What was coming across in the small bit to me was this was the first time that kind of explicit porn was being made when very obviously it was not the first time.

The San Francisco scene was driven by consumer-grade 8mm film cameras and stock. The glut of theaters led to mass closings as television became popular entertainment, and some of those empty theatres in places like The Tenderloin and Times Square became repurposed for showing adult films. These were both new means of production and distribution, both to be supplanted in about a decade by videotape and mail-order, then by digital recording and online distribution. Most historians consider the late 1960s to be the birth era of the professionalized American porn film industry, arising from the overlap between subcultures of geeky hobbyists and sex workers. @TombKing: The silent film porn was, at best, a cottage industry using very expensive professional equipment to create work that was not viewed in theatrical release.
