Initial review: 11/29/2006 - Updated on: 7/12/2008

Not everyone is interested in seeing the new niches and quickie fucks currently offered on the web. In fact, some people love the classics and on the Retro Porn Archive, you get access to all those wild collections of the past.

What I love about the design is that it completely reflects the type of old-style content, you'll find on RetroPornArchive. It divides its content into photos and videos.

Content is further separated into two galleries of hard and softcore. There aren't sets, but rather there are individual photos and you receive around 35,000 pictures. The size of the photos varies, but expect them to be relatively small.

Resolution is also not fabulous, but some of these pictures are from the early 1900s, so I didn't really expect them to be super-quality like we might find today. All of them are black and white and the scenes range from the erotic to the hardcore and you'll even find early day pin-ups featuring bondage and BDSM.

I was surprised to find videos added daily, but very happily. Again there are two galleries and you'll find a total of about 790 movies. Almost all of them are black and white, but there are a couple of color films that look like they were made sometime in the fifties. Softcore consists of solo gals and lesbians, although there are some foreplay scenes with men. Hardcore is self-explanatory, yet I was admittedly surprised to discover that many of the shots and angles in these films are similar to those we see today. For example, there's one film with gaping holes, which I thought was a newer phenomena or fetish.

Films aren't spectacular quality, but again, I wasn't expecting them to match the standards I expect from porn sites that I usually review. Downloads take a bit of time and there is only the one AVI format and speed. Films are around 10-minutes long, which seems about standard for old movies.

Some are blurry and others, especially as you get closer to the 1960s, are much clearer. Those into hairy pussy will love the naturalness of the girls in these pre-shaving eras. The action varies, but you can expect a lot of garter belts, stockings, heels, blowjobs, lesbians and hardcore.

Sex obviously hasn't changed much in a hundred years, but Retro Porn Archive delivers classic films that are just as exciting now as they would have been back in the day.
