Well, you know how grown-ups sometimes like to watch movies or videos to help them feel good or learn something new? In Japan, some grown-ups also like to watch videos that might make them feel good, but these videos are just for adults and show people being intimate with each other.
Now, when we talk about the chronology of adult videos in Japan, we mean the order in which these kinds of videos were made and how they changed over time. So let's start at the beginning.
In the 1960s and 1970s, adult videos in Japan were called "pink films." These were usually low budget movies that were shown in theaters or on TV. They often had a plot and characters, but the main focus was on showing sex scenes. These movies were not very explicit compared to today's videos.
Then, in the 1980s, something called "adult video" or "AV" became more popular. These were videos made specifically for home viewing and were more explicit than the pink films. They usually featured just one or a few actors and focused mainly on showing sex scenes.
In the 1990s, the internet became more widespread and this changed the adult video industry in Japan. It became easier and cheaper to distribute videos online rather than on VHS tapes or DVDs. This also led to the rise of amateur performers who could upload their own videos online.
Today, adult video in Japan is still a big industry, but it has adapted to changing technology and societal norms. Some videos are made in a more professional manner with higher production values, while others are still amateur videos made by regular people. Some videos show more extreme or fetishistic content, while others are more vanilla.
Overall, the chronology of adult videos in Japan reflects the ways in which technology, culture, and societal attitudes towards sex have changed over time.
