14. WHY ARE PORNOGRAPH­IC FILMS CALLED ‘BLUE MOVIES’?

-

Several views on this. In 1781, a history of Connecticu­t referred to the “blue laws”of the Puritans, which could have prompted the link between blue and sexual behaviour. Others theories are that prostitute­s in jail dressed in blue and some striptease acts had blue lights.
