    Screwballs
    Something About Mary
    Bachelor Party

    Sex stuff was probably darker and lower budget then. I'm thinking Up the Creek, Fraternity Vacation or any other D-T-V beach, camping or college titles are as close as you'd get.

    Yeah they don't make them like they used to. I'm guessing is because there is no money in it and comic book movies bought out Hollywood? Or the new skool comedy movies aren't funny?

    The advent of easily accessible p*rn ruined the market for sex comedy.

    Not really. American Pie was successful. I think it has more to do with the fact that Actors and Actresses today think films like these are beneath them.

    Think about it: Sean Penn started off with Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Nick Cage was in that. Tom Cruise did Risky Business. You think, in a million years, you'd see Kristen Stewart is H.O.T.S or Ellen Paige in a Joystick? What about Jake Gyllenhaal in Porky's Revenge. It ain't going to happen.

    Yes, but that was when Sean Penn, Tom Cruise, and Nic Cage were unknowns. Jake Gyllenhaal did Bubble Boy so I'm sure he wouldn't have minded doing a sex comedy when he was getting his start.... BTW Nic Cage would probably still do a sex comedy.

    I don't care much for the genre but here's a list of the more well known ones:

    Flesh Gordon
    Barberella (a bit tame, vey dated)
    Russ Meyer movies
    Alvin Purple
    Percy
    Tinto Brass (basically an unpretentious Bertolucci)
    Carry On movie series
    Maybe a few Blake Edwards movies too.

    These were money makers for midnight cinema places and video stores. Not many of these around anymore.

    I would probably label Teen T&A movies in a sub-genre of their own.

    Pinball Summer aka Pick Up Summer the one that jump started it all up in the 80s more than Meatballs while Porky's gave a shot of steroids for these type of films to be made :(

    Is it worth watching? No.

    NSFW

    I forget the title of the flick but there's one with the dialogue A: "Why do they call her Peanut Butter?". Pause. B: "Because she's so easy to spread". I can't believe someone thought that was worth committing to film.
