Porn Valley- Did you bother to renew your membership in the Harry Reems Athletic Club?, www.hraclub.com. Apparently one exists. It’s run by a guy named Joe. Beyond that, and the fact that athletic in this sense means bench pressing a beer can, scant details are offered in the documentary Inside Deep Throat, www.arrowfreedom.com which includes a bonus feature about the club.
Reems certainly didn’t know of its existence until one day he got a letter from Joe’s wife. She asked Reems to autograph an 8 by 10 glossy for Joe’s 60th birthday four years ago which Reems obliged and wrote on the photo that he could make Joe a star. Joe says he started the club back in the early Seventies after Deep Throat came out and the club has grown to where it has thousands of members all over the world. Each member carries his own personalized card and flaunts it proudly.
