It is an interesting title. It earned an "X" rating, but nothing beyond that, and certainly not a XXX rating. it's actually quite tame (I'm referring to the original Emanuelle).
Now "Deep Throat", well, that's another whole can O worms.
The X rating wasn't always just for porn, as many of us know. For instance, "Fritz the Cat", an animated feature by Ralph Bakshi was X rated, and it was only animated sex. "Midnight Cowboy" was originally rated X as well. I believe that the unedited "Last Tango in Paris" also garnered an X rating, mostly because of it's depiction of anal intercourse.
I think it's a shame when these kind of films get an X rating. While I understand the need to protect the public, (and I really don't see the need to actually visually, graphically, represent these kind of things on film, much better to leave it to the audiences "naughty little minds"), many people will just pass aside on these "X" rated films, when there is in most cases, very good film-making going on besides the very few momments that actually garner the "X" rating.
Now, XXX, that just needs a rating of course.
