is real art getting eclipsed in our walk down the fog road to hell since porn is now parading as art?
Frank: Umm, come to think of it they did have a little parade during the adult trade show I was at in Vegas.
Darren: Well Frank, congratulations again on your award. What would you say has been the most rewarding thing about this for you?
Frank: Well, what I see on MTV these days has so much nudie that I think its more than we got to see at the peep house thirty years ago! Last night all the young ladies were lining up to get a chance to audition to be in the new smokers. It kind of brings a tear to my eye.
Darren: Mine too, Frank. Mine, too.
