Classic Seduction Review
Date:November 27th, 2007
Score: Full 5/5
Niche: Vintage Porn
Main Draw: I absolutely love this site from head to toe. You have nooo idea how happy I was to pop inside here and check it out. This is a mostly exclusive vintage collection that not only presents some painstakingly remastered content, it also has a ton of vintage trivia about the everyday life of the time periods each photo set was taken in.
Design/Navigation: The site has a user friendly design with sidebar based navigation. You get to all of the sections via this menu, and it's pretty simple to figure out where everything is and how to get around.
Pictures: To start things off - this is a newer site. Because of this, the content numbers don't quite match up to those of more established sites, however the personality and depth of knowledge that Classic Seduction shares on all things vintage more than makes up for it. Plus he'll catch up soon enough, I'm sure!
There are currently 2,784 vintage porn photos at Classic Seduction. These cover quite a few different eras and niches, and they are well categorized by the predominant theme (such as Victorian, Fetish, Burlesque, etc). While I have seen some of these pictures on other vintage porn sites, not only are these very carefully remastered and improved, he also has a giant base of private photos that he found in his parent's house. Thankfully instead of stashing it away, Classic Seduction decided to put it online for all of us vintage nostalgia lovers to enjoy.
So pretty much, no matter how many vintage pornsites you've been on, chances are you're going to see something new here. I love it when this happens.
Movies: There are 53 movies and 24 clips, divided up into several different sections. I do have a little gripe about the movie section, which I'll get to later, but for now let's talk material. Like the photos, these stag films and vintage reels are not anything that I've seen before. There is both hardcore and softcore videos here, featuring a variety of vintage vixens and horny harlots. The quality and resolution varies, which is understandable given this is all several decades old. They were all very enjoyable, though.
Extras: This is one of my favorite parts of the site - all of the extras. Now these aren't just shoved into a random extras area. Instead, trivia, videos, and photos of our past history accompany the galleries, giving a great glimpse into the past which is good for us who love vintage, but might not be old enough to have been around for many of the things he talks about.
There are also specific sections for movie posters, printed ads, and tv ads, so if you want a real eye opener as to how much things have changed, just take a look at some of these.
My Favorite Part: Definitely the trivia, although the new rare vintage erotica was very near and dear to my heart.
Speed The site browsing speed and download speed were both fast.
Originality While I have seen some of the vintage porn material here, for the most part it is originals dusted off, remastered, and uploaded to the site.
Updates The site is updated every day, and the webmaster is very open for feedback via email and their forums.
Annoyances There were two things that bothered me, although not enough to really lower the final score. The first is that the pictures coudl really use some type of gallery navigation. Right now you just open up the pictures instead of having slide show options or any forward and back browsing. The second was just the variety of formats that are used with the movies. There's mpeg, real player, and wmv all scattered about - it can get to be a wee bit annoying after awhile.
Is It Worth it? Classic Seduction might be a bit smaller than other vintage pornsites right now, but it does boost an impressive exclusive vintage porn collection, along with a lot of very interesting bits and pieces of trivia into the past. This site was made by a vintage lover for vintage lovers, so you should feel welcomed here. Plus, the price is in line with the amount of content they currently offer, although I personally would not mind paying standard porn site admission prices for a site with this much personality and flavor.
Price: (all prices in CDN) 17.95/month | 41.95/3 month | 69.96/6 months
