BERLI N, G ERMANY

[ Woman Narrating In English ]
In our sick society. everyone is sick.



A human being averages
4. 000 orgasms per lifetime.

Do not turn offthis pulsating motor
of joy and life energy.

Orgasmotherapy
is the program ofSexpol...

as taught by the revolutionary
doctor and communist. Wilhelm Reich.

[ Chorus. In Russian ]
? Communist Party ?

? My fragrant flower ?

? Communist Party ?

? My beloved?

? My fragrant flower ?

? Communist Party ?

? My beloved?

? My fragrant flower ??

[ Narrator] The bioelectric charge and discharge
produced by the genital embrace...

causes the orgasmic reflex -

supremelypleasurable
muscular contractions.

Subjection to social disciplines
may cause gastric ulcers...

respiratory. coronary
and vascular diseases.

Comrade lovers.
foryour health's sake. fuck freely.

The communist movement
fights for the liberation...

ofman's natural impulses
andjoy ofliving.

4. 000 liberating orgasms
in every woman's and man's life...

are 4. 000 explosions
ofliberated life energy.

Only by liberating
both love and labor...

can we create
a self-regulating workers 'society.

[ Chorus. In Russian ]
? All the people ?

? All the people followyou ?

? All the people ?

? My beloved party ?

? All the people followyou ?

? All the people ?

? My beloved party ?

? All the people followyou ??

[ Narrator] Body tissue deprived
oflife energy turns cancerous.

Cancer is the hysteria
of cells condemned to death.

Cancer and fascism
are closely related.

Fascism is the frenzy
ofsexual cripples.

The swastika owes its magnetism to being
a symbol oftwo bodies locked in genital embrace.

It all stems
from a longing for love.

Comrades. make love joyously
and without fear.

Let the current flow
sweetly up your spine.

Letyour hips roll
andyour mouth water.

Saliva is good.

Embracing lovers radiate a bluish light:
orgone illumination...

the same sort oflight
the astronauts saw in outer space.

Let us reactivate the natural vibrations
within ourselves and society.

Let the current stream sweetly
through your muscles.

Feel free to tremble and cry.

Letyourselfenjoyyour body.

As revolutionaries
whose revolution renounces love...

we feel very uncomfortable.

What's happening to the revolution?

Each baby is a new approach to life.

How can we help
this new being to grow up free?

The man who discovered orgone -
cosmic energy. the energy oflife and love -

fled from Hitler and Stalin
to America. Iand ofthe free.

He gave up the ideologies ofhis youth.
eventually voting for Eisenhower.

In Maine. he set up
the orgone laboratory...

a scientific research center.

How can we rid ourplanet
of its deadly clouds ofsmog?

How can we make the deserts
green and fruitful?

[ Man Speaking English ]
"'Hooray. 'he cried. 'I am a real boy!. '

"Look at me dance. Listen to me talk. '

"Old Geppetto sm i led,
for he knew i n his heart...

that Pinocchio had much to learn
before he could be a real boy."

- [ Man ] Dr. Sharaf?
- Yeah. I'm here in the accumulator.

-[ Man ] Canyou come out?
- Shall we come out now, Paul?.
'Cause theywant to talk.

Okay.

Well, this is the accumulator.

Not in a very, uh, dignified setting...

but the air is fresh out here.

And, uh, there are about -

oh, I would say maybe not more than 1 0 or 1 5
ofthese now being used in the country.

There were, at the height ofthe interest -

and when Reich was still alive and before
the injunction, there were about 300.

Canyou explain to us
an accumulatora little?

- How it works?.
- Yeah.

Well -Yeah. It's - It's - It's actually -
It's not, uh -

It mystifies me in part
because it is very simple.

It's just, uh, organic material
on the outside-organic material -

and metal material on the inside.

And it - it, uh -

The organic thing operates
like a nylon material...

which collects what's called
static electricity...

orwhat Reich called orgone energy.

[Narrator] The orgone accumulator.
orgone shooterand orgone blanket...

were used in the treatment ofailments
due to a low energy level in the body...

and. experimentally.
in the treatment ofcancer.

And he had a machine -
which my finger was bleeding very bad -

and he used this machine on my finger...

and it stopped bleeding.

Which is the cut right there.
You can see the cut very plain.

It stopped bleeding almost immediately.

[Narrator]
Insteadofputting his theories to a scientific test...

the American authorities prosecuted
Reich like a common criminal.

[ Woman Speaking English ]
His last words to the Supreme Court were...

"The planet is i n trouble"...

and I recommend that anybody
who really wants to know read his suppressed...

and secret evidence...

in which, uh, he outlined his...

stand judicially.

And in spite ofthat, he wa -

experienced a judicial murder...

which resembles that which he outlined
in his book The Murder ofChrist.

And, uh, we have managed to make...

a life here after his death.

But I feel that, uh...

the world went the wrong way...

at the time ofhis death. 1 957.

[ Narrator]
He died. a free man to the end...

in the federal penitentiary
at Lewisburg. Pennsylvania.

But ifhe was insane.
as it was claimed...

then why was he brought to trial?

?? [ European Folk Waltz ]

- ?? [ Ends ]
- [ Birds Chirping ]

[ Narrator] In the case of
The U nited States of America vs. Wil helm Reich...

the U..S. District Court ruled
that his published works be destroyed.

The Discovery of the Orgone -

Volume 1, The Function of the Orgasm,
Volume 2, Cancer Biopathy -

Ether, God and Devil...

Cosmic Superimposition...

Listen, Little Man,
The Murder ofChrist...

People in Trouble -

these books were burned
in the public incinerator...

at the corner ofHudson and
Gansevoort streets in New York City...

under the supervision offederal
Food and Drugs Administration agents.

This occurred on August 1 0. 1 956....

and again on March 1 7. 1 96.0.

Because you came from
behind the Iron Curtain...

and because, ifyou really said in
your own country what you really think...

you wouldn't be alive there.

You don't think so.
But I believe...

that children...

are...

manufactured into good state beings...

in the communist nations.

In otherwords,
real creative individuality is the crime.

Nobody smiles in Russia
unless they suddenly laugh.

But people go around very serious.

And they have a dream
ofwhat's gonna be...

but they don't notice that they don't
have enough food for themselves.

The food is mostly grown
in little gardens like this one. You know?.

[Man ] Canyou tell us something
about the American dream?

Oh, the American dream is dead.

[ Man ]
In the evening. um...

we were in the house.
and we got a call from the Tropps...

which was a family who lived
about two blocks away...

saying that there was a group
ofpeople coming up the road...

shouting "Down with the Orgies "...

"Down with the commies. "
"Down with the Orgies. "

They called us "Orgies "because
it was an abbreviation ofOrgonon and orgone.

And they were very frightened.

And they said they were
coming down towards our house.

And sure enough. in about five minutes.
there was this group ofpeople outside...

uh. shouting "Down with the Orgies "
and "Down with the commies. "

I was terrified.
And I remember that Reich got his. 45 out -

a. 45 automatic -

and went out the back door. I think.

And the leader ofthe group
was a storekeeper - a local storekeeper.

And he was just shouting
for them to go away.

And we were worried
because he went away with them.

We didn't know what had happened.

And I remember driving down -
this was at night -

drivi ng down the mai n street of town -

And I don't even know anymore if - if I saw this
out of fear or if it really happened.

I'm not sure anymore. But...

I remember - I remember seeing Reich
with a.45 at this man's back...

just walking him down Main Street.

Hello. I am Vance Oakes.

And I run the Main Street Market
with my brother here.

It's an old-fashioned store.

I've, uh -We've been here 52 years.

And our father before us.

And Dr. Reich used to come here
and trade day after day.

We knew him verywell.
Here's my brother.

- He'll tell you who I am.
- Hello. I'm Carl Oakes.

I'm in business with my brotherVance...

for all theseyears, except for
two or three when he was ahead of me.

And, uh, we all knew Dr. Reich verywell.

He used to come in our market...

tell us to open up ourwindows,
let the air in.

Well. he was. uh. considered...

unusual.

People. uh. didn't understand him.

Myname is Pete Darova.
Deputy sheriffand barber here in Rangeley.

I, uh, was Dr. Reich's barber...

when he was here.

And, uh...

he, uh...

had a peculiar way of having
his hair cut, uh, and combed.

He, uh, didn't want it combed
like ordinary people -

parted and down this way.

He wanted it combed all upwards
like this and -

One time- I'll neverforget-
therewas a man working for him...

and at 7:00 in the morning
he walked into my store.

And he says, uh,
"Vance, Dr. Reich is a communist."

And I said, "What doyou mean??"
"Well," he says, "I was eating my lunch...

"and I looked up,
and he was looking at a map.

"And when he saw me looking at it,
he moved it away.

"And I tell ya. I'm thinking he's making
maps ofthis country.

But besides, he hasn't paid me
for three weeks."

[Laughs ]
Which I thoughtprobablywas the reason.

[ Narrator] "Are men from outerspace
alreadyliving on the planet Earth?

"On March 1 0. 1 956..
at 1 0: 00 at night...

"this almost incredible idea
came to me.

"Am I really a spaceman?

"Do I belong to a new race ofearthlings
sired by beings from outer space...

"who had intercourse
with Earth women?

"Are my children the first offspring
ofan interplanetary race?

"Is this thought in some way related
to what is yet to happen in the future?

"I claim the privilege
ofasking these and similar questions...

"without fear ofbeing imprisoned for it
by any authority whatsoever.

"I hate the irrational.

"However. I believe that even
the most flagrant irrationality...

"must contain something
ofrational truth.

"There is nothing in this human world
ofours that is not in some way right...

however distorted it may be. "

In the 1 950s. the Orgonon became
an international center for sex economy research.

Rumor called it
a secretJewish organization...

that was masturbating patients
in orgone accumulators...

experimenting on children
kept in cages...

and plotting to introduce
work democracy.

Federal agents.
eager to observe sex scenes...

Iurked in the bushes
with their binoculars.

Reich shot at them.

[ Recording: Reich Speaking English ]
I took my gun...

and I saw a group marching...

and clearly shouting.
"Commies! Commies! Commies!

Come out! Out with you!
Orgie! Orgie! Orgie! Orgie! "

And I stopped them right away.

And I asked them.
"Who has called here...

'Down with the commies '
or 'Out with the commies '?"

And I saw then Anderson.
the druggist.

"I elected Eisenhower today.
I'm for Eisenhower. Everybody here did.

"Now that does not help Eisenhower.
It does not help America.

"I'm going to report it to the F.B.I.

"I want to say nobody here is a communist.
We are all fighting the communists.

"That I have fought the communists...

Iong before anybody in the U.nited States
knew the commies - in 1 930. "

[ Woman Breathing Heavily]

- [ Man ] That's it. Very good.
- [ Breathing Continues ]

And once the breathing
begins to... deepen...

then the feeling
begins to flow through the body.

[ Breathing Continues ]

And we will promote this also
bymobilizing the movement ofthe pelvis.

Now. bounce it up and down a bit. Come on.
Bounce it. Bounce it. Come on. Rock. Come on.

Come on. Keep it rocking.

And keep breathing.

Very good. Keep it rocki ng.

And whi le she's breathing,
I listen to the sound of her breathing -

- [ Heavy Breathing]
- Good. Keep it going.

Very good.

That's it. And you can hear the air
being sucked into the body spontaneously.

[ Heavy Breathing Continues ]

Now come up.
Bringyourhead up.

Now press on your feet.

There's a lot ofholding
in most people at the back ofthe neck...

where their stubbornness
and their spite...

is located.

And it's a holding against giving in...

Ietting go to their feelings...

Ietting theirfeelings take over.

- Very good.
- [ Breathing Heavily]

Very good. Go. Okay.
Let the crying come.

- [ Sobbing ]
- Go on. Keep - Keep -

He would ask me to breathe,
first of all. Breathe. [ Exhales ]

"Your eyes -Your eyes are going off.
Look at me."

Look at him. "Your mouth.
You're -Your smile. Let it go. Let - "

And then - [ Shouts ]
You know. Or, uh -

And also pressing the chest down...

and sobbing in a very short time.

And really feeling these - And then,
even in the sobbing, don't stop breathing.

'Cause everybody cries. I mean,
it would be nothing to get somebody to cry.

Any sadist could getyou to cry.

But to cry and to feel
the person pressing forward -

"Keep the breathing.
Don't stop the breathing.

"Let it come through fully
with a full sob.

"Let it come. Don't stop.
No. You're running away.

"You're running away. Don't run.
Don't run. Let it come. Let it come.

Keep breathing. You're forcing the breathing.
Let it come naturally."

Ah, you get desperate.
You get mad as hell at him.

"Keep it -That's it. Get angry,
but don't stop breathing."

And finally -
[ Sighs ]

Go through the body...

and to feel this -
what he would call my urgency give way...

and I would feel it give way...

to this kind of peaceful...

streaming in the body
when the breathing came through fully.

And to feel this current of energy...

Ieading to a verywarm,
strong sensation...

particularly in the genitals.

And it's not the same
as just becoming excited sexually.

Though it was related to that.

But it was a feeling offullness
and pleasure...

and not empty feeling
thatyou're just living in your head.

No!

- No!
- [Dr. Lowen ] Raise the head.

No!

No! No!

[Dr. Lowen ]
The movement is caught...

about at this level.

And bybreathing in and out...

the - the tortuous
"S" movement of the body...

you know. is trying to establish itself.

Breathe out. Breathe out.

- [ Exhales ]
- Sigh. Go ahead. As you breathe out.

- [ Sighs ]
- [ Sighs ]

That's it. Go ahead. Sigh.

- [ Sighing ]
- Keep the chest lower.

[ Sighing Continues ]

All right. Enough of this movement.

Enough of this movement.

Put the - Put the knees up.
Get a hold ofthem.

That's right. Breathe.

- That's it. Let the whole bodygo into it.
- [ Man ] That's the way.

[ Dr. Lowen ]
That's it. That's it.

That's it. Let it -

Rest down on the heels.

That's it.

- Sigh. Sigh. Go ahead. Sigh.
- [ Sighs ]

- Loosen thejaw.
- [ Sighs ]

That's it.

- [ Dr. Lowen ] How doyou feel?
- [ Woman ] I feel very bright...

and muchyounger and more alive.

Andjust very - very soft.

And very much aware of everything
that's around me and very -

Iike, really not frightened.

I remember the feeling I had
when I first asked a friend of mine...

"Would you come and masturbate
for me in the studio so I can draw it??"

And it's like, "Oh, wow."

That -That kind ofthing -
You know, you don't -you don't do that.

It's okay to - to make out with a partner...

but the masturbation thing
seems to be so personal.

Every one ofthese people said after
the experience that they felt very good about it...

and they felt very liberated.

It was ajoyful thing forthem.

Give it to me!

Give it to me!

Give it to me! Give it to me!

It's mine! Mine! Give it to me!

Give it to me!

Ifanysane man orwoman...

would be produced by a doctor suddenly...

what would be the consequences?.

Well, this is very simple.

He very likelywould commit suicide.

We're in this women's lib group together.

The body is the person.

That you express who you are...

through your body
as much as through your mind.

You are - You don't have a body.
You are your body.

And looking at a body, and sensing a body,
we can know who the person is.

For example, we look at his eyes...

and we find, for example,
that we can see that he's frightened.

His eyes are big like that,
and ifthose -

Ifthat is the expression
that's constant in his eyes...

we know that this is a frightened person.

Oryou can have very sad eyes.

Ofthe eyes can be cut out, blank,
like in schizophrenia or in a schizoid person.

Withdrawn. See?. You don't see them.
They don't reach out toyou.

Then we look at every other aspect
ofthe body - the mouth, the jaw.

For example, you have people with their
tight, hard, determined jaws.

And then the jaws that are withdrawn,
as if a person hasn't got a right to assert himself.

You know. Talks like this. You see?.

And then the tight mouths.

Or has he got
the exaggerated manliness...

ofthe West Point position
with the inflated chest...

and the held-in belly, you know,
and the hard expression?.

Or is his chest collapsed, you see?.

And then is he afraid to let his belly out?. Does he
have to hold his belly in to control his feelings?.

Or can he afford to let himselfbe loose?.

And does he tuck his ass in like a dog
with his tail tucked between his legs like this?.

You see?.
Or is it too far backward like that?.

Each ofthese tells us about the person.

And then we go down
to see how he stands on the ground.

[ T oy: Machi ne Gun Fi re ]

[ Man ] This paper is so patriotic.
it frightens the shit out ofmost people...

'cause it's the freest. most controversial.
most honest publication ofthe last 50years.

And a lot ofpeople
give lip service to freedom...

but when they see it
right in front ofthem...

they suddenly become authoritarian
and afraid offreedom.

Screw, which offends everybody.
Catholic.Jew. Protestant. black. white.

So this paper is patriotic
'cause it's the very essence...

ofwhat America was supposed to be
in 1 776. and is not.

So, there we were
i n front of the fireplace...

and making love...

which was new to me -
to make love to a man.

And there was a man making love to me.

And I felt - I felt like -

I felt very feminine
because he was very masculine.

Then we went from the couch,
which was in front ofthe fireplace...

and we dried - the rain dried
from the warmth ofthe fire.

And that was very sexy.
We went to the bed.

And I would not let him -
I wouldn't let him fuck me.

And I wouldn't go - I wouldn't -

I wouldn't go down on him, 'cause
this was my first time in bed with a man...

who was taller than me, hairier than me.

Oh, and so handsome.
And he knew everything hewas doing.

Sowhat did he do?.

Hewent down on me.
And I came immediately.

Andit was so- to him.
it was so fantastic...

that he wanted myphone number...

and I would not give it to him
as I was getting dressed.

And this was an action that was
to be repeated later on...

in my other briefaffairs with strangers -
that I would not give them my number...

because I was afraid.

But didn't I go to his apartment every night
and ring his bell at 3: 00 in the morning...

stand outside his windowyelling his name...

and never had any success or any luck?

I didn't see him foryears.

And the next time I saw him.
I was a girl.

And he couldn't get ready.

Still turned on. but he was. Iike.
into sleeping with boys...

which was sort of. uh. very limited...

when he had all the equipment.

I mean.
since I was the same person.

I mean. Iiterally the same person.

That's the girl I was tellingyou about.
Isn't she fantastic?

'Cause I would wear the glitter on my lips -
the red glitter on -

The glitter on the eyes,
the glitter in the hair...

and it would be, like, really -
I mean, unreal.

You just don't see things like that, you know.

Just likeyou don't see things like that.

Cute kid.

Such a pretty head.

Chopped offby something
very sharp - an ax or cleaver.

The blow must have been
very severe.

For this pretty head to lose its neck
required a strong stroke.

of sperm - three or four times the usual.

Any clues at the scene?.

Could it have been group sex?.

Based on the evidence,

I doubt she was gang-banged

a wild night oflove.

No sign of a struggle.
