Well alright! It seems this smut blog is gaining a little more popularity. There are now six whole people following this blog... Although, only one publicly. Thanks Brody. Fly that flag high!
As promised, this post features some real smut! Tell yer' friends!
Early pornographers broke as many taboos as they could. They also didn't force an unrealistic standard of beauty on you, like now.
The first photographs like this started to show up in France around 1845. They were sold under the table, from opticians, instrument makers, and art dealerships.
In the 1870's they started printing this stuff on postcards, although they were never intended to be sent through the mail, cause all this stuff was against the law!
You were going against mainstream society's values if you were involved in this underground business in any way; buying, selling, or creating..... And the more puritan the societal values.... The harder the whip cracked.
This stuff almost completely died in Germany, as the nazi movement rose to power.
Much of the printed material from this time period has been destroyed by special task forces of the day, appointed to confiscate "obscene" material.
This post features some of the images that still survive.
Were these early pornographers artists? ...Revolutionaries? ... Or just vile pornographers?
Maybe they're a little of each.
Cheers folks ~Stymee
