A Buffet of 1980s Pornstars - The 80s Ladies of Porn

The 1980s brought us the video era of adult entertainment. 80s pornstars are responsible for bringing adult entertainment into every home with a TV and VCR. These videos turned garage-shop operations into major companies as enterprises such as Vivid Video began distributing hardcore porn worldwide to meet the demand of a consumer that had been deprived of quality adult entertainment for too long.

The 1980s gave us the Lynn girls - Ginger Lynn, Amber Lynn, and Porsche Lynn - with Ginger Lynn becoming the biggest name of the decade and the catalyst behind the explosion of videos in adult stores as well as households across America. Ginger Lynn on the cover of a video box in the 1980s meant huge profits, instant sells, and left the porn consumer demanding more. Ginger Lynn churned out video after video in the 1980s and, in turn, made Vivid the leading supplier of videos in the sex business.

1980s porn completely changed the way adult entertainment was distributed and consumed in the world. No longer did males have to peep thru little holes or go to backrooms or dingy theatres to watch hardcore action. 80s pornstars made it easy for men to jack-off in the privacy of their own home. Horny men of the 1980s would have closets full of porn videos, featuring the likes of Ginger Lynn, Racquel Darrian, Ashlyn Gere, Nina Hartley, Christy Canyon and Victoria Paris.

1980s porn was a beautiful thing to watch. Finally adult entertainment was off the backrooms and made acceptable for everyone to enjoy. 80s pornstars were of a quality never before seen in porn. Incredible bodies like Racquel Darrian, the girl-next-door look of Ginger Lynn, the raw sex appeal of Amber Lynn, the big boobs of Victoria Paris and Christy Canyon gave men a sexy, breathtaking women to fantasize. 1980s porn meant out with the out-of-shape ladies of earlier porn and the introduction to a new standard in the adult industry. 80s pornstars were simply better, hotter, sexier, more uninhibited, and took care of themselves better than their predecessors.

80s pornstars were a mixture of natural beauty and business savvy. 80s pornstars began demanding more money than prior pornstars (with the exception of 70s and 80s legend Seka). The quality of video versus the prior loops meant that 80s pornstars had to have better bodies; video quality could not cover up the flaws of poor lightning in 8mm adult loops. 1980s porn also meant the dissolving of outmoded companies like Swedish Erotica and Caballero Control Corporation. New porn pioneers like Vivid Video had a different way of doing business. 1980s porn companies were run like major corporations.

So if you were going to be able to bang one XXX 80’s porn star from behind, who would it be? We have taken a straw poll around here and only one name came up multiple times. We shouldn’t be surprised, since to this day she is referred to as the best ass in porn. Nina Hartley had a perfect, tear-shaped ass that men (and women) lusted after in movie after movie. A close second was Ginger Lynn. Nina had a bigger ass, but for the lover of tight, smaller asses nothing beat Ginger Lynn in the 1980s. Come to think of it Ginger Lynn was on top of almost every category among 1980s pornstars. Victoria Paris was always hot. Always.
