Candyflip is correct about BBW being used for longer than most here know and certainly longer than before it became a porn term. I bought my first copy of BBW magazine, which coined the phrase, in the late 80's. It is no exaggeration that my life path changed that day.

Some history gather round. The term was created by the woman who created bbw pantyhose, later she started a magazine named dimensions. She trademarked the term and when she sold the magazine the trademark went with it. Be grateful he never decided to exercise it.
