Expressing ourselves sexually on film and in pictures is not a twentieth century concept. Pornography has been around since time immemorial. The only thing that has changed is our attitudes, although there are still many repressed individuals the world over. Thankfully, none of them are hanging around here. So for all you open-minded folks, Delta of Venus has compiled a collection of vintage movies and images from times past.
When you login to DeltaOfVenus you'll see a very nicely organized and neat page that describes what's on the site. It also tells you the most recent updates with dates provided. I appreciate a site that's straightforward and lets you know what's coming up or changing. It makes you feel like a valued subscriber. Navigation is also a breeze with a menu at the top of the page and links to get back to where you were without having to use the back button.
So what kind of sexual retro fun are you getting? Well, there are a total of 220 movies in four categories: early silent films 1920 to 1950, mid-century films 1950 to 1969, burlesque and nudie flicks 1940 to 1969 and erotic animation. There is a streaming option or download them in poor to good-quality QuickTime format.
The countries represented are the US, UK, France, Mexico, Germany, Italy and Sweden. You'll notice that in the sex department not too much has changed over the last few decades. There's fellatio, penetration, threesomes, BDSM and more. Of course, the majority of films are in black and white. They were re-encoded, but still have that old-fashioned feel.
There are two picture sections for a total of 23 photo sets. The "art" section has 11 galleries of erotic paintings and drawings from the 1500s to the 1940s by German, French, American, Russian and Italian artists. The "images" contain 12 galleries of photos from 1850 to 1969. Categories include women, BDSM, sex and lesbian. Again, you'll notice that porn was just as naughty and raw back then as it is today.
Extras include interesting articles (such as the history of dildos, famous pin-up models and an intro to nude photography), full-length novels downloadable in PDF files, sex-related audio recordings, suggested reading and word origins so you can learn where all those sex terms came from.
Delta of Venus is a great site for those into vintage erotica and pornography. The producers have a sincere interest in their subject and make the site both informative and educational. I highly recommend this very well-priced site if you like old-fashioned adult entertainment. Also, while the content is obviously not filmed exclusively for the site, some of what is here would be almost impossible to find anywhere else.
