Visit Private Classics

Private Classics is home to an archive of digitized versions of pictorials and sample editions of Private magazine. Now you may or may not be aware that this magazine launched in 1965 and was the first hardcore porno mag to be printed in full color. Founded in Sweden by Berth Milton Sr., his son moved their headquarters to Spain in the early '90s, although the company is incorporated in the U.S.

What has grown into a massive distributor of adult content, providing, for example, pay-per-view movies for loads of major hotels around the world, this collection will show you the simple roots of this now global success. PrivateClassics brings you images (no videos) from the '60s, '70s and '80s. In a strange way, although you may expect more conservative spreads, you will find this old-school smut grittier.

When you see the 127 high-res photo galleries, you'll realize how much of what we see now is devoid of any natural appeal because the models are airbrushed and digitally altered to the point of not even appearing human. I'm sure some of the pics here have been retouched and some of the women have a ton of makeup that's very apparent in the enlarged photos, but they have imperfections still.

I guess it's like listening to vinyl records versus a digital recording. The occasional hiss or tiny skip gives the music a unique charm every time you listen. These babes from past decades don't all look the same, even if they follow the fashions of their day. The shots of sex are also sometimes a little messy looking and not as sterile and neat as some of today's porn.

They have links to special offers and live chats that will give you a sampling of what these other websites have to offer, although you will have to pay extra to fully access all their features. There's an "extra" section showing a dozen photo galleries that date from the 1990s. I'm not sure why they don't consider this part of their regular content because they all come from issues of Private.

Nothing is dated on the website, so I can only assume that new content is added weekly. Now, obviously when your content is coming from the past, there is a limit to how much your collection can grow in the long term. Still, I think that in this case, they've got quite a few more pictures up their sleeve. Private Classics may appeal to those who wish to return to a simpler time.
