Fashion trends in the 90's in non-XXX land were trending toward either bald or "brazilian" shaves that could be hidden by the tiniest of bikinis, but I think as with some other things it was Insex that slammed the door on pubic hair, since they pretty much did everything for seven years bu...

Forced intercourse is the new 1NC357. It may be hard to believe, but in the late 1970's letters magazines used to have regular letter sets featuring families, including pubescent but underage teenagers, having full on sexual intercourse in various combinations. These stories were portrayed as consen...

"I'd rather be weird than an asshole" -- words to live by. I have observed over the years that it is people who are "weird" who have actually thought about their place in the world, and what their fantasies and expectations mean in terms of reality and their inner life. "Nor...

Oh thanks for the clarification bakerboy. I guess I never gave much thought to what the video transition would mean to actual Hollywood. Now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense.

There were actually several transitions, depending on which part of the business you focus on. The mainstream "golden age of porn" was well and truly over by 1982. Film grain does not make up for the lighting, wardrobe, locations, writing, extra nonsex scenes to knit a story together, and ...

"The first victim was an impulsive act" seems to be a fairly common theme, with killers becoming more deliberate and organized after accepting that they have crossed a transom. This is how the character of Buffalo Bill is drawn in Silence of the Lambs. His first kill isn't well thought out...

Okay, I don't want to be That Guy, but I have to put up my two cents here. Crotch ropes annoy the crap out of me. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the basic idea done once in awhile. But there are factors. Factors, I tells ya. 1. Crotch ropes are ropes. I really don't like ropes. My f...

Thank you for that historical recap, La Reine Margot. I knew bits and pieces of it but it's fascinating to see the whole thing put together in linear order.

Woke has nothing to do with it. For almost all of our entire lives, porn and other transgressive materials have been regulated by authorities who frankly don't want us to have what we want because they are afraid we will be having too much fun. There are only a few windows past that in all of modern...
