PORN FROM WARHOL TO X-TUBE Coffeetable Book Dr. Kevin Clarke Porn from Warhol to X-Tube The history of gay porn with hundreds of color-plates and fascinating facts. The history of porn is damn exciting. It has come a long way from the discrete beginnings in the early sixties to pay per minute porn which we can see direct- ly on our screen at home. This anthology leads us through the decades. It only shows us how the industry developed but also how the porn stars themselves have changed. From Pop Art to homemade 3 minute porn videos that we upload on x-tube, from dark cinemas to glamorous galas, the world is porn! 260 full-color pages, hardback with dust-jacket.

The Vietnam War had broken out in 1964 and caused some serious social turmoil out of which a countercul- ture emerged, not just in the US but the whole world over. It was a coun- terculture that was to radically challenge the old order of things and throw many of its time honored moral values overboard.
