Porn has been around for quite some time now but not many people know that it had also existed in the earliest days of human history. Several researchers had discovered various rock paintings that showed men and women in different sexual positions. While it isn’t porn like we know it today, but it was nevertheless erotic and can be considered to be the beginning of porn.

The oriental manuals of Kama Sutra are considered to be the earliest porn pictures. In India, the temple of Khajuraho had been decorated with numerous sculptures of men and women in different sexual positions. While this might be considered to be odd by many, these figurines have existed since centuries and are even considered to be holy.

Since ancient times the Greeks painted the walls of their brothels with various erotic pictures, many have been discovered at various archeological sites. The earliest porn photos and pictures were mainly made by men and were made for men as well. The images usually depicted back views of other men and women. Lesbian sex photos and paintings were not very common in comparison to male homosexual photos, though it was considered to be a crime in those days.

Postcard porn had been invented in the 1870s and it had been very popular. With the concept of mass production of photographs, these postcards had become very popular and they depicted quite a lot of lewd images.

In the early 1900s more than 20,000,000 naked postcard making a lot of money selling porn to everyday people. Across the globe, people in countries like Japan, US, England, France and Cuba paid large sums to get erotic pictures.

It was in the Victorian era that eroticism really had picked up. The Victorian era was when pornography as we know it today really picked up and became very popular. The noble families then had banned the regular people from watching porn and erotic pictures and had reserved that right only for themselves when they used to make use of erotic pictures to gain pleasure themselves.

It’s perplexing to many people how in the earlier ages when porn was considered to be illegal so many women and men were ready to pose for erotic shots. It is believed that they might have been mainly prostitutes and men and women who were desperately in need of money.

Porn has evolved in many ways since the ancient times and today it is a booming industry. People all over the world have accepted it as a part of their life, and a very important one at that.
