The Release of the Gay Video

The adult movie industry has come a long way from the days of underground only distribution and taboo topics. Porno flicks have evolved from a scandalous hobby to a billion dollar industry across the world. From the sales of straight DVDs to the rentals of gay videos, pornography has been shaped by a long history. Gay sex has had a doubly difficult time making its way into the home media players. For a long time, the homoeroticism stayed underground because of obscenity laws and sodomy laws in various places. Pornography had a tough road in getting to become acceptable to the public, and on top of that, gay video makers had to work extra hard. Before gay video was deemed more accepted by the public, porn experienced a tremendous growth in the 1980s to clear the way for gay sex to be on display. This super growth that the pornography industry experienced owed its thanks to the invention of the VHS.

With the invention of the VCR and VHS tapes in the late 1970s and early 1980s, pornography gave rise to many porn stars such as Ginger Lynn, Traci Lords, and John Holmes. Alan Flynn was a man responsible for improving media technology, improving zoom options on the cameras to get close ups for the first time of the actors genitals in action. Along with the VCRs and VHS tapes, camcorders played an important hand in the evolution of pornography. Everyday people could now make their own private porn in the privacy of their own home. Anyone could then be a porn star. The history of gay sex porn is one that goes back to Ancient Greek times, maybe even before then. While pornography as a whole increased big time during the 1980s, gay sex movies expanded greatly beginning in the 1970s. These were the days of the Turkish bathhouses and gay movie theaters, places where men could gather together to well, take baths and watch movies. As a result of the growing popularity of the theaters, porn studios increased the amount of gay video that was produced to be shown in these theaters. Many of the gay films depicted ideas of sexual liberation for gay men, by way of showing hot arousing gay sex taking place in public areas. Another thing that helped propel the adult film business was the AIDS crisis. Up until the 1980s, gay and straight pornography had been a relatively public thing, by way of the bathhouses and special theaters. With the help of the home video, masturbating in the privacy of the home watching these porn flicks became a safe sex practice, as opposed to having sex with random people in public meeting areas.
