Has Porn ( Bluefilm ) Been available In Nigeria As Far Back As The 1960's? by sacajawea: 12:11am On May 05, 2023
Trace the history of P*rn watching in Nigeria.

I know that in the 70s, certain places may have had film houses where they watched porn, so I won't really ask about the 70's
By 80s, definitely, you could buy and watch in your house, cassettes and all being available, if you could afford it.
But was there blue film in Lagos and nigeria in the 60s and Early 70s? How did people watch porn in those very early days, Apart from magazines, if they were available even

Mr writer I think the best solution is for you to go out and ask any elderly man or woman in your neighborhood. No go ask your popsy or momsy oo. E get why.

Pornography (in varying forms) is as old as man.

By 1960, there were porn films but only available for Kings and the Elites because Television has not become widely available. The ordinary people used Porn Magazines or go to certain cinemas where Porns are shown on special data e.g 8-10 pm on last Saturdays of the month.

In 1960 Lagos, you could watch porns (strictly in special days and time) in such cinemas like

Pen Cinema, Agege
Casino Cinema, Alagomeji ,Yaba
Denton Street Cinema , Oyingbo, Ebute-metta
Central Cinema, Lagos Street, Ebute-metta (East).


NB: The porn movies of that era were softcore (in forms of a storyline in which a hero/Prince fall in love with a local girl or a girl of high caste elope with a slave/servant and they eventually have sex)

This is what I wanted to confirm!
If they went into Cinemas to watch, at Certain very specific times and all.
I know it must have definitely existed in the 70's , and I know for a certainty this cinema porn survived into the 90's.
Magazines in the 60's was it available even to poor people too, like the very poor?
Cos my investigation and study, wants to draw, connect a dot between very early exposure of most lower class Nigerian males and certain behaviours.
As for the softcore part, softcore story line you mentioned, but full sex scenes from kissing to climax was shown Abi? Just like porn today?

Thank you very much for your response. And if you can answer the above two questions, @ bolded, I will appreciate

Even if Na Konji matter, wey all of us dey, this is a very powerful piece of information that can be helpful in understanding certian part of our modern history, and sociological evolution/development, Lagosians specifically

And even if there were no academic or scholarly angle (or value ) to it, I still genuinely feel that it's a very interesting & exciting Topic, for we we wey dey here

First , we need to understand that societal approval of sexual behaviours and the concepts of morality in general varies from generation to generation and from places to places.

In the Ancient Times, pornography was well approved but largely limited to erotic sculptures and paintings (sometimes around the vicinity of certain temples dedicated to the goddess of fertility) and this continued to the Greeco-Roman era. Sometimes, the Royals and Aristocrats of that era can call on some people (usually slaves) to perform live 'porn' to entertain them and their guests.

Pornography became a little more advanced in the Medieval period. There were special erotic carvings with limbs specially joined to the body . These limbs can be attached to very thin (almost invisible) threads which are then pulled by the 'organizer' to give the impression that the statues' private part is hitting the buttocks of the female counterparts. These
pornographic 'shows' were special produced to entertain the Kings and the Elites

The invention of the printing press and photography made mass production of porn materials available to the masses. They are often displayed at brothels.

In Nigeria of the 1960s, the society frown at open display of sexual acts, thus porn were watched secretly but may be watched by the Elites and Western Educated Heads-of-the families ,who were relatively above criticism by most members of the society. Teenagers caught reading pornographic magazines at school were often expelled.

The 'Blue Films' were shown at Cinemas at Night (8pm-10pm) when it is usually dark and most watchers couldn't be identified.

Yes, the softcore porn films often show the penis been inserted to the vagina and revealed other body parts.

Videos became available in Nigeria in the late 1970s but only few elites could afford them, thus 'Blue films' in VHS only became freely available around 1990.
Even by then, there were many towns in Nigeria where nobody owned T.V with 'Videos' but in Lagos, you could have about 5-10 people per Street who had these electronics.


In the 1980s, many young ladies lost their virginity and many were impregnated when they went to watch films in the apartments of young bachelors that had 'Colour T.V and Videos '


The widespread availability of Smart Phones with internet access has now made porn available to almost everybody with devastating consequences. Almost every undergraduate now watch porns and practice what they watch in these films (including Oral and Anal sex, two/three-somes etc).

If you go to STI clinics in Teaching Hospitals, you will be surprised at the alarming increase in the incidence of Genito-Anal warts and changing pattern of sexually transmitted infections because many people now practice Anal sex, MouthAction and all kinds of deviant sexual 'styles' they watch in Blue Films.

And to make matter worse, even Born-Again Youths have now joined the trend such that it is now very difficult to differentiate Born-Again from non Born-Again

Thank you for your constant feedbacks and inputs.

We're magazines more available, as opposed to Films that were scarce and harder to get?
In the 90's, I kow for a certainty that they were very accessible to get even by the poor and lower class
Was it so In the 70's?

In the 1970s,

1) Most Nigerians were poor and only very small proportions could afford films, let alone Blue Films, so Pornography was more of Magazines than films in the 1970s.

2) The prevailing morality in the 1970s was opposed to display of sexual images or even engaging in sexual relationships outside the wedlock especially in the rural areas. This level of morality was more relaxed in Lagos, Bini, Port-Harcourt because of 'civilization'
