how do we define vintage pornography? : (noun) pornography which was created during the late nineteenth century through to the nineteen fifties. pornography from the sixties is probably best described as late-vintage, with the nineteen seventies and eighties falling into the "classic" era. When people talk of vintage wine, port, champagne etc it's generally understood that they are referring to the wine's quality as much as its age. Can we say the same about vintage pornography. Does the quality shine through? Or is it just very cheap and cheerful wank-fodder, originally produced for an eager yet unsophisticated male audience, many of whom were taught that masturbation was "self abuse" and a fast route to blindness! The technology was clearly inferior to what we have today, and as such the quality of the pictures doesn't come close to what we expect from our modern day pornography. But there's no denying the fact that it was all so much more natural in those days, not only in terms of the bushy pubic and underarm hair, but also in the way the sex was performed. And don't get me started on the womens' tits. They don't make them like that anymore! Variously described as: those women were as randy as fuck, all the beautiful girls had natural tits, they did pornography before my nan was born :)
