With full respect to Ms Daniels I think it predates DVDs. My first sight (and many others I suspect) was an actress by the name of Seka who was shaving in the 70s and possibly earlier. As she tells it she was an early innovator in glamming up porn with good hair and makeup. Shaving was part of an exotic look.
Fair. And it’s true that I haven’t watched all the porn that out there, but it was my first sight of naked pudendum. I’m confident it wasn’t the first ever. But the 60s and 70s were known as big bush era.
I grew up in the '70s and volunteered at the local recycling center, so I had a collection of literally every porn magazine from back then - Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, Oui etc. etc. Multiple copies of each issue. Even weird high-quality stuff that showed actual penetration and cumshots and whatnot (big no-nos with the major publications at the time). Not a single bare bush in all of that stuff.

There’s been pubic hair removal going back to ancient Egypt, through Greece and Rome and into modern times.

But it’s kind of like saying Elvis or The Beatles didn’t invent their signature hair styles.
What Ms. Daniels said [and I agree with] is that a lot of porn stars started shaving around the same time and that filtered into the mainstream.
Again, fair. I haven’t read Ms Daniel’s comments directly. I can fully accept that there was something other than aesthetics driving the change.
