Chronology of adult videos in Japan In Japan, Adult Videos (Japanese: アダルトビデオ , Hepburn: Adaruto Bideo ) (AV) are a genre of pornographic movies distinguishable from pink films on the one hand, and 'V-cinema' or original video Original Videos (オリジナル・ビデオ , Orijinaru Bideo ) (OV) on the other. Adult videos are focused on sex, and may not in some cases have a storyline. They are released initially on video, and pass inspection by an adult video ethics committee such as Nihon Ethics of Video Association (映像倫理機構 , Eizōrin Rinri Kikō ) (NEVA), which enforces the placement of video-masking mosaics over pubic hair or genitalia. Pink films may be concerned with sex, but tend to focus more on story, and they are rated by Eirin (映画倫理管理委員会 , Eiga Rinri Kanri Iinkai ) , rather than an adult video ethics organization. The mainstream studio Nikkatsu focused on pink films through its Roman Porno line from 1971 through 1988. V-cinema or OV also tend to focus on a story, but sex if present is less central, and they are released on video to be displayed in video stores or rental shops alongside mainstream movies. Many V-cinema works are produced by video-focused subsidiaries of the big film studios, e.g. SHV Cinema for Shochiku. OV can be rated by the Eirin or Eizourin depending on the content.

Feminist pornography Feminist pornography refers to a genre of film developed by and/or for those dedicated to gender equality. It was created for the purposes of encouraging women and their self-beliefs of freedom through sexuality, equality and pleasure. Many third-wave feminists are open to seeking freedom and rights of sexual equality through entering the adult entertainment workforce. Second-wave feminists, contrarily, often have a solidified belief that the oppression and/or sexual objectification of women is inherent to all pornography involving them. The conflict between the two waves causes many struggles between these two different feminist views.
