What I hoped for from RetroPornArchive was a good selection of classic hits from the 1970s with the kind of cheesy music, big moustaches and gawd-awful settings that remind you of your grandparents' basement. I say 'hoped' because all these negative qualities are what make 70s porn flicks so great.
What I feared from this site was that it would only give you some 'old' videos and pictures from a couple of years ago that are being recycled and repackaged as 'retro' in an attempt to squeeze as much money out of them as possible.
What I didn't expect was that this site would have a completely different concept of 'retro.' The stuff here dates back farther than that the 1970s, some as far back as the early 1900s.
Content is divided into photos and videos, and then further divided into softcore and hardcore. Softcore has the usual solo posing and foreplay, although not in the style you're used to. You'll be surprised by the hardcore content, which has everything from gaping holes to BDSM.
The photos section doesn't have large sets but offers about 35,000 individual photographs. The size varies but they're typically small. Considering how old some of these images are, don't expect high-res quality. All of the pictures are in black and white.
Despite this collection predates the era of video, I counted 790 movies and apparently a new one is added every day. Keeping in mind they're dependent on archival footage, it's a wonder why sites with new material can't offer such a large selection of content or updates as regular as this site gives you.
As with the still photos, most movies are black and white, although there are some colour flicks that look like they were made in the 1950s. The quality isn't up to par with today's technology, but that was expected. They're typically about 10 minutes long. You only have the choice of poor-quality AVI format and downloading takes a while.
With a hundred years of porn history here, you're guaranteed to be intrigued by this truly classis collection of erotic and hardcore material.
