Last night we unearthed a mountain of retro Viv Thomas porn from the 80s/90s here in the office. We found folders of Viv’s early career work in South Africa, including this medium-format set of Louise Freeman shot in 1981 and published in Mayfair Magazine, the first set Viv ever sold to the Paul Raymond Organization. Of course almost 30 years later we still have a great relationship with PRO, having collaborated on movies, pictures, websites and various other things over the years, including the odd pint or two in Soho’s finest watering holes.
We also found tapes of early work shot by Viv, his pre-Spunk pre-Stern cameraman John Chalk, and even Lindsay Honey AKA Ben Dover, who shot Viv’s infamous foot movie Every Woman Has A Foot Fantasy. All very interesting and these things will make great additions to the Blasts From The Past Section of our website.
We also found some very interesting early pictures of Avril Mouton AKA Marylin Mouton AKA Avril!
If like me you were a child of the 80s you will have noticed a slight change in porn over the years.
I clearly remember watching my first porno movie, a dodgy ninth-generation das pornograph VHS stolen from my friends dad, complete with dubbed moans and a terrible English voice-over spoken in a thick German accent.
I wish I could put a clip up, truly. That thing lasted me for years, in the end the tape snapped so I was forced to speak with real girls in some vein hope that one day I would be invited around to fix the shower and her twin sister would be undressing in the bathroom, then both girls would suddenly need sex. Isn’t that how it normally happens?
The girls were so ropey though, really just not something fantasies are made of. Perhaps my memory is skewed because of ‘the now,’ but I remember them all looking like middle-aged housewives on crack, with knotted cotton-wool pubic patches, saggy boobs and long dehydrated nipples which had been siphoned so much by her bastard children that they resembled two scorched babies dummies. And the guys, well I won’t bother to go there.
Anyway it’s a big change to modern-day porn where not only could the girls run in a Miss World contest but is high-quality, and available on digital versatile disk or download. Of course I still get my porn from the Mr. Softy ice-cream man who comes around every Friday, he’s got a side-line in ‘adult art’ and he’s got the lot.
