Vintage Pornstars from the 1980s

While porn may have really started gaining mainstream in the 70s, the 80s brought some of the most admired stars in the adult entertainment industry. If you’ve never taken a peek at the past when it comes to porn, the 80s was a great decade to start your historical adventure in porn cum experiences especially if you love blonde bombshells! This era gave us the porn foundation that modern porn takes from today!

This was the time where porn became readily accessible through the VCR. Back in the 1980s, one could buy or rent XXX flicks and watch them in bed. It also became a lot less expensive to create porn films, which meant that the amount of porn available was way more than the previous decades. One of the only downsides to porn during the 1980s was the quality of the movies but besides that, there were a lot of cheesy additions during this decade that are still being used in the porn industry. Some examples of this are elevator music, the big wild hair, and the cheesy dialogue. The 80s, as well as every decade prior, was known for porn stars having a lot of pubic hair. Additionally, the actresses in the industry were all natural and breasts were not augmented.

1980s Styles in Porn

Every decade there are fashion trends that tend to show up across every industry including porn. I mean if you’re going to be decadent why not do so if you’re a pornstar?! This is definitely the case with porn stars of the 80s. Some of these fashion statements may have come and left and others may pop up in the future. Here are a few that really caught Mr. Porn Geek’s eyes.

The wedding dress was made as a pop cultural symbol that one would wear no matter what one was doing. Porn actresses dressed up in a cute wedding dress and put on some casual accessories to dress it down and then played different roles that lead to some pretty amazing sex scenes. I believe that this was just a fad that has slowly gone away and will never return but time will tell.

Plaid was definitely a style choice, mainly of male pornstars. Plaid still exists in fashion these days but it’s not as prominent.

Off-color floral patterns are more than just for couch cushions and in the 80s, porn actresses wore it in various kinds of ways. Floral has continued to sprinkle into fashion in modern times but it doesn’t appear in porn so much.
