This first comprehensive and most in-depth history of cinematic
pornography details sex in film from 100 years ago to today,
concentrating on the quarter-century since Deep Throat, when
pornography became a subject of popular culture.
Luke Ford is the best-known source on the porn film world today-the
only journalist writing about the industry who is not also employed
by it. This unique position gives Ford the objectivity to report
without bias, and he is often consulted as a trusted news source on
the porn industry by many major news publications.
Insightful, entertaining, and bold, A History of X takes us from
the primitive film studios of the 1900s, where porn got its start
as a daring experiment in sexual freedom, to the closed-door,
multi-million-dollar porn-film corporations of today. Ford includes
exclusive interviews with the stars, the producers, and the
distributors as well as detailed data on censorship attempts from
the early days to the present. He documents the controversial
careers of top porn stars Marilyn Chambers, John Holmes, Linda
Lovelace, Harry Reems, Gerard Damiano, Georgina Spelvin, Traci
Lords, Max Hardcore, Ginger Lynn, and others, revealing both the
great benefits and the tragic consequences that often come from
fame and fortune in the porn industry.
He also discusses the many controversial aspects to the business,
including Mafia influences, the impact of the AIDS epidemic on the
industry, and the myths and realities behind child pornography.
Extensively researched and documented, A History of X is a
fascinating expose of a business few dare to touch.
