Vintage Classic Porn offers a unique collection of smutty photos and videos dating from pre-1920's through the 1980s. From softcore posing and husband and wife couples to hardcore interracial fucking and bondage, the people who lived in times past were just as naughty as us and you can see just how sexy, strange and taboo they really were right here!
Vintage Classic Porn currently has around 117 video clips and 144 photo galleries available, and updates are made at least every other day or so, and sometimes daily. Unlike most sites, the videos and photos here often or even usually do not feature what I would consider a full, complete scene. Many of the photo sets are made up of images that may be correlate in terms of theme like big tits or ebony women, but the images themselves may not be related at all. The videos sometimes end before it seems that the scene is really finished, and some of what's here is so softcore that I hesitate to even call it porn. Overall, things are a bit of a mish-mash, but frankly that's what I would expect from a site that offers materials spanning nearly 100 years!
A lot of the performers here are amateurs, though there are some well known burlesque stars and some 70s and 80s pornstars in the mix. The women range from teens to MILFs and include just about every race and body type I can think of. The materials feature straight fucking, softcore posing, lesbians, interracial fucking, strip teases and burlesque dancers, bondage, kinky doctor/patient fun and so much more. There are even some naughty retro cartoons featuring well known fairly tale characters like Sleeping Beauty. Some of the videos feature nothing but action, but others can have a considerable amount of plot. One freaky flick from the 1970s was all about people with sexual dysfunctions who visit a psychoanalyst for group therapy and end up wearing scary animal masks and fucking to the sounds of wild dogs and cats howling. Another movie from the 1940s had a cheating wife hiding her lover in the closet, then seducing her hubby in bed to give him a chance to escape unnoticed. Unfortunately, the video abruptly ended before I could find out what happened!
When compared to modern XXX videos and photos, the quality at Vintage Classic Porn simply can't compare, but that's not really the point here. Some of the materials are in color, others are black and white and while some of the videos are what I would good VHS type quality, others are so grainy and blurry you can hardly see what's happening. The files are offered at a max of 690x460 pixels, 2000 kbps which means that even though they may not look perfect, they can be enlarged for full screen viewing without losing any more quality in most cases. There is perhaps slightly less variation among the photos, but there is significant variation nonetheless.
The tour pages for Vintage Classic Porn are well designed and I appreciated the vintage style graphics. They give you enough small preview photos and information to get a good idea of the type of materials the site offers, but aside from listing some of the recent updates for the site, they don't offer a lot of solid facts.
Vintage Classic Porn has far better navigation tools than most vintage porn sites I've visited. You can break the materials down by decade or category like bondage, blondes and big tits, and there's even a keyword search box. This makes it fairly easy to find what you want, but the members' area has some other issues that weren't quite so user-friendly.
Perhaps the most irritating problem here is the site's speed. Downloads come at around a fourth of my average, and the streaming videos stop constantly to buffer. Even though the streaming videos are in WMV format, I had to download a special Microsoft browser plugin called Silverlight to play them. Silverlight is free, but I had trouble skipping around within a video even after it was fully buffered, and sometimes the flicks would just stop playing for no apparent reason. Furthermore, when downloading or streaming a video, it's next to impossible to browse the site.
Most of the videos here are offered in either full length only or in full length with an additional option to download or stream the scene in two pieces. All of the videos are in WMV format, and there are three quality levels to choose from for download, though no quality level options are available for the streaming flicks. A convenient ZIP file option is offered for downloading the photo sets, or you can simply view them from within the members' area.
I really like vintage porn sites a lot, although they're rarely without major issues. In many ways, Vintage Classic Porn is ahead of the game with its easy to use search tools and frequent updates. I'd like to see the download speeds increased and maybe a better streaming method for the flicks, but overall, I really enjoyed this retro smut site!
