Why the fascination with vintage porn?
Many reasons!
First and foremost... it's so real. So genuine. Not artificial and fabricated like a lot of the porn you see today. As you can tell from the reviews on this site, we obviously love porn. But we're also highly picky about the porn that gets us off! There are so many factors involved in what makes a porn good. The quality of the imagery and video/photo. The action. The sound. The scenario. But most of all, the guys.
But just because the guys are the most important when it comes to what makes porn hot, that doesn't in the least mean that's all that matters. We've all seen those porn movies and sites - super duper hot guys in crappy dappy movies! BLAH! It sucks so bad when some amazingly hot guy is wasted in some stinky flick. It seems that almost every piece of vintage porn we come across - and when we say "vintage gay porn" we mean porn from the early 80s and before (hey, we're young, lotsa things are vintage to us! haha) - has amazingly hot guys in it. Hot faces. Hot bodies. Hot (and usually huge!) cocks.
What makes them so hot besides just their looks are how real and genuine they seem. Not made up boys or anything like that. Just normal guys graced with amazing looks, sharing themselves with us. We can't help but think about all that went in to these vintage gay porns, especially the older ones. How'd they find that model? How did they get him to agree to get naked on camera? What went in to that photoshoot or magazine printing? Who published it? Who distributed it? How careful did they have to be about it all? When porn wasn't nearly as widespread as it is today, just how did you get guys willing to do it?! It wasn't like today, when you can go in to any gay club in the world and find a billion boys ready to strip on cam for cash. Remember that back in the day, things were a lot more underground. Guys were a lot more closeted. Things had to be so much more discreet and on the downlow. Which makes the fact that these guys all found eachother and committed something so taboo and secret as gay porn and erotica all the more exciting!
The fact that it was so secret and on the downlow comes across in how a lot of vintage erotica might appear almost comical to people today. The loincloth posing straps. The "physique pictorials". The bodybuilding poses. But really now... were aspiring bodybuilders checking out these magazines? Innocent admiration of the male body? No! It was erotic. It was sexual. It was porn! Artful, classy, often tasteful... but porn!
Genuine. Real. We say those words over and over 'cause they're apply perfectly here. And hot! When you see these old pics and movies, it's like you're being let in on a hidden secret that only we are aware of. That it's so forbidden and special.
When you check out the movies and pictures in RetroGoo, let your imagination run wild. It can add so much more excitement to it on top of just how hot it is to look at. Imagine the scenario that led to this young college boy in the mid 60s being "discovered" by a photographer and agreeing to be one of so few at the time naked and having sex on camera. Imagine how unique and special and exciting it must have been. The lines they were crossing and taboos they were committing. Imagine the kind of sexual energy that must have been present for guys to do what so few people were doing at the time.
We look at every piece of older, vintage, classic gay porn and can't help but imagine what led to that gorgeous young guy (or guys!) buck naked and doing what he's doing in the images we're seeing. And that alone is almost enough to make us bust a nut!
Combine those awesome, fantastic scenarios with the natural, trim, tight, smooth bodies and big, meaty cocks on these boys? That tan they obviously got at the beach instead of some salon? And the hair! That shaggy and shoulder length hair! (Thank goodness that's makin a comeback!!!) It's pure gold!
We hope you get off on vintage gay porn as much as we do. Whether you've loved it for a long time and are thrilled RetroGoo's bringing it to you, or whether you're discovering just how exciting and nut-bustably fantastic it is for the first time.
Now, let's go back in time and shoot some goo!
