@MLindell7 @varindeus I watched it with my first boyfriend but we were teenagers and it seemed to be the norm. This was in the 1980s. I had no interest in it really and have never watched it since. An ex used to watch it when I fell asleep, I only found out when I got the TV bill.
@MLindell7 @varindeus And when I was about 30 or so, we went back to a friend's house after going clubbing and he put some on. I was not very impressed and I just got up and went home. Weird thing to do.
@geri115 @MLindell7 @varindeus There was this weird thing at clubs when I was in my 20s where they showed porn on a screen. We were terrified of being called prudes, so just put up with it In retrospect, WTAF?
@Pofforol @geri115 @MLindell7 @varindeus I remember that well. Back in the late 90s I'd go to Industrial/80s and Goth nights at clubs, and there were always snipets of porn on projection screens. I was never comfortable with it, and I'm sure I wasn't the only woman who was, but no one ever said anything. Just how it was
@AnnieSpacey @Pofforol @MLindell7 @varindeus I used to go to those kind of clubs in the early-mid 90s and they didn't have that then, not that I recall anyway. Late 90s was more of a sexist time though, with the rise of lad culture.
@geri115 @Pofforol @MLindell7 @varindeus Mid to late 90s was also the time when porn actors, mainly actresses, started getting mainstream attention. Jenna Jameson was a huge "star" and people were paying $50 a pop to watch the AVN Awards on pay-per-view. Crazy times those were
@AnnieSpacey @Pofforol @MLindell7 @varindeus We were talking about favourite actors at work once and the bloke I shared my office with said "You won't have heard of mine - it's Jenna Jameson." I had to look her up.
@geri115 @Pofforol @MLindell7 @varindeus Ugh...geez 🥴
@AnnieSpacey @Pofforol @MLindell7 @varindeus He also had photos of topless women on the wall. It wouldn't be allowed now.
@AnnieSpacey @Pofforol @MLindell7 @varindeus Yep! He had to take them down if we had visitors but other than that it was just accepted.
