vintage erotica

· 🌡️ 46°F

Elsewhere I mentioned looking at vintage porn and @vincent was like, 'Uh, from the 70s?' and I realized I haven't blogged about it here. I am totally considering going into porn to support my novel-writing habit. I initially considered big-breast-fetish porn because well duh (there is a touching story about how I first became inspired to not be self conscious and defensive all the time about my boobs and to actually figure out what size bra I should really be wearing after I saw a bunch of softcore porn shots of a 34F chick and realized I was bigger than her and there she was making a living off her boobs, holy shit).
But then I was like, no man, no. I should do reproduction vintage erotica. That would be so rad.
I should probably address the whole burlesque-is-geek-erotica thing. There is this motion lately to reclaim the erotica of less-jaded (theoretically) historical periods, and it's more intellectual than sexual for many-- burlesque and pinups are the province of nerds, and are done not only for getting one's rocks off but also out of notions of feminism and identity etc.
So anyway.
Bandwagon-- am I on it? Hell, I AM it-- roller derby is another version of this, reclamation of former exploitation as new empowerment.
Anyway.
This is a somewhat ill-considered rant. So instead I am going to post some images that are vintage erotica. [...]

Yeah, I've restarted Firefox several times and I can't post anything, can't upload any media.

@paul, the Upload Media button, I can say pretty certainly, doesn't work in Firefox on the new release of Apple.

    That sounds like a lot of fun. I am an amatuer photographer. But I don't do people and haev never done a photo shoot. But that sounds like the most fun photo shoot.

    Best of all, with me you can guarantee that I wont say creepy things to you.

    Well, I might, but they would be more dead-puppy-in-a-cheese-mold creepy rather than hey-baby creepy.

    We should totally do that.
    But I need more costumes.
    @matthew suggested eBay for vintage undergarments but, uh, I'm not exactly a standard size.

    Wow that is a tease. I was so ready to see. So do you really think vintage porn is more about intellect rather than just getting off? I do like vintage porn but never thought it was about intellect.

    To be honest I don't think we can really say things about vintage porn and really be sure. The reason is that when you look at things from the past you look at them based on today as opposed to how they where then. But also back then there where different standards of what could be shown publicly. That being said there are things that people think are sexual and really aern't. For example go-go dancers dance in cages but often just dance and don't strip or get naked. From what I have heard real show girls do go topless but it is about the dancing. If I go to a strip club it is cause I want to see a girl get naked and see her tits, ass and pussy. But if I watch a burlisque act it is about the act itself and then maybe some nudity at the end. Do some stippers work in great dancing yes, but that isn't why we go see them. So i guess it is more complicated then I thought. In any event I hope you can get the multiple upload working I all ways like porn pictures.

    I'm uploading some now that I know how to do it.

    No my point wasn't that vintage porn *was* intellectual. At the time, it was no different than porn is today.

    But for someone *now* to study antique porn, that has a veneer of intellectualism, at least. I have to look up the article I read about modern burlesque being for nerds, but I know the catchphrase "nerdrotica" wasn't originated by me.

    I study antique porn because i find it hot not intellectual. Thats all I'm saying. If someone were to give me a History lesson about porn I would like that too. I find vintage porn exciting because at that time it was more forbidden. It makes it extra erotic.
