Mona The Virgin Nymph
''Mona'' (1970) (also promoted as ''Mona; the Virgin Nymph'') is a sexually explicit adult film that contains a number of unsimulated non-penetrative sex scenes as well as penetrative ones. The film is regarded as the second sexually explicit film to receive a general theatrical release in the United States, after '' Blue Movie'' (1969). Unlike ''Blue Movie'', however, ''Mona'' had a plot, though there was more emphasis on the action. ''Mona'' helped pave the way for other films containing unsimulated sex scenes that later appeared in theaters, during the Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984); and was one of the films of the time on which some later films were based. '' Deep Throat'' (1972), for example, borrowed elements of Mona's plot. ''Mona'' was produced by Bill Osco and directed by Michael Benveniste and Howard Ziehm, though the film was screened without credits due to legal concerns. The earnings from the film, believed to be $2 million, helped finance the directors' later f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Golden Age Of Porn
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Spam-whitelist/Archives/2018/01#Another_Worthy_Journal_Article_on_Wordpress ---> The term "Golden Age of Porn", or "porno chic", refers to a 15-year period (1969–1984) in commercial American pornography, in which sexually explicit films experienced positive attention from mainstream cinemas, movie critics, and the general public. This American period, which had subsequently spread internationally, and that began ''before'' the legalization of pornography in Denmark on July 1, 1969, started on June 12, 1969, with the theatrical release of the film ''Blue Movie'' directed by Andy Warhol, and, somewhat later, with the release of the 1970 film '' Mona'' produced by Bill Osco. These films were the first adult erotic films depicting explicit sex to receive wide theatrical release in the United States. Both influenced the making of films such as 1972's '' Deep Throat'' starring Linda Lovelace and directed by Gerard Damiano, ''Behind the ...

Plot (narrative)
In a literary work, film, or other narrative, the plot is the sequence of events in which each event affects the next one through the principle of cause-and-effect. The causal events of a plot can be thought of as a series of events linked by the connector "and so". Plots can vary from the simple—such as in a traditional ballad—to forming complex interwoven structures, with each part sometimes referred to as a subplot or ''imbroglio''. Plot is similar in meaning to the term ''storyline''. In the narrative sense, the term highlights important points which have consequences within the story, according to American science fiction writer Ansen Dibell. The term ''plot'' can also serve as a verb, referring to either the writer's crafting of a plot (devising and ordering story events), or else to a character's planning of future actions in the story. The term ''plot'', however, in common usage (for example, a "movie plot") can mean a narrative summary or story synopsis, rather th ...

''Blue Movie'' (also known as ''Fuck'') is a 1969 American erotic film written, produced and directed by Andy Warhol. It is the first adult erotic film depicting explicit sex to receive wide theatrical release in the United States, and is regarded as a seminal film in the Golden Age of Porn.
