Nora Louise Kuzma a.k.a. Traci Lords was the biggest, hottest, sexiest porn star and and most singularly searing X-rated carnal fixation of Youngman McBeardo’s put-upon puberty years.

It was unbelievably cool, then, when both The Object of Affection and The Objectional Erection turned out to have been born right about the exact same time.

Of course, the scandal of Traci Lords performing in hardcore porn films when she should have been in high-school nearly capsized the entire adult-entertainment industry, but it created a Legend of Lust to endure eternally for the (under)ages.

X-Rated Ambition: The Traci Lords Story, a new UK documentary available from Shocking Videos exposes the dirty truth about Traci (McBeardo’s is self-explanatory). Click for the box cover for the E-cup-normous, up-turned scoops. more…

Porn purists may have scoffed but, like it or not, filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson’s Boogie Nights is Hollywood’s definitive statement of the shadow industry of X-rated cinema throughout the 1970s and early ’80s. It opened in theaters to great critical acclaim on this date in 1997.

Boogie Nights flashily chronicles the rise-and-more-rises of Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg), a naturally gifted cocksman (loosely inspired by legendary loin-wielder John Holmes) who makes it big (and often) in the jizz-biz during the waning days of theatrically-released sex films, just on the cusp of home video.

Burt Reynolds portrays a disco-riffic hardcore director, while Heather Graham and Julianne Moore are indisputably awesome as the frequently naked female talent.
