Porn bar is a slang term for a certain variation of a male mustache ( mustache ), characterized by a short-shaven and thin shape.

The term Pornobalken actually comes from the adult film industry and geography. Around the 1970s, this common way of shaving male porn actors was significantly influenced by the porn star John Holmes (English "pornstache" , from "porn star mustache" ).

The term found its way into colloquial language and has meanwhile also been included in the “Dictionary of Youth Language”, which appears in the PONS dictionary program . In the GDR , too , the term “ porn bar” was particularly popular among young people in the 1980s . The term is generally used and understood rather derogatory.
