Porn chic

The term "porn chic" was first used in the early 1970s to describe the wave of pornographic movies like Behind the Green Door, Debbie Does Dallas, Deep Throat, The Devil in Miss Jones, and Score that appeared in mainstream moviehouses for the first time. For a period of two or three years it was fashionable to watch and discuss such films.

More recently, "porn chic" has been used to refer to the use of imagery from pornography in popular culture, such as advertising, music videos, and cable television. Adult models and actresses are routinely interviewed on radio and appear on "The Howard Stern Show." As a result, such actresses, as well as a few actors such as Ron Jeremy, have received increased exposure. In the 1990s it became common for mainstream Hollywood actors to date adult video stars. In some cases, private videos subsequently made by them were discovered and later sold over the Internet.
