Reminds me of how comically weird some of the B-movies on that kind of subject were, like back in the 80's especially. Yet somehow even those cheap productions couldn't paint as bleak or shitty of a backdrop as we're seeing now.

Also, I'll have to correct myself. Porn legality went sort of back and forth in the US during the 70's and 80's, but mostly veered towards excessively legal. I mostly just think back to that era because of how extra cheap and shady shit seemed back then. Plus there were a lot of stories about a lot of seedy underground productions/distributions during that era as well.

All of that kind of gave a weird impression of stuff going on beneath the radar as a result of heavy regulation and bans, when in reality, it was because of a lot of other reasons (IE, pre-Internet meant localized distribution which was a lot less profitable for such niche products that were already not popular with the most of the general public).
