While White Coater is sexploitation/Porn, it is an important part of horror history in that they helped the same theaters showing cheap horrors profitable, and also spawned genre directors, such as Sean Cunningham.

Also an interesting legal work around of old obscenity laws.

interestingly, the "white coater" trope was introduced because of a swedish film (according to wikipedia) and hmf's resident swede was the first to make a fuss. :P

also, today gets a new term, or no?

Not a big fan of them, but I would submit the HBO series, Katie Morgan's Sex Tips for your consideration as a modern take.
