pornographic chic

Golden Age of Porn – 15-year period in which sexually explicit films experienced mainstream success. The term “Golden Age of Porn”, or “porno chic”, refers to a 15-year period in commercial American pornography, in which sexually explicit films experienced positive attention from mainstream cinemas, movie critics, and the general public. This American period, which subsequently spread internationally, and that began before the legalisation of pornography in Denmark on July 1, 1969, started on June 12, 1969, with the theatrical release of the film Blue Movie directed by Andy Warhol, and, somewhat later, with the release of the 1970 film Mona the Virgin Nymph produced by Bill Osco.
