Vintage Erotica Forums

Vintage Erotica Forums is a long-lasting, massive, and actively updated internet forum that specializes in hosting pornographic videos and images from prior to 1997, but also contains sections for newer porn and even non-porn-related discussion topics. Having been first founded in 2005, the site itself is vintage, but it is by no means outdated. Vintage Erotica Forums have had over half a million members, one hundred and seventy-five thousand threads, and nearly four million posts over the decade and a half of its existence. These days, the site still averages a respectable one thousand posts each and every day, and at any given moment there are as many as five thousand users active on the site.

A Plethora Of Porn

The main part of Vintage Erotica Forums is organized into several sections and subforums, each specializing in a certain type of porn. The site’s centerpiece is the classic models section, which hosts media relating to models who began their career prior to 1995. This section is itself split up into two pages, one for classic hardcore pornstars from magazines like Hustler and old films that show full penetration, while the other is dedicated to Playboy-esque softcore magazines and girls from less-explicit films.

Each of these sections is further subdivided—along with the main forum, these sections also have a request page and a forum dedicated to discussion topics about the porn stars. There is even a forum for classic male pornstars, which, although not quite as active as the female-focused forums, is still a nice change of pace and a welcome surprise for those who are interested.

The next largest section of Vintage Erotica Forums is dedicated to classic celebrity nudes. This designation is itself subdivided into nudes of women born between 1945 and 1984, as well as a section for golden-age vintage images of women born prior to 1945. Though not quite as active as the more modern section, these extremely old erotic images are hard to find elsewhere, and even when they can be found they’re not in as high a number or as excellent quality as they are on Vintage Erotica Forums.

Next up is the subforums that host classic magazine scans. One forum is dedicated to images taken from old magazines, including a request page where you can attempt to recover images of a long-lost love or build up your collection of your favorite classic porn star, while the other hosts a library of complete cover-to-cover scans of some of the most popular porno mags of all time, as well as some rarer, lesser-known but equally excellent publications.

The classic movies section is equally interesting. There is a forum for old hardcore films as well as one dedicated to softcore stuff, but each is worth visiting. Like the still photos and magazine scans, this vintage porn is nearly impossible to find elsewhere, and it’s aged surprisingly well. Newer doesn’t necessarily mean better, and this truism is nowhere as well-proven as it is on Vintage Erotica Forums.

Last of the vintage porn sections, but certainly not least, is a discussion forum focused on all types of vintage erotica. This section is essentially a catch-all forum that allows just about every type of porn that would fall into any of the other categories, as well as anything that doesn’t fit neatly into any of them. Between the many sections that Vintage Erotica Forum has dedicated to old porn, essentially anything from prior to 1995 has a place on the site.

Ancient Meets Modern

Despite the site's name, Vintage Erotica Forum does have more than just classic porn. Though not allowed elsewhere on the site, there are a handful of forums where porn produced in the current century is allowed. Though by no means the focus of the site, these pages are a nice change of pace and can still be a source of excellent porn.

That being said, the focus is definitely on the vintage porn, so the modern sections are fewer in number of subforums and amount of content. Altogether, you’ll have six sections for this type of porn: one for images of pornstars, one grouped by studio, one containing movies, one containing celebrity nudes, one focused on modern magazine scans, and lastly, a catch-all forum for any and all modern porn that doesn’t fit neatly into one of the other areas.

And Plenty More

Vintage Erotica Forums further defies the expectations of its name by rounding out the site's content with a number of surprisingly active subforums not dedicated to hosting porn of any kind. Again, these sections don’t get nearly as much love as those that make up the heart and soul of the site, but they’re also nothing to ignore completely.

There are two main subforums that fall into this category—one for general discussion, and one for jokes. While this small number might seem insufficient, it actually goes a long way towards ensuring that these forums are actually useful. Rather than split the small audience of members who wish to discuss non-porn-related topics into a hundred different subforums, this consolidation of topics into a small area ensures that these forums are actually somewhat active. The discussion here won’t be at the breakneck pace you’ll see elsewhere on the site, but it’s also not so slow that you’ll be waiting days for a reply.

As For The Forum Itself

Vintage Erotica Forum uses vBulletin as its backbone, which means a few things for your average viewer. First and foremost, it means that the site comes with all of the functions that any good forum should have, including user profiles, post histories, and a perfectly-functioning search feature. It also means that the site’s mobile version translates perfectly, and that anything that you can do on the desktop site will work just as well from a smartphone.

The site does have a few ads, but none of them are horribly inconvenient. The major offenders are just a few banner ads that show up at the top of most pages, as well as pop-up ads (primarily for cam sites) that will appear when you move between subforums. If these bother you, you can easily install just about any ad-blocking software to get rid of them, but if you’d rather keep them up to support the site (which, by the way, is totally free) they’re easy enough to close when they do appear. Alternatively, the second you register for an account all of these ads will disappear, so you have more than one simple option for creating an ad-free experience.

The only other real issue that comes with Vintage Erotica Forums is one that plagues basically every internet forum of this age. A vast majority of the content on the site is not actually hosted on Vintage Erotica Forums, but rather consists of links to third-party image hosting sites. Many of these hosts, particularly from the forum's early days, no longer exist. As such, you’ll occasionally come across a dead link that will bring you to a 404 page rather than your intended destination. This doesn’t happen so often that it ruins the site, but if you get deeper into the archives, it’s definitely something that you will notice.

Within each subforum, the community is generally helpful. The site does have a long list of rules and regulations that users must abide by, but most of them boil down to common sense. As long as you’re kind and respectful, you should fit in with the site’s members relatively quickly.

Perfect Porn From The Past

Vintage Erotica Forum does what it sets out to do nearly perfectly. The site is, bar none, the greatest repository of pornographic movies and photographs from the mid-1990s and earlier.

The only type of person that Pornsites.com would not recommend this site to is one that has absolutely no interest in its subject matter. The only possible downside to Vintage Erotica Forum is also its greatest strength for some—it focuses nearly solely on older porn. Yes, there is modern porn, but there’s only enough to act as a side distraction to the main course, not enough to draw in users who aren’t interested in the classics. If vintage porn interests you, the site works perfectly and you’ll find a lot to love. If it doesn’t, you won’t.
