When I hear the term "retro gay porn", I, and probably most people, automatically think of the 70's and 80's and the likes of Al Parker or Leo Ford. Fine and dandy, but I find gay smut from the 50's and 60's to be extremely hot- and I think I know why. The sexual revolution of the 1960's gave way to the erotic freedom and expression of the 70's, hence the explosion of gay porn and culture. But back in the very conservative 50's, sexuality of any kind was simply swept under the rug, to be ignored. Especially homosexuality. Of course homosexuality existed back then, it always has. But growing up, I would always find myself just assuming that it didn't exist way back then, know what I mean? Kind of like when you used to think you were the only gay guy in your small town or high school.
Now as an adult, I of course see that homosexuality, and all its forms of expression, still existed back then, and now, thanks to the internet, we can enjoy these titillating and extremely hot visions of repressed gay urges, back in the saccharine 50's. It all seems so forbidden, and that's a big part of why it's such a turn on for me.
Men from this time never looked sexier, no manscaping, no steroids, just natural looking men the way god made them
