80's pornstars...could they hack it today?

[RogueWolf]

For those of us who started watching porn in the 80's...think about your favorite starlets. For me...its Buffy Davis and Little Oral Annie. Now...with the way porn has gone these days...totally gonzo...how do you think your favorite girl would do?

Little Oral Annie gave an awesome blowjob...but could she take a rough facefucking like Bridgette Kerkove? Buffy Davis looked sooo good with a cock up her ass...but could she handle an anal gang bang?

Who's your favorites and what do you think?

Has a female's anatomy changed between the 80's and now? Are today's pornstars on steroids like today's baseball players, giving them the ability to endure more brutality like steroids gave Mark McGuire the ability to hit more homeruns? I'm sure if all the stuff that's done in porn today was done in the 80's, those girls would be doing it also. They would just be getting paid less to do it...inflation.

I think wlfman has a point. There are many things that are routine today that were rare or not done at all in the 80s. For example, I don't think Ginger Lynn or Christy Canyon were ever asked to gape their assholes or swap cum or do double vag, etc.

They weren't asked because those weren't accepted sexual acts back in those days, not because they couldn't do them. Hell, back then facials were a rare occurance.

Today, many of these things are performed because of the now gray area of the phrase "acceptable by the community standards", which is the term in the law that keeps fisting out of American porn (at least mainstream videos). Producers now wade into that gray area because of court victories by guys like Max Hardcore and Jim Black (I think that's his name) from Extreme Associates, and the freedom of putting anything you want on the internet. They push the limits of what is acceptable and the girls perform to these limits. If the limits were as great back in the 80's, the girls would have performed them then also.

Remember porn is porn. Don't glamourize it cause was back in the 80's. It's all about making a buck by selling what the consumer wants to see. If the girls back then could make more money doing nastier things they could and would have.

Right but if you brought some 80s porn star in a time machine to 2005 without going through the progression that porn went through, it would be a pretty big shock to her system and she might just say the hell with it, this isn't worth it. That is my only point.

If Christy Canyon, et al. were working today they wouldn't be 80s porn stars. I took the question to mean what would happen if we brought them straight to the current day from the 80s.

They would go to Vivid.

I agree with A&J on this one :thumbsup:

Yes, plastic surgery has gone middle class and implants are as common in porn as dye job blondes. The anatomy has changed. The girls are 100% better looking now, surgery or not. (I remember getting my girlfriend to shave back in '95 or so - she read an article a few weeks later in a woman's magazine stating that shaving was a mans "little girl" fantasy. Now, of course, magazines regularly feature articles and products for intimate shaving. BTW The shaving phenom imo came from higher quality film and printing, creating a desire from the consumer to see more "detail" and better perceived hygiene bwtween the legs...)

They may not be on steriods, but I think that the desperation (IMO!) of those drawn into porn performance has increased. I think that much of the rough edge (rougher sex and amateur productions) comes from the cheapness of productions. The 80's were the last stand of filmed productions, and we all know the high costs and low error tolerances of shooting on film. Video brought porn into the home and into the hands of any rueb who could buy a Hi8 (then)-DVC (now) camcorder.

I do think that the swell of amateur and hardercore stuff today is as much a reaction to the mainstreaming of porn as anything else. What wasn't shown then is mainstream now. Unfortunetly (imo), some plainly stated sickos, need harder and harder. They will, mark my words, ruin it for the rest of us "normal, straight porn" fans, with their boarderline psychotic desires.

Those changes to a females anatomy are cosmetic. I was refering to functional changes. There have been no physical changes that wouldn't have allowed Ginger Lynn to perform a double anal is the point I was trying to make there.

Would she have performed one? If it was an accepted practice back then...and for the right price, I think many of the 80's stars would have.

:rofl: :thumbsup: Funniest way of saying it I've heard in a long time!

 

[duke4got]

The only one I could think of that would probable do today is Vanessa del Rio. Not to much on the attractive side ( even those I would fuck her ). I seen her in the late 70 and most of the 80's doing thing I didn't believe exist at the time. She did fisting, double dong and ass fucking while having a enama. Use dildos that was a size of torpedos in both holes. Had guys and girls with strap-on fuck her in the same hole. Ass and pussy.

Sex is timeless. Only certain aspects have "fashionable" trends associated with them, e.g. shaved, trimmed pubic hair, hair styles, eyebrows (plucked or not), etc. As far as anatomical comparisons, certainly the '80s pornstars could and did do what today's stars do. DPs and TPs etc. were done back then (while in a less accepted minority of scenes), as were facials (not sure where A&J's comment came from...PRIVATE has been the facial/oral leader for ages, even 20-30 years ago).

Sure, the '80s stars could "hack it" today, but our expectations of appreance/style/beauty overall have definitely changed. They always will.

Anyone remember looking at Playboy or even Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issues back then? LOL! To me now, they're LAME as hell and not very attractive at all. But....

Times change. People change. Fashions change. :2 cents:

(not sure where A&J's comment came from...PRIVATE has been the facial/oral leader for ages, even 20-30 years ago).

There was a long period in the 80's where facials were the exception, not the rule, in mainstream American porn. Private wasn't even on the radar in America until the 90's. And it was because they had facials, and anals that they took off in the states. They offered something that American porn wasn't giving it's customers.

 

[member2686]

I wasn't aware that the question was USA-specific. I guess I missed something...??? I thought it was specific only to the 1980s. Maybe my tastes in porn/erotica are more global than others' here in the USA, since I've never limited myself only to the old American standards/workhorses (Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, Cheri, Swank, etc.)

In any event, porn of all sorts has been around for ages, and always will be. Only people's enlightenment and experimentation into the evolution of sexuality carries us/porn further along. Hell, I can remember when showing labia was COMPLETELY TABOO in American skin mags. Now, even lame-ass Playboy shows labia!!! One day, maybe they'll be porn again. For now, they're back to the 1950s in my eyes. BORING. lol

Well, anyway, sorry if I misunderstood the question. In re-reading it several times, I still don't see anything about the USA only, but whatever! Cheers!! :glugglug:

[floridaguy75200]

classic stars are the best
Christy Canyon
raquel darrian
savanna
Ginger Lynn
Amber Lynn
barbare dare
Buffy Davis

 

[RogueWolf]

I agree with you on Buffy Davis Floridaguy...but Christy Canyon? She would never hack it today. She wouldn't do anals/facials...2 things that most all women do now... At least I sure don't remember her doing those...and I saw plenty of her movies.

 

[Member2019]

I don't even want to think about the pornstars of the '80s getting raped into what they were not by trying to reach today's "requirements." There's a damn good reason I still scour alt.binaries.multimedia.erotica.pornstars.80s (or similar) for stuff that is "new" to me.

Of the few late '30s/early '40s women from the '80s still doing porn, they have changed little. Thank God, there's something to be said for not changing who you are.

I love the 80s style of porn.... The only thing that was wrong was that the scenes were sometimes too short. But it least it seemed like the people were actually into the lovemaking. As opposed to today when it's so formulistic it's boring: 2 minutes 37 seconds blowjob, 2 minutes 37 seconds pussy-eating, 2 minutes 37 seconds reverse cowgirl, 2 minutes 37 seconds anal, and a sloppy facial, and if you're lucky, one kiss somewhere in between when changing positions.

Of course, because typically there were only 1-2 cameras and they didn't stop much action.

But it least it seemed like the people were actually into the lovemaking.

Now that's a BIG ROGER there!
Porn today is too much "fuck" and not enough "love."

As opposed to today when it's so formulistic it's boring: 2 minutes 37 seconds blowjob, 2 minutes 37 seconds pussy-eating, 2 minutes 37 seconds reverse cowgirl, 2 minutes 37 seconds anal, and a sloppy facial, and if you're lucky, one kiss somewhere in between when changing positions.

Once again, BIG ROGER there!
It's multiple cameras, with still cameras, all choreographed, fluffers, etc...
I could probably deal with being a mainstream male pornstar in the '80s and early '90s, but definitely NOT mainstream in the late '90s on-ward.

Rachel Ryan would definitely hack it. She loved interracial and anal.
