From the Kama Sutra to Japanese ink paintings in the 19th century to Paris Hilton, porn has a long history in its many forms. One industrious group (a message board for adult industry webmasters) is attempting to put together a timeline of porn and other noteworthy sex-related events. While I’ll admit that this timeline is fairly oriented towards the LA porn scene, it’s still interesting to see what makes the list. I also enjoy that you can see how the evolution of technology is intricately tied to the evolution of sex.
What would you add to this list? I would love to know when big stars such as Jenna Jameson or Chloe made their first movies. Or when the first porn written or directed by a woman was made.
