HISTORY OF PORN
Much of the short film clips seen here on Motherless are reminiscent of the Old Projection machine known as the Nickelodeon. Much of the fact that it was used for Porn has been covered up today.
It started by projecting "flipping" stereographic cards as you crank the arm of the machine, after depositing a nickel. As tech developed, a motion picture film loop was later added known as the Kinetoscope.
During the time, they even sung a song about it's use and "addiction" (even though it was hidden in the lyric's intent. The song "Music, Music, Music" sung of how "all I ever want to hear is Music-Music-Music" after putting in "another nickel". There is no known instance of "Nickelodeon" being used - as in the song - to imply a jukebox-like device. So the JOY expressed in the song was for what was SEEN within it. As such, even the Song about it later: Some radio stations refused to play the record because of the thought that the lyric "I'd do anything for you/Anything you'd want me to" might be construed as indecent. However, at the time - before the popularity of the song - "Nickelodeon" in fact referred to a five-cent silent movie theater
The meaning of the word (Nickelodeon) has been muddied ever since. In fact, when it was current in the early 20th century, it was used only to refer to a small five-cent theater and not to any coin-in-the-slot machine, including amusement arcade motion picture viewers such as the Kinetoscope and Mutoscope.
Much of the actual history of porn being shown around the world is being forgotten. Actual machines and stereo cards go into private collections. While Hollywood works to maintain and restore old films, original "Blue movies" dry up and rarely get made into digital.
I write this to hopefully inspire that the segment of that history not be allowed to go Extinct.
