[edit] History
Pornographic comic books known as Tijuana bibles began appearing in the U.S. in the 1920s.
In the second half of the 20th century, pornography in the United States evolved from the so-called "men's magazines" such as Playboy and Modern Man of the 1950s. These magazines featured nude or semi-nude women, sometimes apparently engaging in the act of masturbation, although their genitals or pubic hair were not actually displayed.
While Playboy remained "softcore", new publications such as Penthouse, began to evolve into more explicit displays (hardcore), eventually, by the 1990s, featuring sexual penetration, lesbianism and homosexuality, group sex, and fetishes.
