Antique porn

Not sure if this is the correct forum, so Mods, feel free to move it.

Now, I am not a frequent viewer of porn and when I get into the mood, I find that the older variety are far more stimulating. My personal favorite of late are photos from the late 1800's to the 1920's although anything up to the early 1980's seems more enjoyable and entertaining. Rather than having "fake" women laying around spreading themselves open, these pictures often are more creative. Women will be sitting in big dresses with the hem up so you can see her old timie undies. Women will actually cover themselves and look impishly at the camera and then in the next shot remove her hand. They actually pose for pictures in a more artistic way, in my opinion.

I really like the old clothing styles of the time. I also enjoy seeing the old furniture and cars that are often in these shots. On more than one occasion I have seen a nude women kneeling on a chair and the first (ok a close second) thing I notice is hey, that is a cool looking chair, or whatever furniture is in the background. Some shots can be fairly elaborate, such as a few recreating an ancient Egypt bathhouse or a similar type scene.

Another thing I like about these is the women are often voluptuous. They look far better and more healthy than the current supermodel thin women these days. And while some definitely do not fall under the "attractive" catagory, most I have seen would, just like the modern stuff, to each their own.

I have seen only a few examples of the "hard core" stuff, but they do not get as up close as modern porn which is another aspect I like. Also, I have not seen any of the old movies and have not found anyplace that sells them. Unfortunately these older types of erotica appear to be difficult to find.

Yes, I'm sure you'll find porn movies from the late 1800's quite rare

I've seen some of the early 1900's porn. I have a video a friend made for me filled with this stuff. There was a common theme running through these of "peeping". Guys watching women in the bathroom through the keyhole. Another guy watching women running about naked on the beach through a knothole in the fence. Stuff like that.

There was one that had the use of a strap-on. Another (the one with the girls on the beach) that implied beastialty with a goat.

I found most of the movies to not be very arousing because the people moved like the Keystone Cops.

It's interesting to watch. It also makes you realize after the camera was invented the first thing people thought of "hey, get a picture of her ass"

I'm also a big fan of antique porn, but I find 1940's and 50's to be my personal favorite time range. I love, love, love Bettie Page. I just find the women more attractive to look at in these pictures. They're all pretty much healthy and curvaceous, with no silicone or airbrushing.


Ok, so I'm a girl who likes to look at real girls, not airbrushed-idealized crap.


Again, check out Stoid's website. Her site is super-cool.

Hmm. I actually understood the title to be a variation on http://www.furnitureporn.com and referring either to people who are sexually aroused by the naked wooden legs of Louis XV tables, and/or Chinese porcelain dildos dating from the Ming era...
