Forced to Strip naked in “The Possession of Joel Delaney”

[Freesub]

I've seen the censored version of this before, but the uncensored version exposes him fully.

I can only imagine how much fun his female co starts had watching him dancing nude

I always wondered though, why wouldn't the man demand the girl also get naked

I think he may have just been written as naked to sell tickets because it was easy enough to have a boy go naked

The boy had nothing much to see to be honest. I could hardly see his penis at all.

Wow what a crazy situation. I can't imagine doing something like that at that age. The girl who played his sister certainly had a full frontal view of him and his back side a few times, not to mention everything she would have seen throughout the day with however many hours it took to shoot. That it happened right at the end when they've already spent time together, and that it was a last minute script change he had to go along with just makes it so much worse. His mother was fine with it, so much was already invested, there was no way to back out now.
I wonder what went through her sister's head as she experienced it, did she pity him for having to do it? Thrilled at having this rare opportunity? Did she tease him when the cameras weren't rolling, or silently try to make eye contact and smirk at him? And how did he feel in that moment, having to not only strip in front of her and let her see him full frontal, but also dance without covering as she dances around him.

In 2020, David Elliott appeared on the YouTube channel Let's Talk Jaws (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdcVpaFDmrA). At about 19:40, the interviewer asked him how he felt about the nude scene. He said, "That movie was worth thousands of dollars of therapy." He went on to explain that the table scene was not in the original script when he took the movie. During the last two weeks of shooting, they rewrote the scene so that he would have to dance naked on the table. He said, "My mother, who was supposed to be my guardian, was like 'Sure, fine, whatever.'"

Very interesting interview. I love how she smiles and laughs as she leads up to describing the naked table dance scene and asking him specifically about it, unsure of exactly how to word her question "did they make you" dance naked, "just curious as a fan". Then she's full on cackling at him saying he needed years of therapy, visibly smiling when he describes how they changed the scene to where he'd be "dancing naked on the table", and her reaction to his mother's indifference to his situation. At that moment it's almost a sadistic laugh and grin reaction, I get the sense that she loves that a woman was in a spot to make that decision, to have the power and control over whether or not a male will be compelled to strip naked and dance on a table on camera for a movie, and how the mother was just fine with it, uncaring at him losing his dignity.

Even when she apologizes for bringing it up due to "years of therapy" she's clearly smiling and can barely stop herself from laughing. Feels like she intentionally wanted to bring it up one more just to rub in the humiliation, rather than her feeling genuinely remorseful at the trauma he underwent.

I wonder how old she (the interviewer) was when this movie came out. It's possible she watched a VHS copy growing up and this was one of the first times she saw a boy around her age naked, and this interview was finally her chance at bringing it up.

The part I find humorous is the girl clearly deliberately dancing in the direction of being in front of him so she would be able to see his penis. Something I’ve written about before is how I observed my little cousins shifting their position when they knew they were going to have an opportunity to see an opposite sex cousin’s genitals, usually when changing in and out of swim trunks or when getting ready for bed, occasionally a bare ass spanking. That being said, it was a two way street and unlike the case with this film, apart from the odd family friend that showed up every now and then, all the kids were family. Girls and boys saw each other at least half naked regularly, which I know might sound crazy but you have to understand at family get togethers the littler kids through the tween years would sleep all in one big bedroom.

Anyway I’m getting lost in a personal anecdote just cause the girl reminded me of my cousins having a not so subtle look at each other. This case is of course entirely at the boy’s expense, although you can’t blame the girl at her age for wanting to see between his legs. That being said, imagine if it were the other way around. He never got to see her naked I'm sure, not that it would have made the whole thing any less perverted, and there is no doubt especially after watching the interview that the boy found the experience unspeakably embarrassing. These two kids are not family. Even if they were, it still would have been humiliating for the boy which is a testament to the abject mortification he would have experienced while this was being filmed.

The fact that this was allowed to happen is unspeakably repulsive. Nobody who should have advocated for this child, not even his own mother, intervened and stopped this from happening.

I didn’t know the actor had done a retrospective interview so many years later. While I think the laughter from the woman interviewing is nervous laughter and not ill intentioned, I do think there was an opportunity to delve deeper into this that was missed, assuming he wanted to talk about it. I personally have many questions for him about this scene.

There was a point when this scene was added during filming when he was informed he would have to be naked, in front of a girl no less, and he obviously felt he had no choice but to agree to it. Makes you wonder if the girl was excited when she found out she would see him fully exposed.

Like so many cases of child abuse, this was allowed to happen by many, many people who could have stopped it. It had to be approved for the re-write in the first place during production so the boy could not get out of it, actors and crew all had to act like what was happening was normal, his mother had to agree to him doing this, editors and producers in post production, not to mention the MPAA had to ok this to be shown in cinemas.

Not one person in that entire chain of events stopped this from happening. Not even the boy’s mother. That to me is the most horrific thing about this film.

I just found the uncensored version and Wow!...you can see everything! When the boy carries his clothes to toss them out the door his small penis is completely exposed as the camera is looking at him full frontal. He’s completely hairless and his little pink penis looks about 2 inches at most. How embarrassing for the boy! And to have that young actress looking at him nude the whole time! Must have been something of a thrill for the girl.

[Jeepman89]

She's an older girl so I don't know how exciting seeing his little peepee would have been.

Depends on her experience

[Loki Room]

Wow, his penis really is tiny. The picture quality is quite low, but when he turns to go back inside you can see how little it sticks out from his body.

It’s not too unusual to still be hairless at 12, he’ll probably start growing pubes within a few months. It’s also possible he’ll be well endowed by the end of puberty, but this will be the version of his penis that will stay preserved forever, tiny and hairless.

One positive for him is that he has a great butt, though I doubt a boy his age really cares about that

[CarolineT]

Yes, he does have a small penis especially when you consider that he seems to have an erection. When he turns, as you noticed, it sticks out from his body possibly no more than a couple of inches at most. I suppose it’s common for some boys to get an erection when their naked and embarrassed in front of girls or so I’ve heard. His genitals are also, as you noticed, completely hairless so he’s just about entering puberty. That’s a very sensitive time for both boys and girls. Lisa, the actress playing his sister, seemed very excited in the way she positioned herself to look at his genitals. She “danced” around to look at him fully frontal while he’s “dancing” on the table. That must’ve been very embarrassing for him. He appears distressed and blushing the whole time and it wasn’t “acting” since he claims he ended up in therapy because of this experience. He really is quite a cute boy with very pale white skin that enhances his blushing and I agree that he’s got a nice white bubble butt.

The movie was filmed in January and February of 1971. David was born in July of 1959, so he was only 11-1/2 and therefore probably not far into puberty, if at all. Lisa was born in September of 1958, which makes her 10 months older than David.

I know that my forced skinny dipping experience when I was 9 made me so nervous that my dick tried to hide. I think David was embarrassed and nervous, so he was probably experiencing the same problem.
