We’ve all heard the jokes and seen the signs in saloons about “Free beer tomorrow.” Now we have both free porn tomorrow _and_ free porn today.

> [@Ambivalid](#): > > IMHO, sex videos don’t become porn until available to the masses. For me, it’s what purpose it serves. If you’re filming it because it’s part of some sort of personal documentary on the love story of you and your SO, I guess it might not be porn. But if it’s there so you can jack it when the missus is away or doesn’t want to play (or you want to incorporate it into your sex sessions). Well, porn. Like I said before, nothing wrong with it either way. Who doesn’t like some homemade porn? ---

Movies are dead. There are at least hundreds, if not thousands of people having webcam sex you can watch live at any time of day or night. There’s a couple who go to the same dive bar I go to who I hear are regular performers at such places. ---

The porn medium count in this thread to date, renumbered and revised, but quoted here in order of posting. The brackets mark off my inserts to add the historical order. [I skirt “don’t change quotes” rule for the clarity I’m attempting to achieve, the Leo Bloom Porn History number [LBPH] If someone can reformat this with nested quotes with interpolated new comment have at it; this took me _way_ too much time :)] > [@Ike\_Witt](#): > > [**LBPH 6**] > People had been filming sex since home movie cameras… > > > [@LSLGuy](#): > > > > [**LBPH 5 and LBPH 1**]… > > I’d wager that sometime on the second day after Daguerre finished his invention the first dirty picture got taken.

I’ve read about it myself. Honestly, I’ll believe just about anything when it comes to ignorance about the human body. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-percentage-of-the-population-has-been-in-a-porn-movie/785792.md?page=2)
