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. PORN AS POP ART It wasn’t till the mid-sixties that porn truly started to happen and be noti- ced as a general cultural phenomenon.

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.
