Happy World Porn Pride Day!
Fifty years ago today, the porn industry was born! On October 21, 1969 the Danish expo "Sex 69" became the first public event bringing together porn producers without threat of arrest — the Scandinavian country was the first in the world to legalize hardcore film. On that day a revolution was born.
Significantly, October 21st is also:
- the birthday of Kim Kardashian (1980 ... and the anniversary of the filming of her infamous birthday sex tape with Ray J (2007)
- the publication of Madonna's infamous Sex book (1992)
These events are all milestones in proud, open explicit sexuality. To celebrate this historic occasion, we're proclaiming October 21st, World Porn Pride Day! The day in which thousands of years of harassment, arrest, shame began to fall.
That's why today, for #WorldPornPride, xHamster is launching a new calendar This Day in Sex History which features some of the great highlights of our sexual liberation. Check it out now! (While we have nearly a hundred events on the calendar so far, we're looking forward to adding more and building on it as time goes on. Leave other dates in the comments, or on social media.)
Vice President Alex Hawkins says the historic date was almost lost, until his team began researching.
"Without Sex 69, xHamster would never exist," says Hawkins. "We must remember these milestones in sexual liberation, because our history is vital and important. If we are not proud of our own history, how can we expect to defend it against religious zealots, NoFappers and anti-porn politicians? We must stand up every October 21 and proclaim that our enjoyment of adult entertainment is vital, healthy and normal. Happy World Porn Pride!"
