For many Americans, the emergence of a "porno chic" culture
provided an opportunity to embrace the sexual revolution by
attending a film like Deep Throat (1972) or leafing through an
erotic magazine like Penthouse. By the 1980s, this pornographic
moment was beaten back by the rise of Reagan-era political
conservatism and feminist anti-pornography sentiment. This volume
places pornography at the heart of the 1970s American experience,
exploring lesser-known forms of pornography from the decade, such
as a new, vibrant gay porn genre; transsexual/female impersonator
magazines; and pornography for new users, including women and
conservative Christians. The collection also explores the rise of a
culture of porn film auteurs and stars as well as the transition
from film to video. As the corpus of adult ephemera of the 1970s
disintegrates, much of it never to be professionally restored and
archived, these essays seek to document what pornography meant to
its producers and consumers at a pivotal moment. In addition to the
volume editors, contributors include Peter Alilunas, Gillian Frank,
Elizabeth Fraterrigo, Lucas Hilderbrand, Nancy Semin Lingo, Laura
Helen Marks, Nicholas Matte, Jennifer Christine Nash, Joe Rubin,
Alex Warner, Leigh Ann Wheeler, and Greg Youmans.
