    Are we talking about high fashion models doing runways and magazine shoots for glossy fashion magazines, or are we talking about porn?

    The bodies that you’re talking about weren’t exactly featured in the leading porn magazines or studio films, or even lad mags like Maxim/Stuff/FHM that didn’t do full nudity.

    For porn, erotica, and other risqué content, there’s been significantly less shifts in trends and preferences.

      I’m talking about TV ads, magazine covers. General models (not the super-skinny runway models which don’t necessarily follow typical beauty standards) or porn (which follows its own set of trends I’d say, like over exaggerated bodies, breast implants…).

      I don’t know if it’s the best example but I’m talking generally about the difference between people like Jennifer Aniston in 1997 vs Scarlett Johansson in 2020, for example.

        Well this article and line of comments is specifically about porn and women as objects of sexual desire, that would cause people to want to chat with OnlyFans models. I don’t think that’s changed over the years, if you look at the body types that were featured in Playboy, Hustler, Perfect 10, or lad mags like Maxim, Stuff, FHM, or even things like Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issues. Pretty much across the board, from the 70’s through the 2000’s, these types of magazines featured young women of what I’m assuming are the “in vogue” proportions alluded to in the article. And I assume aren’t that different from things like the Raquel Welch poster featured in the Shawshank Redemption.

        Speaking of posters, the 90’s included Baywatch and Pamela Anderson, who was on a lot more dorm room posters than Jennifer Aniston (who, by the way, wasn’t that far off of what I’m describing as the standard across multiple decades).
