Can I get X-rated films on Netflix?

“Can I get X-rated films on Netflix?”

It depends on what era they are from.

X-rated used to mean an entirely different thing.

(kind of like our PG rating now)

For example, the (now) G rated The Black Cat was originally X.

This was some years before porn was popular. The

closest to anything considered porn was what they called

Grindhouse.

These were films that would travel, much like circuses

of the time, on tours and play in a variety of locations,

mostly Burlesque venues.

The infamous REEFER MADNESS was such a film.

Grindhouse included possible toplessness

from stripper shorts and “nudies” which were films from

nudist colony's.

Now, that was all after a Presbyterian elder and some pals

got The Hay’s Code installed.

ANTES disso, era comum ver orgias, toplessness,

e até mesmo nudez, (geralmente de raparigas escravas) em grandes filmes,

filmes religiosos, estrelados por actores reais e filmados por realizadores reais como

p>Otto Preminger e Cecil B. Demille.

alguns destes filmes PODEM acabar em Netflix. Mas eles seriam

p>domésticos pelos padrões de hoje.

Então, NÃO. Nada de X real na Netflix, mas, se ainda estiver disponível, você pode

catch SENSE 8, que é bastante erótico.

Por sinal, depois do Hay's Code, por um curto período, X significava impróprio para crianças. (geralmente por causa de imagens "assustadoras". Hoje em dia alguns comerciais são mais assustadores do que qualquer coisa da época)

Existia uma indústria de pornografia subterrânea (muito pequena pelos padrões modernos)

e eles diferenciavam as suas coisas com XXX.

The triple X lasted a bit but got dropped sometime in the 70’s.

This was a fascinating read, if you want to know more about the

Grindhouse era and how porn became mainstream.
