I am a big fan of Ginger Lynn's and have some of her movies from 1983-86. She made 69 films during that time apparently. Although anal sex happened very occasionally (and I mean VERY occasionally) in films, it occured in movies not seen by many people - limited distribution, minor sellers, and performed by people who weren't well known.
Ginger Lynn was one of the first people to be known as a pornstar. Famous to millions, and the first contract girl to work for a company (Vivid Video). She did anal in most of her films, and a few double-penetrations too. The vast vast majority of the viewers would never have seen anal sex before, or even considered the concept of it in a man/woman situation.
You could say Ginger Lynn gave anal sex to the USA, and the USA then gave it to the world. It is performed by god knows how many millions of people all the time now, and is a big part of so many people's lives. I think Ginger Lynn started the ball rolling on this and it caught on worldwide because of her.
What are other people's theories on this? Was Ginger the one who made it mainstream and gave it to the USA and then to the world? What are your views about how this phenomenon took off over the last 25 years - when it wasn't around before that? Is Ginger the one to thank?

Who was it that made anal prolific in movies then? And what was it that made it something that people did at home? I view the 1980's as when it started to become mainstream in society, and she was the one who made it commonplace in films.

How do you measure 'mainstream' and 'commonplace' ? Lot's of behaviours are 'normal' inasmuch as they're statisically predictable eg murder, but in the grander scheme of things they're very much minority activities. I think it would be mistaken to extrapolate societal trends from skin flicks.

You think it's "mainstream in society"?
What percentage of the world's hetero population do you reckon routinely practice (*) anal sex?
I don't know the answer to that question, but I find it very hard to believe that it's "mainstream", which to me would mean, at the very least, a double figure percentage.
* Or is it "practise", I've never learned the difference.

I didnt ever think about , let alone was ever curious about anal sex until I got into the porn industry.
Hell i thought it was something gay blokes did and even then thats what I heard.
I cant even imagine why anal sex suddenly became popular. I think I saw it in ddep throat and had to ask: Is that in her pussy or arse for the amount of pubes that was in the way (yes really)
If I had to guess then i would blame those dastardly romans. Kinky buggers they were.
Americans rarely invent anything. They just probably stole it and made it better. Like they did the lands from the native indians.
Probably the only thing the americans brought to the world (apart from the hot dog) was serial killers.
Ok I cant really take this subject seriously. I'm no expert on it.

It was of course around for milleniums. There are paintings from the Roman era of people doing it. It's just that it's become something in recent years that most guys would like their girlfriend to allow them to do, and it is in pretty much every porn movie you see. There's hardly anyone I know who hasn't done it (male and female), including myself. Although standard sex (pussy sex) is of course the most common thing guys and girls do.
It was quite something for Ginger Lynn in the 1980's to do that - in films that were available in thousands of porn video stores across America. I doubt her family would have been too happy to discover what she did (as she was one of the first 'stars' in the field - if not thee first - but to discover that she was also into being buggered, and filmed, and a million people would see it, I doubt her parents talk to her even now! I read an interview with her once and she said she was happy to have anal sex with her boyfriend because there would be no chance of pregancy (true).

Obviously it was invented some time ago. I should perhaps have asked 'did Ginger Lynn pioneer anal sex'. I still think she did. In the title I have put 'invent' in inverted comma's anyway.

are you suggesting that no-one had ever tried anal sex until 1986 ?
Even to suggest it wasn't in porn before then is outlandish and niave
And Jack, you've just reminded me of the time when me and my (then) girlfriend had just tried anal sex (we were only 18) and I loved it.
Then the next day we saw a mate for a drink and for some reason he spouted of this "fact" that men who want to have anal sex with their girlfriends are actually "gay" (we hadn't mentioned that we had been at it the night before) - quite an awkward drive home as you can imagine.
