"Localised" porn

guntonsplint · October 16th, 2013, 09:09 PM

I was wondering which countries had their own porn industry in the 70s and 80s. For instance USA produced a great deal and I know West Germany had the "sexkomedie" and in Western Europe lots came out of France (and in the 80s Italy). But what about say Spain or the Eastern bloc?
Also Brazil had "pornochanchada" out of the Boca do Lixo area of Sao Paolo but what about other South American countries?
I'd love to know if there were small still untapped local economies.

There was an active production community in Tiajuana, Mexico. Some porn was produced in Toronto, Canada, but until the late 1970s most of it was controlled by New York. You didn't mention Britain, but there was an active community in London.

Most of what got to the U.S. from Europe was out of Sweden and The Netherlands.

I have recently gathered that, whatever else may have been repressed, there was a very active porn community in East Germany.
