With the loosening of censorship in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the adult movie industry mushroomed: blue movies rapidly evolved from something glimpsed by men in smokers at workmen's clubs on stag night to couples patronizing 'Deep Throat' (1972), which racked up tens of millions of B.O. He took a gander at Marc Stevens' crown jewel, non-chalantly muttered 'Ya'll better take care of that thang,' zipped up and departed, leaving the shocked and disappointed Stevens with his future still in his hand. Stevens, who was unabashedly bi-sexual, says that he stared at Presley's penis for an inordinately long time as he was shocked that the King wasn't endowed like, well - a King! Elvis, on his part, was used to being stared at, even at urinals.
It was his ticket to the big time.Īccording to his memoir, Stevens joined the Army circa 1960, and it was during the time he was stationed in Germany, while using a urinal, he came face to face with one of his idols: Elvis Presley. Marc Stevens (born Mark Kuttner on September 2, 1943), the adult film star, memoirist, and erotic dance performer, was one of the pioneers of the adult film industry in the 1970s, the so-called 'Golden Age of Porn.' His 1975 biography, which some claim was ghost-written by his mother, was called '10 1/2' in an homage not only to Federico Fellini but to his male member.
