I think it will be impossible to even try to guess who was the first adult sites on the net, there is just way to much and so many very small people/sites who came and went pretty quick.
We started by running a 4 line BBS back in 1992 (running ProBoard), somewhere around 1995 we was importing usenet to the board using GiGo (garbage in/garbage out) and offering email accounts, we started landofvenus in early summer 1997, but there was so much you never hear about any more like Cu-SeeMe, Iphone and some other video sites, jennicam, lots of people pulling child porn off usenet and making little free sites, and pulling all kinds of crap off usenet and makeing sites. There was tons of small no name webcam sites that just used ispy, which now days would not be called a site but back then was pretty cool.

cu-seeme was great for getting new members, as was usenet..not any more tho. netscape was the only browser for awhile, it was also the only one that worked with streaming video (jpeg push)... But I am pretty sure that the first sites are going to be small no name ones that no one remembers, they were probably free and voyeur or social type sites and making a book or anything else and naming anyone as the first would be an injustice to those.
