Girls in
My Tutor (1983)

Phoebe Cates’s other great ’80s teen sex comedy also

features Saw babe Betsy Russell, scream queen Brinke Stevens, and loads of sexy surprises.

If summertime 1982 served as cherry-popping Ground Zero for the decade’s teen sex comedy phenomenon—and seeing as it contained the premieres of Porky's, The Last American Virgin, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, it did—then the subsequent swelter season’s Private School (1983) was the first direct fallout. And what a gloriously radiant after-effect it is.

To be sure, a spate of raunchy teen farces did rush into theaters during the ’82-’83 school year—among them: The Beach Girls, Homework, Joysticks, Losin’ It, Goin’ All the Way, My Tutor, Pink Motel, Spring Break, (the mighty) Screwballs, and (the also mighty) Zapped!

But Private School represented Hollywood’s first full-scale attempt to concoct an all-out teen sex comedy blockbuster, calculatedly combining familiar genre tropes (nerds, jocks, nudity-producing pranks, cross-dressing one’s way into the girls’ shower room, etc.), and then adding Phoebe Cates—the naked girl from Fast Times—up on top like a beautiful, brown-nippled bow.

A Skintroduction to Mr Skin's Man in the Feels

Editor's Note: McBeardo is Mr Skin’s resident sexpert on weird, cult, fringe, midnight, underground and/or any other extreme form of skinema.

He reports from the frontlines and backrooms of most skintimidating screening halls on the planet – not the least of which is the place where he keeps his couch.

The opinions of McBeardo are not necessarily those of Mr Skin, MrSkin.com, or any related affiliates. The ideas as to what constitutes a “wild time” are definitely not Mr Skin’s, period.

Crispin Hellion Glover is an actor, author, filmmaker, performance artist, and one of contemporary culture's most intriguing, and endearing, oddballs. Best known to mainstream audiences as the nerdy father in the original Back to the Future (1985), Glover has since blazed a unique trail through the entertainment industry in which he acts in everything from Hollywood blockbusters to micro-budget curiosities.

As the carefree paradise of summer makes way for the bummer of fall, teachers and students return to the hallowed halls of learning. But we at MrSkin.com submit that the end of summer vacation doesn't have to mean the end of covert sexual trysts and boast-worthy conquests, because sometimes the math teacher in the low-cut blouse is more willing than anyone would suspect to supply her teenage students with erotic diversions that no inexperienced high-school girl could ever provide.
