Toe Jam, censorship

A censor bar is a black area to cover explicit portions of images. It was frequently used during the 1960s and early 1970s, for example when showing promotional photographs of films outside of adult theaters. This era is also known as the Golden Age of Porn. Today, pixelization, is used as a technique with the same purpose.
