Before there was such a saying as “Safe, sane, and consensual,” before many of today’s porn viewers were even born, there was an underground gay kink scene captured in artfully grainy 8mm footage that would look right at home alongside the films of Kenneth Anger and Derek Jarman. “Vintage Bareback: Underground Kink” collects film strips circa 1970 and makes them available on electronic media for the first time, courtesy of Lavender Lounge Studios. The silent footage is set to an instrumental soundtrack that serves to heighten the drama of the starkly sexy black and white imagery.
To see this film for the first time is to watch a time capsule of erotica being opened. In many ways, this is experimental fetish – these men were making up their acts of debauchery as they went along using homemade implements of pain. Watching these unknown men engage in hardcore, homemade BDSM is thrilling in a way that escapes a lot of modern fetish porn. Spanking, fisting, extreme penetration, gangbangs, auto-fellatio, and leather-clad cowboys engaging in CBT are all featured and even though you’ve seen those things before, they take on extra layers of sexual power in this context. These were secret thrills in a time when discovery of their kinks likely would have landed these men in a lot of trouble, which can lead to an emotionally charged viewing experience.
Vintage porn fans will find this an essential piece for their collection, because classic fetish doesn’t get much more exciting. “Vintage Bareback: Underground Kink” is available for download-to-own or as a 48-hour rental from our VOD Theater. We highly recommend putting it on at your next party or running it in the background during your next playtime for some great erotic inspiration.
