If we did a survey on the street, face to face, asking people about their pornography consumption, surely almost no one would accept that they enjoy this type of content. Porn is still taboo for many, and in fact, for entire generations it is something to practically hide under the bed. Today, however, its consumption is much more intense than ever, thanks to the Internet and new technologies, which have allowed this type of content to be taken to a new level. The industry has reinvented itself again and more porn is produced than ever, because the demand is also greater. Although many people do not recognize it, there are hundreds of millions of people who enjoy porn every day. The numbers on platforms like Onlyfans, Pornhub or xVideos don’t lie, so it’s time to put aside the masks and show the true face of desire. Porn has become mainstream today, because now it is very easy to do it anywhere.
A beautiful and daring girl, with no complexes when it comes to showing herself having sex on camera, is capable of making tens of thousands of dollars a month by making her own content. You just need a quality camera and a little knowledge about the Internet, social networks and platforms. However, that does not create an industry, because we are ultimately talking about amateur people who achieve success thanks to the Internet. The great porn industry, where the money really moves, is still in the United States. However, at this point the North American country is no longer the only one capable of elevating this industry to the mainstream. Today people can watch porn from a thousand different countries, and little by little, non-American industries are making their way. In Europe, for example, they have had it easier because there was already an industry in many countries in the 70s and especially the 80s. European porn, very different from American porn, has been growing and evolving until it has become in what we have today, a widely consumed alternative, by Europeans themselves and by those from outside. These are the countries where the most porn is produced in the Old Continent.
France
A country that loves cinema so much could not pass up the opportunity to also create its own pornography industry. Because porn is still cinema, at the end of the day, and even more so in a France where any director is capable of giving magic to images, even when there is only one couple having sex. French porn cinema was already emerging in the 70s, as a further step to the usual erotic cinema that was practiced in the French borders. Titles like Emanuelle or History of O were a shock that showed that porn could also have quality. To this day, France continues to be a reference in the European porn industry thanks to production companies like Dorcel, surely the most powerful on the entire continent today. French actresses and actors have also achieved great success in the industry, working regularly in the United States, despite the language.
Italy
When many think of European porn, their mind travels directly to Italy. The transalpine country was another of those that managed to stand out in the 80s, the era in which porn became popular thanks to video clubs. The Italian productions of those times stood out for their quality, spectacular sound and lighting. And why deny it, Italian women also proved to be true beasts when it came to porn, on par with North American women. Today Italy has lost a bit of steam in film production, but it is still an important place for European porn. In addition, actors of the stature of Rocco Sifreddi or Cicciolina took their first steps in Italian porn cinema, before conquering the entire world with their films. Today, the Italian quarry continues to launch a lot of talent into the world of porn, so it is not surprising that fans have great value in Italian porn.
Ukraine
A relatively young country, but one that has known how to get involved in the technological world from the very beginning. Beyond recent unfortunate events, Ukraine has been a nation that has known how to take advantage of its assets, among them, the beauty of its women, to create an entire erotic and pornographic industry. And Ukrainian girls are really beautiful, and they fit perfectly into the ideal of many men who fall in love with them in every possible way. Ukrainian actresses and models have been appearing in recent times on pages such as Met Art or Hegre, but also on the main international porn production companies. Ukrainian women are the greatest value in this industry, and it is true that porn created in Ukraine has a very special way of being produced, but more and more are falling surrendered to this type of films and productions. Ukraine has become one of the largest epicenters of pornography and eroticism in Europe, and it is no coincidence.
Hungary
Another of the classic countries when it comes to creating pornography, so much so that for many years it has been the place where there have been the most pornstars per inhabitant. It is not something strange, considering that the beauty of Hungarian girls is also more than enough, and their reputation as lovers is notable. Hungarian women have managed to become great porn stars by traveling to the United States, but the majority started in their own country, which has also become the epicenter of European production. And Budapest is a perfect city to shoot porn because there is everything a director could require, and production costs are very cheap. You have apartments to rent, good technical equipment, and of course, actresses capable of giving you the best scene of their lives, no matter what you ask of them. Thus, Hungary, despite all the changes that have occurred in recent years, continues to stand out within the European porn production.
Spain
And we reach the last position on the list, but no less important. Spain already began to stand out in the 80s as one of the countries with the greatest number of erotic productions. Pushed by the newly released freedom after the dictatorship, which had prohibited everything erotic, the Spaniards went to the cinemas to watch badass films. Porn arrived a little later, already in the 80s, with the help of some legendary directors like Jess Franco, a true world star. In the 90s, Barcelona managed to concentrate a large number of producers, actors and actresses, becoming the epicenter of Spanish porn. There were two decades of mass production, adapting to changes, until leading to the current moment. With large production companies like Fakings or very interesting projects like those of Erika Lust, Spain is also a good example of the good porn made in Europe.
