Damn, that’s interesting!

The first adult movie ever made was in 1896. This was during the silent era of films. The French put out the movie and it was called “Le Coucher de la Mariée.“ It was made during the time of silent films. It was shot on a theater set, and featured actress Louise Willy who performs a striptease. In 1897 those naughty French released another naughty silent film called Après le bal, also known as After the Ball. The film’s is a one-minute scene of a servant bathing a woman. The servant helps the woman get undressed while revealing a few layers of clothing, bathing her, and finally covering and drying her with a robe. This is the earliest known film to show simulated nudity. Completely tame by our modern day standards, but 120 years ago it was very scandalous.
