In the world of vintage porn, viewers on Pornhub mostly searched for the 1980’s. the 1980’s are by far the most popular decade with only half the volume showing up for the next most popular decade, which is the 1990’s.
After the 1980’s and the 1990’s the next most popular decade is the 1970’s.
If the Golden Age of Porn represents the period from 1969 – 1984 (check it out on the wiki here) and the 1980’s is the most popular decade, that implies we’re all caught up in the Ron Jeremy, Tracey Adams (one of our personal favorite stars) Bambi Woods Peter North era.
Interestingly this does not include the Jenna Jameson period and the enormous impact of silicone breasts. In 1982 breast implants were gaining some notoriety because of adverse events in the medical literature. It wasn’t until the 1990’s that they were declared safer.
A person who was ten in 1985 is around fifty now. So, if it is the 55-and-over set that are watching this, one presumes it was the group were about fifteen years old when the films came out.
That probably sheds a bit more light as to why they are flocking to the internet to watch the good old porn now.
