Porn Collectors

[SUPERsmitty]

So I was thinking, there are groups or societies of collectors for just about anything. So are their classic/retro porn out there? It'd be cool if there were, I'm the kind of guy who likes collecting things away and seriously collecting porn would be fun.

Not like turn of century porn but like 60-present stuff...

Vintage erotica

Good question. I'm sure there are traders and collectors. But I don't know where they hang out. A lot of the stuff from the 70's that I've seen more recently has been chopped up and heavily edited to remove "objectionable" (non PC) scenes - the ones that got Ed Meese, the Moral Majority types and the Feminazis rolling back in the 80's. Someone gave me a copy of Her Name Was Lisa (Vanessa del Rio and Samantha Fox) and every "hard" scene that I remembered had been edited out - wasn't worth watching, IMO.

I guess it comes down to who's transferred old VHS and 8 & 16mm(?) movies to DVD without screwing with them. And then whether or not they'd be willing to trade or sell them without running into legal or copyright problems. Let us know if you find anything.

I really like some of the TASCHEN books: (vintage) erotica and reasonably priced and lovely presentation

I love Erotica artists like Kevin J. Taylor.

I collect his books, digital and 'analog'. He is so f***ing great! :bowdown:

I guess I was thinking it would be cool to start collecting the Originals in the original Format and like classic magazines/comics/books and retro movie posters....that sort of thing all of the Swag and memorable of the Industry from yesteryear.

I've actually quite a few 1960s Playboys, as well as quite a few 1970s Penthouses and Hustlers - many from the very early years, along with a lot of lesser titles from that period (Velvet, Swank, High Society, Swedish Erotica). I've got quite a few older films, as well, though few are in the original format.

So I just did a basic Ebay search and found some interesting old Playboys and Penthouses .... maybe I could start trying to collect all the back issues of those.

I didn't find any cool retro/vintage movie posters or anything...that would be sweet.
