Home - Porn - The Best 80s Porn: Movies & Porn Stars From The 1980s
Looking for the best porn from the 1980s?
With the earlier part of the 1980s seeing the end of the “Golden Age of Porn” and the latter part heralding a major change in filming styles and content, 80s porn has a very distinct feel of its own.
The decade saw the rise of popular porn stars like Tracey Adams, Traci Lords and Ginger Lynn, as well as 80s male porn legends John Holmes and Ron Jeremy. Some of the action can seem cheesy and slapstick compared to modern porn, and ‘big hair’ was certainly the norm – everywhere! But if you’re feeling nostalgic for the 80s, we’ve got the perfect compilation for you…
In this guide, we talk you through the 1980s Porn Scene from its style, producers and studios to the top porn stars and films of the period.
Want to browse the best collection of 1980s porn? – We recommend Adult Empire Unlimited . It’s home to over 1600 of the decade’s hottest adult movies featuring the hottest 80s porn stars.
AdultTime #1 Porn Streaming Subscription in 2022
Who needs Netflix & Chill ? AdultTime is the "red pill" way to find & stream high quality porn.
Any adult content released between 1 January 1980 and 31 st December 1989 can be referred to as 80s porn although some adult content released in the early 1990s may have been filmed during this period.
As a style, it is often referred to as retro (or classic) vintage porn and has typically been produced in either the United States (notably in either San Fernando Valley and New York) or in European porn studios like Private, Video Art Holland and Dorcel.
Primarily using cameras to film the action from a traditional third-person perspective, the style is very much ‘of the period’ and is similar to the kinds of Hollywood movies being produced at the time.
Whilst ‘gonzo porn’ ( POV/voyeur-style ) was being experimented with in Japan, it wouldn’t become a format of choice for mainstream studios until the early 1990s.
Early porn from this decade may have been filmed on 35mm video cameras that required a laborious setting up process . This meant that scenes would need to be filmed over and a single-take scene was almost impossible. Increasingly, as the 80s went on, movies were being shot more quickly and with greater agility for action shots.
Until the late 1970s, if you wanted to watch pornographic films you had to go to a blue movie theater but with advances in technology introducing affordable home VCRs, the 1980s also saw a huge increase in demand for video content.
As a style, 1980s porn pretty much sets the standard when it comes to our expectations of those stereotypes we think of when we imagine porn. With instrumental and seedy sounding soundtracks overlaid with muffled grunts and moans, the lighting is often subdued and atmospheric with the quality of the shots (however hardcore) being less ‘obscured’ than in earlier films of this genre.
However, there can sometimes be less genital action than current standards set. Part of the reason for this is the abundance of pubic hair that was fashionable at the time! We did say big hair was a 1980s thing and this extends to the men’s chest hair as well as the mullets, mustaches and bouffant ‘dos’ sported by the ladies.
Either way, even the close-up shots of full penetration are far less extreme than the hardcore scenes that were to follow in the 1990s and beyond.
Of course, early films of the period were not shot with the same flexibility of camera position that is common today. POV (point-of-view) for instance, although invented by Hitchcock in the 1930s, was virtually impossible to achieve on the low budgets available to directors of porn movies from the eighties.
With the 1980s bridging two periods of porn production (The Golden Age and the Retro/Classic Age), we thought we’d give a little historical background to the industries.
Prior to the technological advancements that the 1980s offered the home video markets, porn producers in the 1970s and earlier were focused on creating content that would be played to movie theaters.
This meant that there was a more limited demand for material as well as the obvious necessity to create content that was mainstream. Films had to be shown to have a strong narrative in order to be played in cinemas so the sex really took a back seat.
Known as the Golden Age of Porn, movies made for the theater were generally filmed with a big budget and had to comply with strict obscenity laws. Movies made in the early part of this decade, particularly by established directors, were still adhering to the ‘porno chic’ genre of the 1970s.
However, with VHS (private viewing) and mail order video growing in appeal, producers and studios were at liberty to create content that was more niche.
The result was a greater mass production of fetish videos or mainstream movies that had a fetish appeal. In fact, porn production rates for all kinds of films were pushed through the roof at the start of the decade and studios could hardly keep up with the demand for new titles including fresh faced newcomers as well as firm fan favorites. New directors emerged on the scene who were experimental with new filming techniques (eg gonzo) and new genres began to emerge including alt-porn.
With demand rising, films were increasingly being made on smaller budgets with shorter timescales and with a rising ‘openly gratuitous’ feel to them. With their films going straight to home release and there being no need for a strong narrative, dialog and plot took a backseat to the main action.
You can see this increase in production rates when you check out sites like the Internet Adult Film Database . Compared to the 1970s, as the eighties progresses, the number of titles rises at an almost exponential rate.
Of course, this technological advancement in cheap and easy filming saw the beginning of another huge change in the porn industry. Though it would be a few decades before the real impact was felt, home video recording was now a possibility and amateur movies also began to flourish in this decade.
However, there was to be a fly in the ointment of this rise in porn production in the form of HIV/AIDS. Though the first cases of the virus were reported in the USA in 1981, the story being peddled by the media and which was believed by the public was that HIV was a ‘gay disease’.
Safe sex campaigns and general awareness began to grow yet the porn industry was largely closed off to the brewing crisis.
However, an outbreak of the virus in the mid-80s saw many big names leave the industry and production rates did slow as a result. According to some reports, more than 25 porn stars died as a result of HIV/AIDS during the 80s including the screen legend John Holmes (1988).

You can’t have a porn scene without the stars and whilst the names of the films themselves might elude you sometimes, most of us will remember the names of our favorite performers.
So, what were the names on everyone’s lips in the 1980s when it came to which VHS to purchase?
Anyone over the age of 40 will probably be familiar with the female porn stars of the 1980s; some in an intimate and nostalgic way. Yet, even millennials will probably know some of the big names of this decade including the notorious Traci Lords , the infamous Cicciolina and the legendary Bambi Woods .
Of course, there are dozens more that you can probably think of an far too many to list here. However, we’ve handpicked some of the biggest names in the adult film industry from the 1980s, each chosen for their own distinct styles, infamy and notoriety.
Have we missed your favorite female porn star of the 1980s? Drop us a comment and tell us who you think should have made the cut.
Working through the mid-1980s and into the 1990s, Tracey Adams appeared in over 300 porn films during her career and also directed a handful of movies.
Unusually for a working porn actor of the time, Adams was also credited in some mainstream movies including Wimps (1986) and Enrapture (1987).
Now retired and living in Hollywood, she was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 1995 and the XRCO Hall of Fame in 2000.
Her best work was in the movie Pretty Peaches Part 2 for which she won an XRCO Award for Best Copulation Scene (1988).
Juliet Anderson was a late starter in the porn film industry, only getting into blue movies at the age of 39 in 1977. During the 1980s, she was a mature performer and she was known for her sex-hungry and giddy on-screen persona ‘Aunt Peg’. She was stuck with this nickname following a scene she filmed for a Swedish Erotica series in which she had sex with her ‘niece’.
Bringing a touch of class mixed with a splash of vaudeville, ‘Aunt Peg’ is known for never faking an orgasm during her career. She was clearly someone who loved her work and she contributed to the industry both on screen and off. She was also a mentor to one of the other 80s porn stars on our list, Nina Hartley, whom remained a close friend up to Anderson’s death in 2010.
Starring in more than 70 adult films, Anderson took a break from her porn career in 1987 when she decided to focus on massage and relationship counselling. However, she returned to the industry in the mid-1990s as a performer, director and producer.
She was awarded an honorary Doctor of the Arts in 2007 by the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality and has been inducted into the Halls of Fame at both AVN and XRCO.
She features in some great oral scenes but it would be rude not to check her out in her eponymous role of Aunt Peg:
Performing in over 100 porn movies during the 1980s and 1990s, Christy Canyon has turned her back on the industry three times; each time she has returned to the fold.
Her first stint in the adult movie business was in 1984 when she made her debut with Ron Jeremy in Swedish Erotica 57 . She continued working with Jeremy throughout her career and remains a close friend.
Her second stint was 1989 to 1992 and then she went back in front of the camera between 1995 and 1997. Though now retired from screen she still works in the industry as a host for Vivid Radio and promoting her back catalog of work through the Christy Canyon website .
She has won several industry awards including Fan Favorite and Best Female performer plus she has been inducted into the halls of fame at both AVN and XRCO.
