  • That’s interesting. Does that mean that something like Monster Girls anime is acceptable for big-screen cinema, because it includes enough fantasy elements (and exotic body parts) to be considered artistic? It’s still very much “intended to arouse”, does the movie need to match both criteria to be considered porn?

    That’s a recent quote, appearing around 2010 I think.
    People in the 70’s were actually performing quite well in their porn, the film rolls were expensive, the morals were still very much conservative, and they were calling it ‘art’ and hiring big name Hollywood actors.
    The most expensive porn movie ever is Caligula, with a budget of $17.5 million, and it was released in 1979. Cheap porn is a recent trend, because, well, no jerking off in the cinema, so the distribution is limited to streaming, plus porn was customarily pirated for a long long period, and not much protected by courts.
