European hardcore pornography
European hardcore pornography is dominated by a few pan-European producers and distributors, the most notable of which is the Private Media Group. Most European countries also have local pornography producers. Hungary is a haven for European pornography producers with an ample supply of beautiful and young female performers and liberal pornography laws. Women in European pornography typically have a so-called "more natural" look than in American pornography, with less emphasis on breast implants. The once popular style of Euro-chic pornography represented by directors Lasse Braun, Joe d'Amato, and Jean Rollin has lost ground and the Pierre Woodman style of video porn now attracts a larger audience. A few directors like Luca Damiano, Mario Salieri, and Alain Payet continue with the older cinematographic and dramatic styles that often distinguish European pornography from those of other cultures.
Russia is a large producer of pornography, with most of it being filmed in Moscow and St. Petersburg, two largest cities. Much of the pornography is produced for export. Russia (along with the Ukraine) is uniquely positioned in the porn market in that it has Caucasian models and low income levels, allowing to produce relatively cheap pornography outside of ethnic fetishes. The Russian nationality of the models is emphasised by some porn sites, but in other cases the model may be presented as "European", "American" or even "Latina" (e.g. Felicity Fey). Sites that offer predominantly Russian content routinely block access from the Russian segment of the Internet to maintain the privacy of the models. Some studios produce both adult pornography and legal child pornography ("lolita art photography") .
In the UK, British-made pornography tends to focus on a rough-and-ready semi-amateur look rather than the more stylized look of mainland European pornography. Producers such as Ben Dover concentrate on producing "girl-next-door" or "candid" material. Some British pornography concentrates on sexual fetishism, particularly erotic spanking and rubber fetishism. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography_by_country#Europe [Dec 2004]
