When everything started from Budapest.
ALL OF A SUDDEN: BEAUTY
The fall of the iron curtain at the beginning of the Nineties had a blossoming effect on the Western porn industry, respectively on the sex industry on the whole. For the fist time the porn industry in the US and Europe could decorate itself with women who were so beautiful they could compare with models. Not only one or two of them, but beauties galore. Deborah Wells,Angelica Bella or Anita Rinaldi were among the first ones, in a time when pornography was something that not much Western European or American women of such beauty would not have engaged in. I think this had a big impact on Western culture: the beauty of the women was something that helped porn to be faster and more accepted by consumers (certainly also with female consumers).
COLONIZATION
The opening of Eastern Europe and the liberal attitude that especially Hungary showed led to a kind of "colonisation" of the East. Not only the women were used to refresh our sexualities, but also the places in the east. Budapest was so liberal in the beginning of the nineties that you could make a porn movie in a public transport (i.e. the famous scene in the first "Buttwoman"-movie). Italian Director Joe D’Amato could rent the elefants of the Budapest zoo for one of his historical movies and if you wanted a for example a train-station for a movie, some twilighty guy could arrange to empty a whole station of people. Everything was cheap, and everything was allowed.
