A couple of years ago, I looked into whether erotic thrillers were indeed dying out or if it was just availability bias due to the fact that the main examples which come to mind are mostly from the 1980s.
Great post and blog in general. If the cause is ease of availability of actual internet porn, then the decline should begin around the time of widespread, fast-enough internet. Any chance you could add data back to 1980 or earlier?
